In the post game coach said that the competition is open week to week and that the best practice gets the start.

Here's how I see it. Dobbs is the immediate future I feel. But other teams have tape on him now and he is mistake prone and inaccurate. I'm all good with starting Dobbs and letting him make his mistakes, but if Worley gets healthy soon and has a better practice, he will be back. Coach likes experience and Worley just doesn't make the mistakes. Dobbs will be very inconsistent. I'm fine with that, Butch will not be.

The last few games he was a turnover machine with no threat to run. I'm going with Dobbs over a healthy Worley.

I'm sure it gets discussed and in Dobbs case, maybe there was a plan to give him a redshirt year. But plans change. Again I don't know if Coach Jones asked for "permission", but let's say it's true Coach Jones askes and Dobbs' parents say "no, we don't want him to play. You said you would give him a rs year and we want him to have it. Find someone else" Then what? My point is that it should never get to the "then what?"

You actually think this "attention to detail" coach doesn't have that base covered? LOL

So was the rumor that Peyton + the BIG Donors got involved and Gruden agreed to terms and was just finalizing the details.

It's a BS rumor and that's it.

Incorrect. Dobbs Dad lives in Hoover and is good friends with my sister. She is a hygienist and they met that way and through mutual friends. That is 100% accurate. I had her ask him so it came straight from his father. I didn't even know his parents were divorced and that he lived by me till a few weeks ago.

My guess is Jones will want to keep the possibility of Worley out there until late in the week.

Can't imagine any opposing Coach, especially Spurrier believing anybody but Dobbs starts next week. Besides based of yesterdays reports Worley will be out a while and possibly all yr.

I agree. I was thinking the whole time...."this is EXACTLY what we saw from Dobbs during the Orange and White game, in the Spring."

This is what bothers me about the coaching staff deciding to redshirt Blair, too...despite our desperate need on the OL. Bad call, all day long. Blair didn't have a 5* offer list for nothing. Is his strength and conditioning levels where they'd like it to be....no, but his size and talent is better than what we currently have.

Butch says ALL THE TIME that you can only tell so much about a player WITHOUT LIVE GAME REPS. So, with that in mind...and seeing how Dobbs made that point crystal clear, why in the hell did we try to FORCE a square peg (immobile pocket passer) into a round hole (Zone Read offense)?

THAT, itself has been the biggest mistake of CBJ's tenure thus far. I like Butch and I do think he's got us close to turning the corner. But, if he had started Dobbs....who fits Bajakian's offense better than Worley or Peterman...then we are probably looking at only 2-3 losses rather than 5.

I think them holding Blair out and playing Crowder rather than Weisman at C...has contributed to the number of losses we've racked up. You don't hire a Sumo wrestler to ride your thoroughbred in a horse race, and you don't try to force a lead-footed pocket passer to run your zone Read offense.

You sure do a lot of blabbing and posting on here and most of the time anyone who has a REAL clue about what's going on knows that YOU DO NOT have a clue. YOU think you are a better coach than our multi-million dollar SEC coaches because you read volnation posts and watch a few limited team videos. Maybe YOU should take a break from Volnation (and get a life) since you are actually part of the problem around here. How on earth can you make the comments that you are constantly making? What are your qualifications? lol

The Dobb Goblin made some plays out of our broken offense just in time for Halloween. Who knows what might have happened without yet another classic Bonehead Bajakian moment (and we all know which play I'm talking about).

In this winter of Vol discontent, I can't help but reflect on Matt Simms and Justin Worley - two QBs who were tough as coffin nails, who were fed to the lions, and who were then benched for the games they could actually win. I believe in seniors and until the hits kept piling-on, Worley has been one of our best offensive players.

The Dobb Goblin is unleashed; there is no way to rein him back in.

Butch does so much well from Sunday to Friday. Unfortunately, in his business, almost everything that really matters happens on Saturday. He's got to win A LOT of games from now until the end of the season. If he doesn't believe 4 - 0, he is just feathering the nest for the next guy.

I don't know what play you're talking about

Sounds like some BS rumor (not surprised, when you had so many rumors about Gruden accepting the job)....trying to save face for Butch.

Don't buy a bit of it. Families don't dictate who plays/redshirts, etc. Coaches do. I like Butch, but in light of the Spring game (the biggest scrimmage all year until the fall kickoff), how can you flat out miss it in your evaluations of Dobbs?

I mean he has stated repeatedly that you CANNOT properly evaluate a player without live game reps. Who else have they wrongly blown off? If Dobbs was deemed 3rd string they really f-ed up their QB assessment, and called their judgement into question greatly.

I believe Blair has likewise been underestimated....cause he doesn't bench what they would like? Pfffft. We NEEDED Dobbs (best fit for Bajakian's offense) and Blair this season.

If you have any facts to back up your opinion please post them. Otherwise it's just a rumor like the one you are complaining about, although yours has less support.

You can tell North is excited to have him in there.

He in no way threw Worley under the bus, but post game he said something about the "chemistry" they have together, best friends, roommates, etc.

Which is even more interesting considering that the Ferguson family claimed to have been responsible for North coming to UT in the first place.

OP probably thought this thread had potential, but crashed and burned in the end

Are you saying that OP lost that lovin' feeling?

And yes..."Dobb Goblin" is extremely cringe worthy. I don't like it at all. Even if the nickname came from a place of pure affection it feels like it could have some really negative connotations.
