Did I hear Marcus tell Marquez "yall have a real football coach?". Man I hope everybody is right about CJP. He seems like a level headed guy and very likable guy.

Yep. Vol fans need to decide if they want to win or have a guy that will talk to them like they want to be talked to. I don't care if CJP even likes the fans. Just coach football. I would take his no nonsense attitude over sunshine pumping any day of the week.

Agreed. Pruitt will have a ton of time to have these guys in better shape with summer workouts plus fall practices. I am not worried. He found out today who is willing to show up and play. He will make adjustments and play the guys that want to actually be on the field.

Callway was impressive if we can get Jennings back to healthy we might have something to look forward to in the WR bunch.

Pruitt is an old school coach. More coaches need to be like him these days. Coaches like Butch, lead to self-entitled and underproductive players and citizens.

Yep, heard it.

Seems to me, there are three kinds of football coaches:

-- Coaches who know football is a game. These coaches tend to stay at the pop warner and (uncompetitive) high school levels.

-- Coaches who know football is entertainment. These coaches end up being Butch Jones. That's their apex.

-- Coaches who know football is life. These coaches either win championships, or burn themselves out trying.

Seems to me, we now have a coach of the third category. Doesn't necessarily mean we're on the road to championships, but at least championships are a real possibility now.

Maybe that's what Marcus meant. Even if it wasn't necessarily the best venue for saying it.

Haha, that's very cool, Cooking. Great job turning a Long Islander into a Vol fan!

I think if you go to the Vol Village on campus on the morning of game days, you'll have a pretty good shot of seeing Smokey (and the cheerleaders) up close. The Village normally opens up something like 9 am, and runs until game time. Don't know if there's a "best time" within that window for seeing Smokey or anything.

Good job, again! Long Islanders are awesome people, have had very close friends from Uniondale/Nassau County.

I can't agree with "a ton of time" . One short fall and summer just can't correct 2-3 years of doing little or nothing correctly. Gonna take the better part of two - three years with a lot of good recruiting and weeding of "don't want to or can't" to get this mess fixed.

A couple of decades ago I spent about 2 months in Garden City, NY doing some training in the fall. A few weekends while up there I was allowed to play in a flag football league with one of the guys from there. I still laugh about trying to cover a guy running pass routes on every play who yelled, "YO Vinne dro me da ball I'm open!!!" BIG difference in college and pro followings up there. Most are massive NFL fans and could care less about NCAA football.

Two years ago, spears was praising Jones greatness. I don't listen to anyone bc they all are idiots. They say what they say for ratings.

The question will be whether top recruits want to play for an old school coach. This is not the 1950s, 60s, etc.
