It all goes back to wanting to win. Was the op a little short sighted? Yeah, he was. Does not change his intent. He wants our team to win.
Most of your sunshine pumpers are quite happy where we are, and even see improvement in our hapless team. Those who see reality will not stand for the current state of our beloved Vols.
I read just fine by the way, friend...
I hope you'll take the time out of your busy life and actually read all of this and then think and try to see some facts and reality before you just jump back and slam another post on here.
I want to Win as much as anyone and probably more because I'll probably be dead before 10 more years and I want to see my Vols play in another SEC Championship game and maybe even Win it and get a shot at another National Championship before I did.
At your young age 10 years is a piece of cake man but I already ate my cake so I want Wins as fast as we can rebuild this team and our program.
I'm not a subshine pumper which is why I warned people all Summer NOT to overexpect and think this team was a 9 or 10 Win team this season and why I constantly tried to tell everyone that even in the NFL where they practice 10 to 12 hours per day is still takes 2 years to learn everything and get the 3-4 D down pat.
I hate nick saTan but despite that I give credit where it's earned and the Bama D has been ranked number 1 for 2 years in a row, won 1 National Championship and looks like they can do it again this season and I hate that.
Chip Kelly at Notre Dame has the same D coordinator for 3 years and now they have their 3-4 D working well and look where ND is ranked right now.
CDD said he makes decisions based on what's best for our program for the LONG term which is why he switched us to the 3-4 D and Wilcox doesn't know how to coach and run the 3-4 like CSS and some of our D assistant coaches do.
I'll bet you would be real happy if our D got it together by next season and we always had a top 10 Defense most of the time from now on because if our D this year was just top 30 we would probably be only a 1 or 2 loss team right now and if our only loss was to Bama we would have already WON the SEC East and CDD would be trying to figure out how to beat Bama in the SEC Championship game and everyone would be happy.
Last year we couldn't run at all and CDD said he would fix that and he did because he knows we have to run the ball to Win consistently in the SEC.
Our Offense is better than it's been in 10 years now and last year we got totally BLOWN OUT in most big SEC games but this year we ARE competitive except that our D hasn't come together yet.
Oyr player roster was a joke when CDD got here and in the last 5 years we've had 5 or 6 go in the NFL but NOW we have maybe 18 to 20 future NFL players on our roster and CDD brought most of those kids in and that was in just HIS only 2 recruiting classes.
Bray and a couple more were recruits of laMe kiffScum, you know man, the so-called 1st class of CDD but it's NOT his class when CDD had only 2 WEEKS to try and keep the laMe class together and to try and add some players to that class.
Nobody can do much in 2 WEEKS man especially when he can't even tell the recruits who their position coach will be or what experience that position coach will have but still CDD added Stone, Hunter, Da'Rick rogers and a few others to the laMe class and Da'Rick could have been a superstar if he wasn't stupid and would follow the rules instead of being a Cancer to our Vols.
CDD has made this team better and he started trying to get our Defence going too so our Vols D would challenge Notre Dame and Bama every year and be ranked in the top 10 so we could compete with any team we had to face in any bowl game but we started with basically nothing and rebuilding a college program takes time.
Is CDD really the answer...I have no idea and neither does anyone else because our player roster is NOT on a even ground with the top SEC teams just yet BUT you're not dumb man and you KNOW for a fact that if we had the D to stop only 3 to 5 big scoring plays per game we could have Won every game so far except for bama and we would have played Bama much closer than we did.
I only want 1 thing...WINS and lotsof them and the sooner the better.
I do NOT want CDD fired and to waste $10 Million in buyouts if the only thing we can get is another CDD.
Either get a huge HOMERUN hire with a proven, winning HC that's also at least a proven top 10 recruiter and really good assistants that are also really good recruiters or else save the money and keep CDD for 1 more year and try to find the real HOMERUN hire for after next season if CDD and CSS don't get our D fixed and can't Win the SEC East.
It's just dumb to fire CDD to only get another CDD type coach so it must be a HOMERUN hire or forget firing CDD how.
Personally...I'd rather throw $8 Million a year and pay his buyout and get Nick Saban who's PROVEN what he can do than to spend $5 Million a year for Gruden or some other bozo that's NOT proven they can recruit or Win in the always tough SEC.
I do NOT support CDD or any other coach...I ONLY support my Tennessee Vols and that includes whoever we have as coaches and players.
We are very close to winning the SEC East and only our new 3-4 Defense stopped us this year so I don't want to see us set backwards for several more years by hiring a nobody coach that can't get it done and we have to start all over again 4 or 5 years from now.
VFL...GBO!!!
