It does seem that way doesn't it?
However, if you really stop and think about....
Tennessee is one improved season away from being right back.
The ONLY thing that Tennessee has not had in the past few years is a coach who can prove he can win. Nobody wants to play for someone who just can't get it done on the field. They want to play for a guy who can win, and who they know will find a way to win.
Once Butch proves that he is that guy (and I believe he is), Tennessee will have all the pieces again. We're going to have stability, we're going to have facilities, we're going to have the conference power, we're going to have the fan base. We're going to have a great university in a great location. And hopefully, we're going to have a winning coach and our winning tradition will be re-established again in this decade!
I see carl sticking with his commitment. But if he is a vol on NSD :3cheers::3cheers::baloon::baloon::baloon::groupwave::3083yourock:
Clemson contact telling me that AU is attempting to hire Carl Sr. as a Asst Strength & Conditioning coach.
I do not buy it as he seems like a straight up guy, however, we are a week away from Signing Day.
Rather than proceeding to dress in black and start cutting your selves, why don't some of you doomsayers please do some actual research.
Try this one on: How did Mississippi State and Vanderbilt drill us like they did? Seriously? Was it their teams full of 5 star talent? Was it because we don't have a team full of 5 star talent?
While you're at it, take a look at how great Oregon has recruited over the last 4 yours. Why are they insurmountably better than us?
Since most wont take the time to do the research I'll give you the answers. We beat the crap out of both MS and Vandy in recruiting, and were roughly equal to Oregon. The only reason that we aren't playing at that level is coaching. We now have a coach that wins above his teams recruiting level, and he will do the same at UT. It may not work out this year, but it will work out in time. Seriously. Put down the razor blades...
