May mean absolutely nothing, but...
The man looks rested and confident. Doesn't have bags under his eyes, doesn't have a haunted or hunted look about him, doesn't have the appearance of a person who has been losing sleep or pulling his hair out in worry.
And that's potentially a very good sign.
Because (a) recruiting scandal and possible sanctions, or (b) bad team chemistry associated with all the roster departures over the past six months, either or both of those two things could be bubbling in a bad way beyond our notice. But if they were, you'd think the coach would look more like he's been suffering some worry.
He's looking really self-assured and relaxed.
I think we're gonna be okay.
Nothing concrete, nothing you can hang a hat on, but it's a good sign for a program that's been through as much as we have this past year, to have a coach that comfortable in his position.
Go Vols!
