Yea definitely need a home run DC. This poster went by the name East Atlanta Santa, pretty sure it’s an alternate account. They way he talked we should know before 5 tomorrow evening. Over the moon about it 🤷‍♂️
Ok gotcha. I was wondering if AV ever came back after his post saying the fans should stop complaining and get behind DW.
 
I always thought it was dumb of Lake City to change its name to Rocky Top. Has it turned out like they thought it would?
The smartest thing they've done is to allow atv/utv traffic in town. A lot of gas and lunch gets sold on any nice day, to people who wouldn't be there otherwise.
 
So I started with dreading another year with JP then the disaster and thought we're not going to win many games for three years and continue to be a totally boring offensive team to watch. So I because hopeful with the hire that we would at least be fun on offense even if we don't win many. If the DC and staff ends up being good then we could be a good team if not great. If what is being said about not being penalized too bad, we may get out of the hole about the time JH has the team in good shape. I am choosing to ignore AL, GA, Clemson and OSU until something is done about the playoffs, and nothing will be done as long as people keep watching. I'm still in the camp of I don't care where they come from as long as they want to play at Tennessee and not sure why they make that a big deal. I think JH will develop players like JP should have been able to so I am hopeful there because we really do have some good players even if we are thin. Excited that the offense is easy to learn and doesn't take years. Just seems like we spent 3 years trying to be AL and GA, and that is not happening for anyone right now. But FL beat GA with much less talent and a horrendous defense. Let's be Tennessee and the underdog like the 80s. I just want to enjoy watching them for a while. These Pruitt teams were awful to watch except a couple of games. Butch's teams were only fun when the talent got tired and took over the game. We are an afterthought, and I hope we surprise a lot of people. But I want to support these players that stick with us. And I hope we get more fans like we used to have that does that. I hope we lose a lot of the loud mouthed entitled whiners that continously complain and put down the players and coaches. Guess we're just looking at the same situation from a different angle.

Well said, SaS. This is a year of renewal for Vol football. What has been done for about 15 years has been repeating failures. New blood time with a different approach leaving the past in the past. I am glad to see them stop copying other top programs and start doing things our way. The players that want to be here deserve our full support. They have other options and choose to be Vols. Could care less where they came from. Everybody else can git. We have a HC that chose to be a Vol leader who probably could have taken other P5 jobs now and in the future. He chose to walk into a complete mess with sanctions looming along with his high competent AD. That's what real Volunteers do in life. Hopefully, we get to experience a real rebuild with an upward trajectory that will makes us proud. If it doesn't happen at least we know the motives of UT admin, the AD, and the HC were pure. It will leave a solid base for the next guy. Really want it to work with CJH though.
 
Would like to share something with y’all that’s In the works and I’m really proud of....

I’m working with a couple guys from back home on developing a “blog” through Twitter that Is completely related to film break downs. We’re hoping to have some former VFLs on and walk us through the calls and what happened. Hopefully if it gets off the ground and people enjoy it we can do some live “watch parties” once the season arrives. The goal is to make it as interactive as possible and help teach vol fans of all ages, backgrounds, and knowledge levels.
I've always thought about how cool it would be to have some sort of live viewing with comments and chat (similar to Twitch.tv but sports instead of video games). Hope it works out man.

I'm in. Love it.
 
According to AP on the pod. He said Crouch as of now will participate in spring practice but believes he still transfers. Also hearing good things about Henry T but said his situation changes constantly.

Yeah we need a DC and D staff to re-recruit these guys. jmo. I have 3 positions I'm looking to fill, Left Tackle, Cornerback, and Linebacker. I'm not desperate. I don't need anybody. I can win with what we've got although I sure would like to have HT running the D. I'm thinking about moving Perry to LT to back up Cade. We need somebody over there. I've been in the portal looking for CBs. We need some depth here. I think our starters on the OL, at QB, and WR are top notch. We need to sort out the RBs and TEs and identify some depth. Our DL could be monstrous. That's our strongest and maybe deepest group. jmo. In the middle of the D and in the back end our new DC and staff need to do some work. Where the hell are those guys?
 
Here for the 9am leak.

Maybe Dr. Danny already plugged it.

Why risk your body for a coach/ program you know you won't be playing for come fall? If he's participating in spring ball, I'd imagine he'll stay for at least another season.

So we got so far as possibilities:

Steele
Arnett

You guys got other names that are worth mentioning that are real possibilities?

He probably stays. Especially if we build a good defensive staff. Move him to edge too. I doubt Too Too comes back. But it would be huge if he did.
 
What happens to leaky anythings? Sink, blow up, get destroyed, experience pain, etc.

For now at least, it appears it is no longer business as usual. That's probably a good thing if we want to see better results with the program.

To develop is a good reason. If he completely removes himself From the team He would lose the weight room development as well
