Kinda based off agreeing with you, here is my take.
The longer the qoute, the more I pay attention.

If it's " Great guy, great hire" I don't look twice.
If they go slightly deeper and point to anything specific, I pay a little more attention.

Just as I view the fact that they said something when asked as not worth noting, the fact that all the answers were somewhat generic is what stood out to me, but it no way makes or breaks the hire.

I don't know why people can't accept that some of us are uncomfortable with this hire and in wait and see mode. His resume doesn't impress me and the Vols are at a pivotal point in the rebuild. Had we had a great offense last year I'd understand this kind of move. But we didn't. The offense was the weakest link by far and would have preferred to bring in a name that had really been making a difference lately. This isn't the time to have a place filler until Z is properly groomed imo.

According to some logic on here if your resume doesn't wow you it's not a good hire. If we use that logic not one person on the staff should have been hired. Same people weren't wowed with Butch and questioned if he could recruit in the SEC. most football resumes don't jump off the page but that doesn't mean they can't win at the next job. Now people want to question his peers praising him? If Brady or the others didn't want to comment, they didn't have to. These guys owe Debord nothing yet people want to come up with an excuse as to why they gave a quote. Keep reaching to justify your dislike for the hire if that's all you got.

Been gone for a while. Has anyone figured out why he's basically been sitting out for 2 yrs.?

Was it due to personal problems, just taking some chill time or what?

Just a guess. They were asked to say something. They didn't call up the KNS on their own accord just to praise the hire. If asked, you're not going to cause a scene by saying no comment or something negative. You never know when your paths might cross again.

Makes sense except that I can't believe KNS would do Butch's bidding.

Until he coaches a game we can all just speculate. I prefer positive speculation but to each their own. Just wish the season could start soon. Go Vols

I've been here 8 1/2 years. 20k is nothing given the timeframe. I've posted substance before that post and after it.

We are "impressed" with your resume and appreciate your many years of substantial posting. We are in awe of your keyboard awesomeness and sharp intellect.

What I've learned from your posts in this thread, in summary ... (1) you don't think DeBord was a good hire and you take exception to those that do (assume that includes CBJ), (2) you like to make fun of those that do not have high post counts, especially when they use :rock: more that once in a post, :rock: and (3) you enjoy "debating".

wow. You only got one thing right. It has absolutely nothing to do with post counts. I never once brought it up. You decided to. A poster made a post that didn't bring any facts or points to the conversation, so I called him out and you had to start whining like a little b**** about it. Grow up "Poppa"

Michigan 2006

Rushing Offense: 18th in the nation

Play Distribution: 38% (25.2 per game) pass to 62% (41.2 per game) run

Turnovers: 2nd fewest in the nation at .9 per game

2007 wasn't as great due to injuries to Chad Henne (Ryan Mallet played as a true freshman in his place) and RB Michael Hart. At one point their starting RB was a sophomore, their qb and a freshmen, and they had two starters on the offensive line who were freshmen.

Michigan 2007

Rushing Offense: 53rd

Play Distribution: 44% (32.5 per game) pass 56% (41.5) rush

Turnovers: 78th

How about has never coached QB's and hasn't recruited in forever. Nowhere close to what anyone wanted.

The guy said he had never coached QB'S. I was simply stating that was false

So how about we say, the guy hasn't coached QBs at a high level and he's close to 30 years on coaching them at all?

That said, I'm sure he had some say as OC

I don't understand the purpose of DeBord--is he supposed to be a real OC or is he just an "honorary" coach--Butch paying back an old debt?

I think if it was clear as to Debord's role, people would handle the hire better...just telling others to trust Butch is not going to cut it. People said Trust Kiffin, Trust Dooley.

Anyone with actual inside information want to share the thinking behind this hire?

Google it if I'm so ignorant. Show me what a "power" I formation is.

I'll give you a hint, you can only run it out of 30 personnel groups (30, 31, 32)

Edit: hell, I'll do it for you.

Power I Formation | Youth Football Plays and Formations

That's "power" I. It's mainly used by youth programs.

So if I'm following you by definition you have to have 3 backs in the formation. Usually a fullback tailback and depending on position and nomenclature a blocking back or wingback. And to make it an "I" the qb, fb,and tb would be lined up perpendicular to Los behind the center. If that is the case I only see the Vols running that in short yardage or goal line formations.
