Tee coming home...

[Roustabout]

In hind sight, who did he recruit that’s really any good? Which players that are on the roster right now that would start for Bama, uga, or any of the top sec schools?

I was never all that impressed. Glad to have any remnant if Butch gone.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Hurd did. But are you saying his college career at UT was a bust because he quit? Stats say otherwise.

Tee never said he was a “bust”. He said he was “soft”. Quitting on your team the middle of the year is “soft” in my book.

 

[utvolpj]

My son found this a couple weeks ago. He'll be happy

The guy has always been a troll. Hopefully people look at the username before responding

Yea, I've asked him/her twice ..."but what? "No answer.

Seeing a lot of negative talk about things most of us know nothing about. In life Circumstances change, people change, life situations dictate making decisions that seem right, but may not fit your current life. With that said I believe the old saying. “SPEAK ON EVIL OF A FELLOW VOLUNTEERS.” We are getting our tails handed to us by everyone in the conference, we aren’t making any good impressions on the national stage. Everybody in the conference is bashing us, so let’s all pull together and pull apart the other guys and gals. They are the competition, not the other orange clad guy!

 

[Orange to the Bay]

Why in the world was this announced at such an odd time?

Haha. I wondered the same thing, but we were both up then! So it's all good.

 

[Kinglberry]

Agreed, but if Pruitt is sucessful, Bama may come calling, and if he bolts for home, we have Tee ready to take over as HC.... (all speculation of course).

Perhaps, most likely, they will go for Dabo, Fisher or someone else before him, throw big money their way. Timing of Saban retirement or moving on to NFL contingent. Hopefully, Tennessee, if Pruitt is successful, won't let it be a money issue. Pruitt may believe, or learn, that he'd rather enjoy his own legacy vs living under saban's.

Who knows the future, but, IMHO, Tee is thought of, and thinks of himself, as way more than he is, or has been.

 

[photovol]

Does this mean David Johnson is leaving for Allbarn?

 

[865Original]

If Pruitt wants Tee then that's fine with me.

I hate to lose Coach YAC because he's been the best WR coach we've had in many years and the kids love him.

If Tee is made the new WR coach and he does as well or better than Coach YAC Johnson then we lost nothing if the players love Tee too.

We all know that USC recruits for itself especially out West.

If Tee comes in and recruits as well as he's done for USC then this will be a Win for us.

I also have to wonder how long Tee will stay at UT because if he's a 1 year guy then that hurts our recruiting and coaching consistency and that's not a good thing.

We're far below the alaBummer level so we can't lose coaches every year like saTan does and just keep chugging along.

We need several years of coaching consistency to get us built back up to aaBubba level first.

VFL...GBO!!!

Glass Half Empty Type of guy or nah?

 

[RockyTopSC]

You don’t.

I’m sure Chaney is OC/QB coach

Tee will be WR coach Id guess especially if Johnson is in talks with Auburn.

WR/CO-OC/assit. HC and I think we will find out in the future he was in town yesterday to talk to Jennings

 

[BearCat204]

The first big mistake of the Pruitt era. Tee had his chance to come here in 2012. The biggest reason was to raise his then young son and be in his life...and coach football at his alma mater....and make great money. He choose against being Dad. That tells us the type of man he is. Don't need a bad person and a fired average coach.

Completely reasonable take [blue font]

 

[volunteerfan]

I've seen so much hate and it's really unbelievable to me... Guess BVS is a real thing. Be adults people. Let's not be the FL, AL, and GA's of the SEC.

There’s more to it than bvs with some of the hate being spewed towards Tee

 

[butchna]

Quite frankly, I don't think CJP should have ever let Robert Gillespie go. The man was a monster recruiter and our running backs were top notch.

I’ve never really seen where running backs are coached up or down. They’re either talented or not and their production is generally tied into scheme and blocking. Also never saw the “monster recruiter” aspect. TBF, I never saw that with Graham in his short stint. UGA’s RB’s coach and McClendon before he took over as SC’s OC and Eddie Gran fit that bill. Gillespie was a good hire and a good fit. We didn’t suffer from him moving on though.

 

[Bucket18]

Because there was drama at all his other coaching stops? Gtfoh with the bs

He is wasting your effort baiting you to comment.

 

[butchna]

lol

“We’re going to go back to throwing them through a tire!”

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Ummm I’m happy to have Tee just so can show recruits that NC ring and say “let’s get another”

 

[butchna]

Unless I missed it I don’t think CJP wanted him to leave.

You missed it. Gillespie didn’t leave of his own volition.

 

[VolFan..But]

please don't take it...............

Bait?? Nope. Just an observation.

 

[VolFan..But]

Nope. Tee was smart to avoid Butch / Dooely, et al. before wasn't the right time for him to come back. It wasn't his fault TN had bad HC's before now.

If going to LA and coaching other kids and putting your career ahead of your own son is something you admire, so be it. But his career looks about the same as it did in 2012. Big mistake. I suppose raising his son is less important in your eyes

Sometimes things are gray and not black or white
Consider this scenerio. Maybe his wife had no desire to come to Tennessee & maybe his wife didn't want to be in the same town as Tees ex baby mamma
Just an alternate scenerio

That old saying makes absolutely no sense.

 

[volunteerfan]

I was just saying the only way this wouldnt be a good hire is if we lost someone amazing like Niedemeyer. That isn't happening though so... what you getting at?

As an analyst? It’s funny how some people didn’t question Helton being waaaaay overpaid to be oc when he probably never called plays in his life and now you’re saying tee Martin should come in as an analyst? Nah homie, tee has earned his place on this staff and if y’all did more than go on word of mouth you’d see he didn’t do too bad as the oc at usc. 2016 and 17 were pretty good

 

[TAF]

Yes but no one would stop me from raising my kids.

The fact that you may have procreated bothers me...

Wouldn't it be a hoot if Dabo, Jimbo and Pruitt all would say no?

Obeekaybee. Just a few weeks ago.

Technically, it's still after Schiano Sunday, and always will be.
