I think he is prolly bored with us not holding up our end of the bargain and would like to see us get better enough to where beating us is relevant again.
Thats the way I feel. I grew up on sone great Tennessee Florida games. Its not the same thinking going into games the last like 15 years when I expect a gator win.
Tennessee has always been a team ive like since I was a boy. I just like the gators better after going to school there.
Plus as ive said before you guys are the funnest people on the web in a good way.
I catch some flak here but I would say most are very cool as I am not here to insult or brag and try to provide insight or my prospective of the team.
I must say he(gator) is bring up an area on the with some question marks. Maybe he did it as a kind of a "ha ha" but it doesnt seem to be.
As for the gators, the offnesive side of the ball will be good. Jones passed pretty well last year. Coach seems to always have a pretty good offensive team. Last years WRs and back up TEs played very well with out pitts.
On defense they need to get it together. They had a decent pass rush and DBs but I thought the lbers were okay at best. I didnt think the coach called a good game some games either.
Mullen did some pretty good stuff with a team made up of a lot of the past coaches players. Now lets see ehat he does with his own.
Often we see coaches actually have better success early then kind of bomb with there own players.
See how it goes.
I point out when corn bread was hired, offensive head coaches with good proven offense and a history of players in nfl at least draft are going to get the best of the talent. Even if you hire the next best offensive mind ever and he kills it, he will be gone in a year or 2. Defense comes to winning teams. Easier to look good up by 20 cause the offense is on fire and the dline can pass rush.
I think this coach for Tennessee is the best hire thet have made in a while and the fans should be happy if he can get the team to winning 9-10 games a year and hope for a special year. The recruit competition is a 1000% harder then the mid 90s with almost every border states schools much better. Clemson, South Carolina, all the north carolina and Virginia schools, Georgia was Georgia but bama wasnt powerhouse nor was any of the western schools. Kentucky sucked. That whole area east of Tennessee they were king. They did well in other sec states.
Tennessee needs some years in the top 20 every week to get the really good elite players coming back to knoxville.
