You can forget about guys like tyrelle Pryor coming to UTK when Phil is running his mouth to the media about "old school football". To kids today that translates to "old timey football", which is more boring to play than it is to watch.

It's just a general reflection of his media skills. "Smash mouth" sounds somewhat exciting, even to those of us who know better. "Old school football" sounds like some game your grandaddy played in a hayfield. It's like a charitable solicitor who says "hey, can you spare some money for my charity" versus someone who says "How would you like to help change things for the better?" Sure, it's semantics but one sounds better than the other.

If Terrelle isn't smart enough (heh, 3.1 GPA I think I saw somewhere) to know that Old School Football is good defense and a good running game... he would know if those 2 things are done well, his job is much easier. He should be smart enough to know that pretty much the entire NFL runs a "pro-style" offense pretty much the same as ours, except we run a no-huddle all of the time, which I think only Indy and New England have done and netted success.

I think DC, and his resume, will have the biggest impact on TP coming or not coming here... not what mud is being thrown around on the papers.

It is just inconsequential to me. I would hope the coaches develop close relationships with potential recruits that are deep enough not to allow a players decision to hinge on how the coach phrases something in an interview.

I'm pretty sure that the only people who get hung up on the phraseology a coach uses in an interview are people who are looking to get hung up on phraseology in an interview.

I wish they would bring Crompton in for a series early in the Vandy game just to test Vandy with a running QB.

Fake punts, the Gerald Jones QB thingy, just anything to keep the opponents D off balance.

Who knows, it may pay dividends down the road when the opponents have to worry a bit more about our newfound unpredictability.
