Tennessee has been the most frustrating program in the last 20 years because our lack of success has had 0 to do with talent… Every coach that’s been here has recruited enough talent to be successful… our problem has been poor coaching and development and losing culture… that is the most frustrating part because an average coach can win 8 games a year at Tennessee and a good to great coach can win championships… that is why it is so easy to get behind a coach at Tennessee because if he is average or better he will have success here… we have just had a run of mediocre or flat out terrible head coaches… CJH has the cohesion of his offensive staff that’s genuine and you gotta love that and it’s almost guaranteed that we will score points and his handling of the media is refreshing so he is easy to like… only time will tell if he is the guy but it’s easy to understand why people will believe in almost any coach UT hires… I thought Pruitt would be great because of his work ethic and no nonsense attitude which breeds elite position coaches or coordinators I vastly underestimated how bad his ppl skills are and how it takes so much more than just coaching to be a successful head coach… the job will not be too big for CJH if he finds his guy at Qb UT will turn around quickly and he actually trusts his staff to do what they are paid to do on both sides of the football
If he can build a program that's fun for the players, like he says he is going to, that will go along way. Having fun in Pruitt's program was not allowed.
Josh is a good dude. He's well spoken, likeable, and humorous when he wants to be. A great competitor and well respected as a player, coach, and play caller. You can tell he is a genuinely humble and sincere. He may not have been #1 on our coaching list, but I think he is the right guy, at the right time.
I can't wait to watch this offense in action this season. Recruiting should pick up once recruits see the product on the field.
In 33 days you'll know moreI'm optimistic about Heupel, but I don't know more than anyone else whether he's going to get it done or not. What I do know is, just watching him at media days, he seems like a much better dude than Pruitt ever did. One reason I think the fanbase turned on Pruitt so quickly was his raging ****head routine. That's fine if you are winning but when you are piling up 4 touchdown losses at an unprecedented rate it gets old real quick. Anyway, ding, dong, the Gump is gone, let them know that the Gump is gone!

I saw more poor defense in the spring game than I saw great offense. Hope I'm wrong though.remember our coach and Mike Leach started this side by side! They think the same! I saw more offense in the spring game than I remember since Peyton Manning! It ain't roster and it ain't recruiting. It's coaching and we gonna be fine!
