Jim Bob Cooter

[Behr]

Sure. But why suffer it from the folks that have fond memories and are supposed to have your back?

Wouldn't bother me. Fans are fans.

 

[State of the Vols]

Cooter has made people smile since the beginning of time.

Not sure that woman he allegedly climbed into bed with was all that amused.

 

[UTvol53]

Sorry but if you're a Lions season ticket holder, your opinions with regard to quality football are questionable.

That statement would further emphasize my point. They don’t play quality football and have had a sub par offense. Why would we want that?

 

[Grudenator]

JBC is terrible and nobody should want him as an OC

Lol his offensive line and running backs were complete garbage during his whole tenure.

 

[feathersax]

As a reluctant Detroit Lions season ticket holder I can vouch that we do not want him as our OC.

Fair enough. I suppose Randy Sanders is out, too.

Sub par talent......kind of like at UT.

Not this year. He’s a bad playcaller. Period.

 

[1974Vol]

He's a NFL guy and will be on some NFL staff next season. Probably not a good fit for us anyway, no recruiting connections or experience.

Dude was brutal in detroit. No thanks

This time last year, JBC was talked about/interviewing for NFL head coaching jobs. He had a bad year under a rookie head coach this season. Before that, he was a rising star in the NFL. There is a better than decent chance that Patricia is the problem in Detroit, and not JBC. Calling his career in Detroit brutal is just ignorant.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Never will leave the NFL.

 

[onevol74]

Because he passed out?

Same can be said about Vols season ticket holders unfortunately

 

[GetEmVols]

Coach Cooter... alliteration!

Yup, ESPN quoted him from last week saying, "I plan on being in this league for a long time." I can't imagine why anyone who has the opportunity to coach in the NFL would want to move to the college coaching madness. If the NFL just isn't where you fit, like Saban or Spurrier - or Sark maybe - then I can see it, but not otherwise, and especially not for the same role.

Unfortunately, so is Losing Lions.

 

[FLVOL_79]

You are not doing the hire, so you can’t judge. Only by your opinion.

Really?

 

[dovervolz]

I just can't believe the # of Tennessee Fans that would favor Hiring a Bammer over a Tennessee Grad under any Circumstance- The Worst Tennessee Volunteer is better than any Bammer- Has 2 Decades of wandering in the Wilderness that we are so desperate we have turned to a Bammer to Solve our Problems- God Help Us

I have nothing against Tee, but he has his opportunity before and choose not to come here. But if your SOOO hung up on Tee, then maybe you should start following Louisville football.

 

[JohnD13]

Throw the bank at him . Best VFL candidate there is right now

NO....

 

[Roustabout]

......crawl inside, pass out in the light of the moon

I think he would even stay as a QB coach in the NFL before coming to college as an OC.

 

[Henry Letham]

DO NOT WANT JIM BOB!
F*** COOTER!

 

[JacketVol]

How about we don’t renew and then fold the team and you won’t have any games to watch for free. Way to take a shot at those who support Tennessee football financially.

 

[Milehigh_Vol]

I want Cooter!!!!

 

[VolInDayton]

Dont understand the hate he is getting now. The margin of error is so small in the NFL. If Pruitt is targeting a NFL OC to run a pro system it is going to be a fired OC. A fired NFL OC is going to be more qualified than 98 percent of current college OCs.
