Starting to look like a SEC team again

...?

I don’t usually start threads but since we can use the excitement around here Elijah Simmons, Middleton, Williams.... we are getting there guys!

We said this about Kahlil McKenzie

We said this about Kahlil McKenzie

Maybe if our current coach recruits a freak that can move like Khalil at 330, he won’t try to have him lose 50 pounds.

 

[TJSVOLS]

And stay healthy.

Yes sir, that to.

 

[onevol74]

Hope Middleton does not look like Tarzan and play like Jane like he did in high school.

McKenzie, Tuttle, Kongbo et. al. weren't midgets. The problem with Jones wasn't recruiting or that he was a horrible X and O guy. He simply lost his team.

It was both. Jones brought in some big guys but they couldn’t play, as evidenced by the guys you mentioned, KMac and Kongbo. But he also brought in smaller, undersized guys/projects that made no sense. Guys like Niehaus, Tatum and Brooks, each of whom looked like TEs at best when they got here and needed 50-60 pounds of weight be competitive as an OL in the SEC.

He also brought in some smaller DBs that couldn’t play in this league and either transferred or never saw the field here. Same goes for some of the LBs.

Beat UF, beat UGA twice, had a lead on Bama late in the 4th quarter in Tuscaloosa. The team fell apart at the end of his time here and he has been a jerk ever since, but stop with this revisionist history that he was Dooley 2.0

Butch was a walking joke. He was worse than Dooley.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

We need our LBs to start playing at a high level. Poor LB play has been a big reason our defense has sucked.

The reason why Dooley 2.0 is an appropriate claim is the state of the level of talent the program had at the time of his dismissal.

No one drafted this past season. Losing 3 in a row to Vandy, that’s a pretty low place to leave a program in.

Say what you will about Zook, Muschamp, and even McElwain, but they didn’t leave the program in a position where it was a total and complete rebuild to get back to respectability.

One of the things that has been astonishing about the failure of Kiffin, Dooley and Jones, is that none of them left it better than when they found it.

Hopefully the dline will surpise us this year

That’s what I’m afraid of

 

[captennmike]

He should have beaten Florida a minimum of three times. They were terrible his entire run. The SEC East in general was bad while he was here. He has the worst record against freaking Vanderbilt of any coach in the last 100 years.

Honestly, you put him at Missouri as OC last year and there’s a pretty decent chance we win that game.

Wish we could get him as HC at Bama.

We said this about Kahlil McKenzie

His problem was between the ears and the coaching staff...

 

[sjt18]

We need edge rushers or the defense is going to stink again.

It all goes together. You can’t unleash edge rushers unless you’re middle can stop the inside run and get push on passing downs.

It’s only astonishing to you because you root for a university who actually cares about winning... Florida would have absolutely never even looked twice at any of those idiots. The real joke is our administration and some of the fans that have defended this garbage for 10 plus years, the sooner they leave the better UT will be for it.

Taylor is that guy.

You might could justify signing guys like Niehaus & Tatum if Tennessee was running a Nebraska-type strength but jones didn’t run a s&c program that emphasized bulk & strength. Horrible fit for these young men.

According to Kiffin he did. He didn’t.

UF went 10-2 in 2015. We played them before they lost Greer. To say that was a terrible team with Greer is just flat out wrong.

Butch don’t you have some analyst work you are supposed to be doing for you Daddy right now?

 

[West Vol]

According to Kiffin he did. He didn’t.

He left the pieces of an NFL offense. A decent coach could have built a program from that. The other guys had us at C-USA talent across the board.

They lost four games. Got lucky to beat Kentucky the week before us. They played a lot of crappy teams and beat a good Ole Miss team. They were nothing special. We had the talent in place to wipe them off the field.

Tatum is just now looking the part. Hope that translates into playing the part better.

He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy that will be natural at that weight. Probably a matter of time before Wright takes over.

Same for the "beast" aka Kongbo. Always better to wait and see what they do when the pads go on and the SEC bullets fly.
