Oregon is going the Tennessee direction but not in the exact order. Hired their Dooley (Helfrich), then their Kiffin (Taggart 1 year and bolted for dream job). This might be their Butch.

Did have two walk on players starting on the OL. Not to mention Crompton wasn’t on anyways Heisman list leading into the season.

I think last year’s team was our best since Fulmer.

I disagree because outside of 4 players, our team was bad and it showed this year. If you switch Crompton and Dobbs... I think we probably win 6 games. Our Oline has been so bad for 2 years now.

and outside of Barnett, we have the same defense basically as this year.

 

[HankHill]

I agree with you on UCLA.
Auburn absolutely tore up Tennessee’s defense.
I’m pretty sure they whipped Kiffin‘s team all the way around.

Dexter Mccluster just scored again...

 

[volssam]

Didn’t have much to start with bud

Very true.


Being a vol fan this last decade has its effects.

All your assistant coaches are belong to Tennessee-

Cadillac Williams

6-6 should be goal next year imo. Get that bowl

Barton Simmons on Pruitt's recruiting..

He's as good as there is in college football. And he doesn't do it by being a salesman. He does it by working extremely hard, being honest, & genuine

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

WR
TE/ST
LB

Would be my guess

Would Sherrer be DC/LB?

 

[New-Vols-Fan]

man... after letting everything sink in..... I am still frickin excited and could run through a wall. Pumped for the future of Tennessee football

The OLine has talent though. People are blurring talent with development. If we keep everyone on the team, we absolutely have talent that can be developed.

More from Simmons..

Tracy Rocker is a really good coach & he knows what it takes to recruit at a high level.

Chris Rumph big personality, engaging guy. Can step into a living room & win over a family.

 

[JFreak]

that's gotta be at least a secondary violation....lol:

I will give my all for Tennessee today.

 

[ob79]

So...we had our department Christmas party last night and, as is always my luck, I was the VERY LAST person to have my name drawn for a door prize (they made sure everyone got one)....

And drew these...

My friend who follows South Carolina, just mentioned he thinks we get Lance Thompson on the coaching staff. Apparently there is some rift between Muschamp and Thompson and thought that Pruitt and Thompson were close friends. Just passing on what I heard. It is intresting to note that Thompson did retweet the video of Pruitt's press conference. . Screenshot:

100% agree, subject to them sticking it out and not transferring. They will get transformed in the S&C and finally have coaches that can develop.

Simmons on Sherrer..

Ace recruiter. Will be a 10/10 from a recruiting standpoint. Will be able to track down the biggest names out there.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

I love what Pruitt is doing but I can't lie him being a bammer makes it weird

What exactly is your avi?

 

[Catbone]

Simmons on Sherrer..

If a good coach was coaching last year’s team we wouldn’t be having this discussion. Last year’s team was one of the most talented teams in the nation.

 

[volatil]

Simmons on Sherrer..

Barton Simmons has a man crush on this staff

 

[Catbone]

What exactly is your avi?

I need to change it again. It's a guy with a bag over his head when we botched the Leach hire

 

[amazingGRACE]

Yeah idk why Withrow keeps saying "his name is still in play at Alabama so we're not sure if he's gonna join Pruitt's staff or not" so he's wording the questions in a weird way

 

[MrVolton]

Kiffin's 1st year has more talent than this team and its not even close.

Eric Berry, Dan Williams, Denarius Moore, Hardesty, Luke Stocker, Austin Johnson, Bryce Brown, Montori Hughes, Rico Mccoy were all NFL Players. tagged with the fact that you had guys like Janzen Jackson, Brent Vinson, etc that were uber athletic.

Thats the most talented team weve had of all our post Fulmer teams. (Thanks to Fulmer)

Also had Aaron DOuglas, Joc Mcclendon, and Dallas thomas.

Also had some holes though, with two walk ons having to start on the OL and one in the secondary. We've got some untapped potential, and I actually think the two rosters are kind of close.

 

[drvenner]

I underestimated the angry DMV employee. I thought his staff would be SEC rejects. He's killing it. Coach Fulmer should be commended for bringing us such an awesome hire, IMO.
