Grade The Tennessee Football Coaching Staff

[ShowMeVol]

What grade would you assign for the completed coaching staff? Yes it is early....but this isn't a "final" grade.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Why not just ask the homers to raise their hands?

 

[Rockytop]

A+ Still patiently waiting for on the field results though.

 

[mcompton]

lol

 

[Reggie92White]

On paper I will have to give in an A obviously. But I still want to see how it all pans out, I hope there are not too many cooks in the kitchen.

 

[TennTradition]

Probably an R.

 

[Big Orange Expres]

Only time will tell. Obviously, CLK put just as much importance on recruiting as anything else. If these guys coach as good as they recruit.

Unbelievable.

Ditto

 

[Oldblood]

Grade has to be incomplete right now. Let's grade them 3 years from now.

 

[GERALD JONES 4 HEISMAN]

i will give a grade in January after we rattle off 14 straight wins

 

[NorthwestVol]

this is the first time since '01 that I have felt good about the Vols.

you're seriously going to pretend that you didn't buy some of the preseason '05 hype?

 

[Vols N Shocks]

C. Staff looks good, yet I see no results so far. Come NSD maybe we will get some surprises to bump to a B or an A.

 

[TRIONZ VOL]

So we are not hiring anyone else correct? I saw on VQ that he had completed his staff. So either Drayton is staying or going obviously but that means someone will do double duty on ST

 

[BeecherVol]

So bad, he forgot about it.

 

[Goliver24]

A+ Still patiently waiting for on the field results though.

Yeah I agree 100%, maybe we should pull this thread up in December next year and see how many still agree! I think we will be correct, at least I hope!

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

In all fairness to the graders and the staff, the grading should take place in late Feb. of 2010

 

[CICEROMESSIAH]

I give this staff a b+ right now. not so sure about offensive staff. But i see kiffin being highly involved on that side of the ball so maybe he can make up for weak offensive staff. not sold on cregg, garza, reeves and strength and conditioning coach.

 

[volsgrad89]

B+ right now, only time will give the true grade. Garner and/or Gonzo would have made it an A.

 

[IPorange]

Hell, I bought the '02, '05, and '08 hype. I am a sucker for good news, and yet still seem to fall on the "realist" side of the spectrum around here.

 

[GAVol]

Added an option to the poll.

 

[ShowMeVol]

Added an option to the poll.

I never said it was the "final" grade

 

[PredUTor J]

I am cautiously optimistic about the staff. It looks good on paper, but so has the Yankees.

I'll give out grades when they actually turn in some work.

 

[UT's#1Fan]

my vote is for A+

 

[TheVol]

B+ right now, only time will give the true grade. Garner and/or Gonzo would have made it an A.

Don't agree. I think Wilson>Gonzo and Thompson>Garner as overall coaches and recruiting combined. I don't think we could have done much better.
