I was talking about football and him selling that theyre not the "same ol vandy", but they are. Their education has always been top notch, it hasnt stopped them from sucking for 100 years in football though

They may be the same old Vandy, but we aren't the same old UT right now. The fact that we are competing with them for recruits is insane.

I would rather see and hear that Dooley has the Vols helping with habitat and visiting Children's Hospital turning these young men into community leaders and representing the University of Tennessee as leaders. CDD should not be on twitter talking smack or trying to create a buzz around a historic program every program goes through what UT is going through CDD walked in to a program in disarray and has coaches that want to be at UT now I don't think the coaches that left wanted to be their or they would have stayed and fought to the end CDD needs time and Patience from the fan base you are not going to rebuild in three years how long did it take bama to get back to where they are now we as fans need to support our team and coaches not tear them down every chances we get Go Vols

I'm not saying that community service isn't important, but that happens at every school.

Compare JF's recruiting careeer to CDD's. There is no comparison. JF is the one who should be taking notes in that area. Me and people like me are turned off by the used car salesman pitch JF brings and Im sure word will soon be out.

As a car guy, I am definitely offended by being likened to James Franklin.

We will recruit based on facts. Not based on hype.

Fact #1.) We are historically one of the most prestigious and successfull football programs in the country and we WILL be again!

Fact #2.) We have some of the finest facilities in the country, including a brand new state of the art training facility and a beautifully rennovated 100,000 + seat stadium!

Fact #3.) We have one of the best, most rabid fan bases you can find anywhere in the country!

Fact # 4.) We have a terrific staff of coaches and trainers that will make these players the best they can be and put them in the best possible position to prepare them to get to the NFL.

Fact #5.) We have the VFL program that serves as an excellent tool to prepare these young men for life beyond football.

And I am sure there are countless other tangibles and intangibles that our staff uses to sell our program to recruits.

Thanks for proving my point for me. I disagree with none of that. Which begs the question: why is our recruiting on par or just slightly better than Vandy's? Answer: Because Franklin knows how to sell his product.

Players sold on something that they find to be bs are the first to bail or get in the dog house for lack of effort when it gets tough.

Exactly!

Another thing: Tennessee isn't Florida or Texas. We can't just sit back and wait for recruits to come to us because they grew up in-state as fans, or love our tradition. We have to work harder than the majority of programs in our "league" because of this.

We need a salesman as head coach. That's just the way it is. And you don't have to be a loud mouth trash talker to be a salesman. Look at what Cuonzo Martin is doing. He's selling his type of program. Not by calling out rival coaches, but by always having his name somewhere. Any recruit who follows him on Twitter receives constant updates. How can that ever be a bad thing?

Yes ,with his team in the locker room after a win in overtime. That video was never suppose to get out or be filmed. He had to explain himself for being glad they got a win because of it. That is the difference here. You are saying he was happy about his 5th win , but he isn't running his mouth on social media and the radio saying what a great staff and how awesome that things are. Franklin and Vandy better enjoy it now , because this season will bring him back down to Earth. How sad is that? That season made them feel so great about themselves. What we think of as an awful season , is a success for them. There is the difference between Vandy and Tennessee.

That fact that the last video we saw singing that song was after we defeated Alabama, and Dooley revives it after taking OT to defeat Vandy at home, is a pretty good indicator of where the program is right now under Dooley.

They did what any team does after a win. Considering we weren't favored , injured and won it in overtime , I'm surprised this has to be explained to you. Go think of some more stuff to spin and ***** about.

When I first saw the video, I was like...

Then I thought about it for a few days and was like....

:blink:

Then I realized we replaced Alabama with Vandy in that song, and was like.....

You do realize they sing that song after every win and insert that teams state into the lyrics right?

They do?? First I have heard of it. Anyone else know if they do??

You seriously didn't know that? See what I'm saying , just looking for something to complain about. Yes , they sing it after every win. It just so happens the only one we had on camera was from the Bama game until someone turned on a camera phone and record the locker room after Vandy. I'm not shocked that you changed your opinion about how you felt about it though. You do that alot.

Still though, seems bittersweet to think that we used to sing that song after beating teams like Bama and Florida, and now are just reduced to singing it to beating a team like Vandy at home in OT.

You're just reaching for **** now. You think when we beat Kentucky in OT in 2009 Tennessee didn't do the same damn thing? We will be singing that song against better teams again. Get over it man.

Just accept you've been humbled in this thread numerous times and go to a Vandyville message board.

You know, you're right. A surefire way to mark a program as being on the rise is how they use social media to promote their press conferences AT THE BARNES & NOBLE.

Hell, I bet they had Garrison Keillor there doing a signing. Must have been awesome. I have to follow that guy.

Oh wait, I meant to say...

FAIL.
