Bob Shoop officially announced as Vols' defensive coordinator

Shoop Dog!

 

[Nationdom]

Shoop's probably foaming out his mouth thinking about all the talent on this defense. He's got at least 8 future NFL starters to work with on the roster right now.

Kaboom

Stripling is a great coach. He isn't going anywhere.

Correct

 

[VOLanooga]

Can he resiliently follow the process and learn how to win? That will be the biggest question for CBS.

Stripling is a great coach. He isn't going anywhere.

I didn't say Stripling wasn't a good coach. But if Shoop wants his guy, Shoop will get his guy.

Great hire. I am very excited to see what Shoop can do with the elite athletes we have on that side of the ball.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

It's about time we start getting breaks like these. We have been on the wrong end of the breaks for too long now.

GO MOTHER!@#$ING VOLS!!!!!

To borrow one of your recent replies... "Classy".

Back at ya!

Well if Pry is coming with Shoop then I dunno what they would do with Thig. I also said Martinez just because Shoop's baby is supposedly the secondary so I imagine he would like to have his own guy there as well. I can't say it enough though that I'm merely speculating and am nothing more than the casual fan.lol

Pry was actually the co-DC and leading candidate to replace Shoop. He'll prob stay put and get paid.

Well when someone drops a Dooley on your program it just might

A joke, but this is exactly what Butch is doing. Takes time to dig out of the financial ruin in order to pay someone like this. It's happening.

 

[TheThrill]

Welcome aboard Coach Shoop. Great job by Butch and Hart and whoever else to get this deal done. Thanks to VFL34 and the other "insiders" for keeping us informed. GBO!

Strip isn't going anywhere

 

[advancedrescue27]

BOOOOOMMMM!!!

Am I doing this right

 

[river rat]

To think I have to wait until 9/3 to see this team play an actual game...where is the fast forward button on life

Don't wish it away. Savor every minute. Wish I had a rewind button sometimes. Or maybe not. Heh.

First ever post and this makes it even better..........BOOM

love it

 

[gobraves101035]

I think this helps in recruiting big time. Lamont Wade is already listening and liking what he hears.

It's good to be on the other side of a coach poach. Dickey to Florida. Kiffin to USCw. KO to Northwestern. Cuonzo to California. Stan Huntsman to Texas. Doug Brown to Florida.

 

[WildTurkey]

In Brice's article on TOS, there was a really odd quote:

"Shoop had endorsements from elsewhere in the SEC and coaches around the sport with which we spoke. His endorsements, however, wasn’t universal."

What does that add and where could it have come from?

 

[malinoisvol]

BOOM!!!


Been holding that for two days. Sweet relief.

Ain't that the truth.

Really hated lising CCM and CKO.

We have poached plenty of good assistants through the years.

 

[ITSGR82BATNVOL]

I'm betting the timing of this can't hurt with Derrick Brown.

We get the last visit, end of Jan too, which is always a good thing.
