If our three key underclassmen return AND we get Shoop, we should go ahead and buy our SECCG tickets now, and put a hold on our playoff tickets.
Source: #Tennessee LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin likely to return for senior season if current Penn State DC Bob Shoop is hired at UT.
from this guy:
Host Jared Stillman on ESPN Nashville 102.5 The Game 9a-Noon CT. Also NFL Sunday Tennessee Pregame Show. Life Rewards Action.
I hope we done have Shoop signed to a deal. And he is going back to tell his players he is leaving for Tennessee. And maybe have a press conference Sunday. :rock:
Press conference or no press conference, the world will know within 15 minutes of Penn State's players getting out of their last meeting with Bob Shoop. Large groups of players do not keep secrets.
p.s. That is if James Franklin allows a last meeting with the players. Would be petty not to, but let's not make any assumptions about Franklin's character.
Knock it off negavol! We gone whip they ass.You people need to slow down on this playoff talk. If we don't develop a better down field passing game, we have zero chance at making the playoffs. Line has to protect, Dobbs has to read the coverage better, deliver an accurate ball, and the receivers have to get open. It never fails, when a defense gets in our faces, and blitzes, we fail in one of these phases. We can not screen pass our way through pressure, defenses are looking for it, and will continue to if we do not back them off with an effective passing game.

1. Agreed playoff in 2016 is not truly likely. However,
2. OLine made a LOT of progress this year, can be expected to get even better over the next 8 months. This is no longer a position of weakness for the Vols.
3. Dobbs is great at situational awareness (his reads); that was never a shortcoming of his, and has become a true strength over the '15 season.
4. Agree entirely on throw accuracy and WR skill sets.
5. Nonetheless, we were 9-4 and whisker-close to 11-2 with what we had in '15; we'll be better in '16, against a weaker OOC game (Va Tech vs. OK) and a weaker FL.
Let's at least talk confidently about getting to Atlanta. We'll let the playoffs work themselves out after that.
Go Vols!
