[jhen713]

i'd pay money to see james franklin's face after he found out

$800,000?

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

I want to know where all those "bama dave is here to destroy our program," "bama dave needs fired," "bama dave hates 'us," "bama dave is only here to collect a check," etc, etc. are at? They should at least have enough balls and backbone to admit Hart is fully supporting Butch and the football program. Hart said he was going to give Butch all the tools he needed and by hell he is.

well since you asked,Bama Dave lucked up and backed into hiring CBJ,now what has happened is that CBJ has full support of the boosters and Bama Dave is along for the ride,so the mighty Vols of Tennessee get a great hire well you did ask

and WELCOME ABORAD COACH SHOOP

There is a really mediocre movie about that. Long story short, don't do it.

Dang CBJ does it again!!!! Great hire!!! GBO oh and BOOM!!!!!!!

Unfortunately I have already watched Click and I wish I could get that time back

Great hire! I guess when Jones said he was going to put together the "best staff in America" he didn't mean all in one season.

It takes 6-7 years to build a good staff.

It takes 6 years to build a good staff.

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

The hell are you talking about??? Any time spent Kate Beckinsale is time spent wisely...

I am told he loves it here and will be here as long as we will have him here

That's just wrong :}:}:} This will go right over most folks heads :}:}:}.

The only thing I heard is what the others said. Thig and marti out. But I am not 100 on that one. One of the two hasn't helped himself (I can't mention names). He kinda rub a few people the wrong way in the mid state.

That was my understanding in that Shoop wants to bring two coaches with him. If so, it could be Stripling, Thig, or Martinez. With Shoop's defensive philosophy of pressure and turnovers, seems to me replacing Stripling and Martinez makes the most sense.

Personally, there is no way I would get rid of Thig.

I have to take the time to say, even though I've only been a member for a short time I've been lurking for several years. I'm ever thankful to those awesome folks who keep us all informed, especially times like this weekend. You all rock :rock:

Unfortunately, he's the one with the issues. Goes deeper than just on field performance.

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

Alright, we getting serious about winning championships now!

 

[NashVol11]

I'm sure it's been said dozens of times, including by me, but this is a brilliant hire.

 

[golfballs]

Does he like analytics?

 

[CoaxialOrange]

It's great to be a Tennessee Vol...

 

[SDV]

Guys, his name is Shoop, like the title. Not Shoops. Lol. Smdh

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Does he like analytics?

I bet he has some good charts seein' as to how he's got him one of them Ivy League diplomers.

 

[gobraves101035]

Amazing hire by Butch Jones. He was right when he said that he would assemble the best staff in America.

If Thig does go, any chance we could get Brady Hoke to coach LB's? Would make this staff unbelievably stacked
