Canales coming for second interview

Butch continues to underwhelm. All this time and he will end up with Scott and Canales as the new team? Doesn't seem like an improvement. 7-5 here we come

think about how crazy that is.... Believing a GA is equivalent to a guy that's coached for 20 years anywhere.

I think some of us wonder why we have to go from zero to one. I don't expect Sarkisian but can we please for once at least move the needle a hair? I guess that's just too much to ask and I'm a selfish greedy so-and-so for wishing for so much.

I get it. But Bob Shoop was a hire that moved the needle, and he hasn't lived up to the hype to this point.

DeBord was a hire everyone hated, but did a nice job in the two years he was here, imo.

I think Shoop is a hire that moved the needle for some UTK fans who thought too much of him because of his boss' success against the Vols. Some of us would like to, you know, hire some people with deep SEC/ACC ties who can deliver some recruits when they're not not developing the players and figuring out how not to be in the right place on third and long.

I'd say that puffing up someone like Canales because one may suspect that is the best we're gonna get could cause another one to entertain the notion you allude to.

Haven't really heard any of this "puffing" you speak of. Not personally jazzed at the potential hire. Just not declaring it a failure and jumping out of the plane before they land it. :scare:

I'm gonna hope it stays a rumor. In the meantime, I'll continue to freak out over something that may not happen and that I have no control over because the past several years have taught me that if a bad decision concerning UTK football can be made, it probably will.

If he is coming back for 2nd interview and I don't know that to be the case I will say it is a done deal!!:compute:

His defenses played well against Tennessee and must have against all the team his defense played until injuries took away his best players. They played well against Nebraska even missing 3-4 defensive tackles. Spew your venom somewhere else.

Uh we lost to 2 of the 3 worst offenses in the conference. FWIW calling other people's opinions venom does nothing to raise the level of civility.

Canales would be a huge upgrade over having GA responsible for QBs. I'm really struggling to see the issue with this guy that some of you have. He's been promoted everywhere he went basically. Has coaching experience pretty much everywhere along the offense except OLINE. He has experience with Scott as well. Developed NFL players like Rivers and Cottrey (spelling?). I see this as a huge advantage in developing a young QB. Is the problem specifically with this guy or the fact that this signals Scott will likely be promoted?

CBJ stated he isn't looking to change the offense. Most on here are upset that this means promoting Scott to OC. All I'm saying is the quicker people realize that we'll be running the same (2nd best in SEC) offense the quicker they'll get over this splash hire dream. Butch is going to live and die by his offensive system and the system really isn't the issue.

It's not the big name hire we all want, but Butch has improved the staff with each hire so far. DeBord, Scott, Shoop will have a better year in 2017 in my opinion.

I can't stand Butch Jones' offense but I've slowly come to like the thought of Scott at OC a little. It is a crap shoot hire but I am happy with Scott proving a capable play caller and I'm ok with Butch being canned if it doesn't work.

Actually it went exactly the way I expected. My original post was made half jokingly and half seriously.
I knew it wouldn't take long for the defenders of the faith to overreact.

It doesn't take much for some to get their panties in a wad..
