I agree. Let's just say we maybe catch a stroke of luck and get a Lane Kiffin offense mind w/o the potential baggage. On one hand, I'd like to keep our VFL's...Tee and Jay, but you also never know behind the scenes on if they want to be here or if they were working the McD's drive thru value meals. Steele, however, a VFL and accomplished D coach and recruiter should be retained IF he wants to be here. Let's just say we never brought Steel in for his bridge gap venture...I'd say, w/o that, he'd be at the top of the list to hire. I'm fairly on board w/ JH, but I'm getting nervous about the feeling that we're seeing another CBJ staff bringing too many cronies from UCF w/ him. Do what you want on O, but mid-major DC may not cut it. In SEC, you need someone who's been there, done that...even if you have to pay in the $1.5MM range.
Yeah it’s a Jimmys and Joes league no matter what offensive or defensive schemes you run. Tennessee needs to recruit and develop their two deep for three to four years at minimum before anyone uses the word championship around here. If someone believes otherwise than they need to take the Orange sunglasses off. I would love to see our team fight for 60 minutes, play fundamental football, and just get better each time they go out. More points is always nice but it’s way more than that. We haven’t had a staff here since 2009 that developed both sides of the ball in the same year. Dooley, Butch, Pruitt failed miserably at player development. Tennessee will always recruit well and bring enough talent in to compete if we surround them with the right coaches and older players to mentor and develop them. Hopefully this new TBD staff can start the process the right way. We have alot of catching up to do and it’s just a fact of the current state of the program.
I'm kinda curious about that also. Tweak the playbook to fit the QB's or tweak the QB's to fit the playbook. This is where a true innovator comes into play. Obviously the tweaking should go both ways. Bailey is pure pocket-type passer. We actually have 4 if you want to move Holiday back from receiver to QB who have legitimate wheels for running an option. CJH is gonna have his hands full determining the best QB fit for his offense. Hopefully he settles on one guy and don't have to experiment in season because of uncertainty. Continually changing QB's every game throws an offenses rythym off , imo. I want a decisive HC.
