forget the press conference, best thing I've heard is from the UR backup QB who said that Clawson is standoffish with players so he can maintain discipline and expects perfection from his QB.

Very Herman Boone-ish if you will. "you make sure they remember - forever - the night they played the Titans!"

You like these guys, right, BPV?

All three seem like great hires. New blood. Great communicators. Excellent attitudes. Well-versed across offensive schemes.

I like them. I'm not as worked up over press conference coach-speak as I am what their former players say they're about. Sounds like Clawson will offset CPF's lack of discipline and accountability and we need that badly. That alone makes is a great hire by CPF. Hiring strength that offsets his own weakness has not been his MO in the past.

This is a really exciting time in UT football. For the first time in a while...a long while, we're going to see fresh faces on the sidelines with fresh ideas for the future. Take note you guys... this may never happen again. I've been watching since I was a kid and it's really the first time I can remember so many new faces at once.

Good discipline-oriented coaches do help CPF, but when it comes from the players side (e.g. Al Wilson) that's what really makes the Vols lethal. Eric Berry may be that guy next season eventhough he's just a sophomore. We can't wait for his senior year for him to take a leadership role. He may decide to go to the league before then.

I don't really think it matters where it comes from, just that it does.

Absolutely true! Biggest turnover in staff and offensive philosophy since Majors that I can remember.

It is a new era, indeed!

From Scotts Bio: A three-year starter at tight end while playing at Hampton, Scott earned All-America honors following his senior season.

...tight end experience and has been successfully coaching WRs for a while...I'll take that

new era's a bit strong, given that we still have CPF and Chavis. Expecting drastic change is still probably somewhat of a stretch. Changes will likely we subtle, but positive and we will hopefully lose some of our situational predictability.

Just imagine the ideal person you'd want to have in the living room with talented offensive recruits... and that's what I heard.:)

Same here. Probably the biggest change in the UT program since Majors was hired more than 30 years ago.

Kudos to Fulmer for understanding it was needed to get UT football back to the top. These guys may be the best 'recruits' he's had since he signed Peyton Manning.

I see why CPF hired Dave Clawson.....

CDC-Coach David Cutcliffe
CDC-Coach Dave Clawson

He has a nametag somewhere that says CDC that he didn't want to change.

That to me has been our biggest issue and it is exactly what has changed most. These guys are going to open our offense up and in directions that have the potential to make us the least predictable in the SEC.

If that happens, we will have gone from the most to the least predictable in this round of hiring.

I like the on-the-field changes as well as the off the field changes.

It also sounds like these three guys will work extremely well together... and they are involved in hiring the TE coach. I beleive Fulmer will give them the freedom so many want them to have.

Expecting Fulmer to change that drastically is just tough to see. He's entrenched in who he is, what he believes and it has been successful in the past. The easy part was stepping out of his cast in the offseason. When the helmets are strapped on, it's an entirely different beast. 3rd and 7 with a 3 point lead in the 4th quarter is still 3rd and 7.......
