First Year as TN Head Coach

[CasonP]

Realistically speaking, I think a 6-6 season is the most likely situation. WVU, with Grier and the rest of their offense against a newly drawn up 3-4 defense, will cause problems. Winning one game of the UF, UGA, AU, UA stretch would be a success. Hopefully, this team figures out who they are and can maybe pull out a win at home against UK/Mizz and realize that UT should never lose in Neyland West.

Kind of hard to argue that point.

I'm totally cool with it. At least we are excelling beyond expectations. Nothing but love for our basketvols this season.

I expect CJP to use what he has till he has what he wants to win now. Some coaches win with what's already there while others don't. CJP&S will figure this puzzle out and come out swinging for the fences.

I think you have your sports crossed up.:hi:

You have no idea.

Google, Jump higher Vols.

What's the football equivalent to swinging for the fences?

 

[TennTom]

I would disagree on the talent.

Kiffin was starting walkons at O line.

Don't be ridiculous. Six players were drafted off that team, including 2 first round picks, and 2 on the O-line.

Hail Mary

Ever heard the term mixed metaphor? Some of Dawg's posts crack me up.

Hail Mary

Gotta love it.

In your face!

8 wins isn’t the only acceptable season, but I am another predicting 8-4. It’s gonna happen.

This is what I'm talking about...I'd like add a +1 :rock:

Agreed

Yeah people seem to quickly forget

How can you realistically say any SEC team is a gimmie win?

No one can imo. When you’ve been absolutely throttled by Vandy for two years running, nobody is a gimme.

So what. He STARTED 2 walk ons in the SEC on the line. That is unheard of.

Pruitt's certainly behind the 8 ball, with the surprising departure of several juniors, declaring for the draft. The cupboard about as empty as it's ever been at UT, so a 5-7 season may be the ceiling for this years squad, and no I'm not kiddingopcorn:

Basketball. That is that round thing right? Seriously though I have sincerely enjoyed the basketball this season. There is no reason we have to be either/or. Why can't we just be great at all of it?

The sports gods don't allow it.

If we had the same HC running the same offense and defense I would agree.

But we don't and we won't.

I have no business guessing our plays as accurate as I did in 2017. A team studying film on the Vols had an easy day. How many times each game did it look like they knew the play. That's going back to Appy St in 2016 too.

Vandy is going to get crushed.

I would agree if Burch was still coach. He is not.

This year should be much better. We have a much easier schedule this year. West Virginia is not that good. They are over-rated. OOC is a breeze. Florida, Kentucky, Vandy, Missouri, and South Carolina are not as good as us. Auburn will be down this year. Should be a pretty good year.

No doubt.
