"But Berry insists there is a new vibe here that was pretty obvious, even to the casual observer, during Tuesday’s indoor practice. The pace was quick. Almost everything is done at full speed. It is the unmistakable energy that comes with a fresh start. And as painful as Berry found it to say good bye to head coach Phillip Fulmer and his DC, John Chavis, this fresh start has been good, he says."

Results, or lack thereof, are what cost Mr. Fulmer his job. I like though the direction this program is heading. For once Carter is right, we'll have to wait and see the results this fall.

I love this part, and it is so true!

"Berry’s words carry some weight around here. He has never been a boastful player. When you’re the best defensive back in America and arguably the best to ever play the position at Tennessee, you don’t have to brag. You really don’t have to talk much at all. You just play and Berry is a helluva player, one of the best I’ve ever seen."

And so we begin the season of the predictable quotes from players and coaches -- and that's from all teams, not just UT.

Allow me to summarize: Quicker pace of practice, new energy, yada yada yada, working out a lot, love the new plays, yada yada yada, enthusiasm never been higher, freshmen and red shirts can contriobute right away, etc., etc., etc.

Exactly! It would be news if someone said "God, do we suck" or "I cannot believe how unrepared we are for the coming season." But every year we see these same tired quotes. Like I say, its not a UT thing. Every school and every fanbase gets all wired up about it and it means absolutely nothing.

Most UT fans knew this program lacked fire, discipline and were clearly unprepared on many occasions under CPF.

Whether you will admit it or not, this staff is an NFL staff and those issues are being resolved by a staff that is superb by any measure.

To say they are "superb by any measure would imply that they have been tried and tested in all facets of football. I'm not trying to argue, but they have not yet been "measured" in SEC Big Orange football.

So winning titles at USC, winning a title with Tampa Bay, an SEC title at Auburn and coaching Brown and Cadillac, coaching Drew Brees at Purdue isn't measured by UT standards?

clearly you missed the SEC part. It's not like USC or Tampa Bay are in the same league as the football played in the SEC. Super Bowls get you a pretty ring but the real prize in Atl.

People will fairly take a wait and see attitude with Lane. I've got no problems with that. As a recruiter O is beyond reproach, and Monte is certified superb even if he never coaches another down of football. It is also hard to argue with Gran's success.

The most interesting question for me is this. How much credit does LT get for his recruiting at Bama. Was that him or the influence of Saban. Time will tell.

I agree and I would just as a DL coach as well.

I'm not saying that their seperate and individual coaching careers aren't superb. Clearly they all have notable resume's. There's a chemistry factor, though, that is so important and intangible. That's more or less the reason that I'm taking the "wait and see" road.
