Stop Looking For the Hot New Thing...

Lol

And also, I get it, you’re a resident mod and probably get to control isht here. Don’t care bruv. You may have misunderstood the innocuous tone of my original question. LOL am I right VF?

 

[mercuryvol]

Why do we not look at Bob Stoops as the answer?

 

[LittleVol]

He never won the west at Ole Miss so no I'm not kidding you. Yes he beat Bama a couple of times but look at his record 2012 7-6, 2013 8-5, 2014 9-4, 2015 10-3, 2016 5-7. None of those were SEC West Champions, 1 10 win season, and the rest are average 7 wins. If that is championship winning then we should have kept Butch.

Butch had 2 nine -win seasons
A 5 win season
A 4 win season

In the weaker division of the conference.

 

[Vol865]

Why even make a change if you're going to hire Steele? Go $12 million in the hole for a lateral move

 

[Rickyvol77]

He won at Ole Miss, are you kidding me?

He had 80% of his wins vacated. And he had to cheat to even get one 10 win season

 

[Rickyvol77]

He won 10 games and the Sugar Bowl at Ole Miss, you're totally missing the point. Tennessee has far greater resources than Ole Miss. Ole Miss is the equivalent of South Carolina

He went to Sugar Bowl because he upset Bama and still got blown out by Memphis and lost to Arkansas

 

[Volsfaninva917]

He had 80% of his wins vacated. And he had to cheat to even get one 10 win season

This is the sad part, we have so many fans on their moral high horse that they don't think that there are any coaches on the hill that cheat. You think Pruitt is clean? Laughable, you think Barnes is squeaky clean Wally Cleaver? Ha!

 

[Volsfaninva917]

He went to Sugar Bowl because he upset Bama and still got blown out by Memphis and lost to Arkansas

Again, he did that at Ole Miss that's comparable to what Franklin did at Vanderbilt

skirting the rules is a little different from paying players, fixing tests, and hiring underage hookers

 

[Volsfaninva917]

That stuff literally goes on here

 

[tastycar]

So in an era when even Saban says defense doesn’t matter, you want to hire another “elite defensive guy”?

I want to take a dude who can hang 50 on people (Art Briles?) and make him hire Muschamp as DC

Didn't Briles even get in trouble at his current high school job? I could endorse and overlook a lot, but I can't overlook covering up rape no matter how talented he is as a coach.

 

[jarhead]

Bold statement. Now prove it.

 

[Rickyvol77]

That stuff literally goes on here

What coach pays for underage hookers?

 

[Volsfaninva917]

What coach pays for underage hookers?

Stop with the underage bs, that was 100% rumor and never proven

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Bold statement. Now prove it.

That goes on at every university in the SEC except maybe Vanderbilt

 

[Carl Pickens]

I think there are enough weapons on offense if Pruitt's ego would allow him to get out of the way AND admit that he does not know everything. He needs to focus on the Defense. HT will be gone after next year, or if they put in a 1 time waiver, this year. There is not 1 capable LB on the team outside of HT. Banks looks better than Crouch. Crouch is very stiff at LB.

Move Crouch to rb because the LB experiment has failed

Idk the answer to that and I don’t believe he covered up rape. Also the player in question was acquitted and never played a down for Baylor because they immediately suspended him. The other player in question was also acquitted but he did actually play.

 

[Vol8188]

Move Crouch to rb because the LB experiment has failed

Why aren’t we moving him back to OLB? He was good enough there last year when our pass rush was even better. Now we need a rush. Give Banks all the reps at ILB and move Crouch outside

 

[OriginalCoach]

Hugh Freeze wants this job, he's a championship caliber coach

Right? Just ask any prostitute

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Right? Just ask any prostitute

I love how half of this fan base is on its moral high horse and believes that Pruitt and Barnes are sinless

 

[Vol865]

He had 80% of his wins vacated. And he had to cheat to even get one 10 win season

Maybe so, but Freeze can coach and has shown he's plenty capable of winning big games.

 

[GVol1966]

and find the guy that can help us reestablish Tennessee Football! That’s what it took for AL, and it took Shula as a bridge but they were able to restore AL football during his time there. I’d like to make a case for someone in the Tennessee family tree, namely a guy who played and coached here. There aren’t many, I know. I’ll throw a name out, though: Kevin Steele.

Fire away VN. I can take it. But before you do, consider what we need to undo and what it’s gonna take. He checks a lot of culture boxes. And he’s an elite Defensive guy.

Stop with the Tennessee family tree BS.
That stump of a tree called Fulmer is responsible for the latest sequel of the Trilogy called UT:dumpster fire

 

[Rickyvol77]

Maybe so, but Freeze can coach and has shown he's plenty capable of winning big games.

And losing to Memphis by 3 TDs too

 

[Vol865]

And losing to Memphis by 3 TDs too

Also beat Bama, UT, LSU, etc. Better than what we've had for coaching the last 10 years by a long shot.

 

[kcvols1]

Why do we not look at Bob Stoops as the answer?

1. He old.
2. He don’t wanna coach no more.
3. They didn’t call him Big Game Bob because of all the championships he won.
