We need more people on here to try to THINK before posting total garbage on here.
THINK...Most of the nation holds up alaBubba and nick saTan as the gold standard in college football and it's hard to deny that.
nick saTan says that the S&C coach is the most important coach on his staff and I believe the S&C coach at alaBummer is the highest paid S&C coach in the country so what saTan says also seems to be backed up by the AD with top $$$ for the S&C coaches.
Now THINK again...The S&C coaches spend MORE time with the players than any other coaches are allowed to.
In addition to S&C wouldn't it be logical for the S&C staff to also be talking and teaching the O and D playbooks and testing to see that all players at all positions are also putting in the time and work to make certain they're learning and making progress to become better at playing their positions?
THINK...a DT absolutely MUST be a VERY strong person and they MUST also be quick, fast footed big guys in order to push around the O linemen up against them.
A fast, strong DT with a quick get off at 300 to 310 pounds will knife between O linemen and be in the backfield blowing up plays more often than a BIG, slow 325 or larger man will be.
Maybe that's why saTan and Shoop both want really strong, fast footed guys at the DT positions.
Maybe when you THINK things through and gain some real footVol knowledge before posting garbage on here you'll also be getting less flak and BS in return.
Also it HAS been well proven over the years that both our current players and our recruits and their parents DO spend lots of time here on VN reading what supposed, intelligent fans have to say about our players, coaches and programs.
All the negative, oftentimes really dumb, fire everyone posts on here really DOES hurt recruiting and our all around program and that's HAS been proven.
IMO many of the negative, know nothings on here really are NOT real Tennessee fans.
They are really TROLLS and fans of other teams that are only here to stir up crap and try to hurt our recruiting as much as they can and that's a tactic that's been used by fans of other teams for many years.
Some peoples lives are crap so they love to stir up as much crap as they can...I just ignore them and if most also ignore them they'll run away and go find another board where they can get the attention they can't live without.
FACT is we have no new AD and the HUGE buyout means buTch is NOT going anywhere for at least another year so we may as well settle down and support our footVol program no matter what coaches or players are on the Hill.
VFL...GBO!!!
