Thank you. It's my day job. The orange is still a little off though.

I'm pretty sure finding a competent QB will be priority #1.

Well perhaps that would be first. Maybe I should have said first order of business when the season starts...

I agree. I should have worded this thread differently. Still I think that should be a goal. Neyland isn't scary anymore.

So long as the season ticket seller's booth is sponsored by Geritol, that's not going to happen. There has to be some way to bring down the average age of ticket holders and make the place rock...

Other than that, I'd say purging the offensive coaching ranks would be a good start. Make everyone reapply and go from there.

I still think Coleman could be ok with more development.

First order of business will be to make a good first impression with the fanbase on Monday. Plenty of division out there with this hire and much uncertainty to go along with it.

A strong presentation, both during the speech and in answering questions from the media, will do much to heal divisions. You don't want resistance from behind. You don't want to see, read, or listen to different segments of the fanbase talking about your ability to do the job.

I think he needs to do three things:

1. Introduce himself.

2. Lay out his plan for the future of Tennessee football.

3. Come out forcefully when he gets the inevitable questions about his Oakland experience.

If he impresses the fans as much as he's obviously impressed the Powers-That-Be, then
he'll be getting a wave of momentum at his back that he can harness and use during the recruiting process.

When is the kiffin press conference? Will he take questions from the media about the style of offense and defense he will run?

I probably jumped the gun on that. I'd think it would be Monday. Don't know how specific he'll get on the schemes he'll implement--he may very well tell us to take a look at USC for a glimpse at the future.
