Sanders was an absolute disaster of an OC, the main reason our program started to fall apart, and then later was only hired as a position coach at an SEC doormat. I'm sure he's grown as a coach in the years since--but he was terrible with a capital T.
What's your opinion of Debord?
I see clues.As an offensive player, we want consistency, simplicity, and honesty from an offensive coordinator. No b.sing. If it gains yards and scores touchdowns, that's all we care about. Experience is very much what we need to have full confidence. Confidence means buying into what the coordinator is saying. Most of all the personality has to fit in with the staff, no odd balls. With that said, if he were to be an offensive coordinator, he would have my confidence moving forward because I know he will be following butches system, and that debord has plenty of experience and success as a coordinator in a time that offense didn't win games(he was successful with how he had to be). But don't put all the stock into him being the coordinator. No one knows who it is, nor should they. Butch is private and he has good reason for it. He more than likely does not want to burn bridges with other schools, therefore waiting would be smart until all players commit
Keep in mind, despite all this, we continue to get top recruits committing and no players decomitting. As I said, butch has a plan and he will see it through. No matter who is the OC, it will be butches play book with tweaks. He is a man of consistency and if you want tennessee to win the east, an easy transition in offense is what they need. All this is positive stuff.
...the coach is in the sec garden with his spade. He tills the soil with Confucian consistency, until national signing day, on which 30 rosebuds will bloom and out of them will run a powerful force of volunteers and a new coordinator with a sinewy mind destined to slay our predators. Wait in optimistic silence as the cosmic plan....unfolds.

I am a long time reader first time poster as well. Good to see other vols in my area, originally from Lawrenceburg, TN now in Florence, AL.
