Awesome Quote From Hood

I have no problem with humble as long as winnning comes along with it, but right now TN needs some Dick Huffmans, Steve Kiners and Al Wilsons that demand to be the best at what they do, save humble for the championship victory interviews, JMO.

A better quote would have been " I'm gonna do whatever it takes to be better than Mo Couch or any other DT on this team, or in this league, I'm here to kick ass, be the man and help TN win every game it plays".

That sounds like KELLY WASHINGTON a few years ago...I would rather he take the humble road and kick butt on the field!!!!!

Talking about Maurice Couch:(may have been posted already)

"If he's a better player at this position, then go,'' Hood said, "because I'd rather see us get 10 wins and me playing no snaps than us getting no wins and me playing 40 snaps.''

I love that attitude. I really hope that is the attitude the whole team has. I hope they're working their tails off to win the competition, but when or if they're beat, I hope that they recognize that there's something bigger than their statline.

Very impressive indeed.

:good!: I'm Proud of Hoods' attitude,effort & accomplishments'.

I believe this will be his 9th season in the NFL. Obviously has done something right.

I personally think he should take an approach like Haynesworth, coming it and calling our senior lineman telling the O-lineman he would whip their ass and the D-linemen that he would take their job. Top 10 pick, highest payed defensive player at one point, now plays with arguably the best franchise in the league.

Sounds great, except that Daniel Hood is no Albert Haynesworth. So why in the world would he come in and say such things. And who are these 'senior lineman' you speak of?

That would be just dandy with me too, but the reality is that humble in this league will normally get your ass kicked for you.

Then you don't understand what being humble means. You can be the best football player in the world and still be humble. Just because you are humble about your talents has no connection with how you perform on the field.

I bet JOEY is a Kiffin Fan!! Sounds like he likes the RAH RAH crap. I hope Hood keeps that TEAM attitude and then comes in and knocks some heads in about 20 days! Oh but wait!!!! He can't do that unless he talks a bunch of crap and runs his mouth! haha...

I know a lot of guys that are humble and are "yes sir" "no sir" and when needed, can kick your ass from here to Sunday.

Dont mistake being humble for being weak. That would be a bad mistake

Did Hubbs mention how many times Dooley will blow his nose or how many times the defense will give a high-five after a big play? Hubbs is ALL KNOWING!!!! hahaha

Seeing is how that's his job, i imagine he has more info on the team than i do. I'm just a fan, no inside contacts, don't have any ground breaking recruiting news to offer. Maybe i should just turn in my fan card.:unsure:

I have noticed one thing for sure about not only Dooley and the coaches, but the entire team...they definitely subscribe to the addage of 'no one accomplishes anything except by the team'.


I am reminded of a statement that Johnny Majors made during the 1986 Sugar Bowl..."When nobody cares who gets the credit, then you have a chance to be a great team." I might have missed a word here or there, but that's what he said.

Yes, they were 8-1-2 during the regular season, but the team that took the field against the "Mighty Canes", and all their talent, was probably one of the best UT teams...on that day...to ever take the field.

If Dooley brings that attitude to this program, then great things will result.

Go Vols.

Ease up on the Red Bull, Skippy.

If I have my choice between a sh*t-talker, and a sh*t-kicker, I'll take the quiet one every time.

It's why snipers are so much more valuable than 2nd Lieutenants...lol.

Go Vols.

Great attitude...I don't think he said "let Mo Couch start"...but "IF he is a better player"...team first not me...too many armchair quarterbacks try to make/read too much into a sentence or two. Love the kid!

This.

My name ain't skippy there princess, and I don't do Red Bull. When I start seeing some snipers on this squad I'll join that attitude until then you take the humble approach and I'll take the Steve Kiner and Al Wilson approach.

Don't confuse swagger and confidence with downright arrogance and egotism.

Some of the responses in this thread are sad. Always looking for the downside. He said he would not be upset if he didn't see the field, as long as the team won. Doesn't mean he isn't going to bust his tail to be on the field...just that he wants the team to win more than he desires personal glory. If the whole team feels that way, they will get it done!
