Problems with first year coaches?

I'd take a 6-6, 7-5, 8-4 type of season if the players were busting their ass around the field. I don't get near as mad when Tennessee basketball loses a game or a series of games because I know every one on the court is busting their ass for a win.

I don't see that with Tennessee football anymore, at all.

Our offensive and defensive lines lack so much talent it's laughable.

I bought into the player hype and "star systems" for too long.

Top notch talented players don't go out and lay eggs like our guys do regularly just based on bad coaching.

Our cupboards aren't bare, but we stink outside of a couple of guys on either side of the ball.

Coaching, technique and discipline goes a long way. None of which have been around for a while. Penalties are killing many drives.

Yeah well being tired of being a below par football team, sacking it up and driving a man off a line goes a long way, too.

Rod will turn them around soon enough...That spread option is not the easiest offense to learn right off the bat and not only that, They had some bad bad luck as well...It happens

Michigan's switching to the spread without the right players not to mention they lost Henne, Hart, Manningham, and Jake Long on offense. They wouldn't be much better with Carr still there unless Mallett stayed and tore it up.

This is too funny. We're having a discussion on where we suck more. Players or coaches? I tend to think most of the blame lies on the coaches.

Rod Wilks is sitting on the bench right now. That's all you need to know about this coaching staff.

There's not another coaching staff in the country - college or pro, football or basketball - that wouldn't have that guy in the starting lineup.

Fulmer and his band of wisenheimers are clueless. They've got to go.

2nd year coaches who won national titles:

Jim Tressel, Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer

Les Miles was in his what, 3rd year? He didn't exactly have to rebuild a team but Tressel and Meyer won it all with the talent left over from Cooper and Zook's classes. I think with this group of 2nd yr players on the team now, Tennessee can have a great year in 2010 with the right coach.

Obviously there is bad blood between Wilks and Fulmer. If Wilks is on the field he saves Phil's job.

Did anybody think Michigan had a shot at being good this year? Rich Rodriguez will turn around Michigan, but he is adapting a whole new offensive philosophy. It will take time.

I bleed orange and white but live in wolverine country right now. Only thing keeping neighbors off my back about the Vols is the bad luck that Michigan is having right now. Rich will get them going just takes time and Carr didn't leave him much to work with either. It's amazing to go out to dinner and see the amount of State fans here now

Wait, let's not sell his talents short to two sports. He's a beast on the diamond. When asked what side of the plate he hits from, he said, "All three". I don't even know what that means, but Wilks said it.
