1. I’m all about winning. I’m not a big rah rah guy. But, I do understand what good football is and what type of athletes it takes to win in this conference. I, of course, want to graduate good citizens that do well in the classroom. But, I know that the main yardstick that I will be judged by is wins and championships. And, that’s the way that it should be.

2. I am not necessarily married to any particular offensive or defensive system. I don’t believe that you should try to mold your players to systems but the other way around. I plan to hire coordinators and assistants that share that philosophy and can teach multiple schemes.

3. I hope to never insult your intelligence. I am familiar
with the history of Tennessee football. It has been done here and can be done again. We have everything that we need to be successful. You are an intelligent fan base. You know what good football looks like. I hope I will never pee on your shoes and tell you that it’s raining.

Now, I will take any and all questions.

(Please name some things you would want to hear. Thanks)

Not sure really what I want to hear but I never want to hear the words resiliency and individuals again.

I haven't been in a position like this since I was at Tampa Bay, but I have to tell you, I missed it. I'm a coach, this is what I do and why not come back to the place that gave me my first chance and the place I hold dear to my heart. I met the love of my life here and Tennessee will always be great to me. Now its time to get to work making this place special again. Lets Go Vols!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the honor to be the head football coach of the Tennessee Volunteers. That's all for now, got to go see some recruits.

I've come here to win championships. Playing here back in the 90s I know how great this program can be. I'm all vol and I'm so proud they retired my 16 Jersey here.

First thing is take away all the orange. No orange uni's, no orange helmets, no orange logos, no orange buildings, no orange stadium. Repaint everything crimson. Give them crimson uniforms, paint the locker room crimson and so on. Rename the team the "alabama whipping boys". You call them the alabama whipping boys over Butch's megaphone every chance you get. The media must use the term alabama whipping boys or get cut off. You tell them they are not allowed to call themselves Tennessee, because Tennessee is NOT alabama's whipping boys. You let them know they are going to get so pissed off when they see crimson they will want to break a chair over their head, because that's the way I feel. You tell them they will have to EARN the orange back, and eventually, if they get the job done, they can take pride in calling themselves Tennessee again, but not until they get the job done!

Are you channeling Pat Summitt?
This very much sounds like something that she would do, and kind of did do at times.
She was taken from us way too soon. :cray:

Lol.
Of course the odds of him changing his mind, even to be an assistant coach, are astronomical.
But, if he did, the dept stores would have a major run on underwear in the state of Tennessee.

After Butch, words are empty to me. I just want someone to get up there and say it's time to get to work, end of press conference. Results on the field will speak for itself. No more cliches, catch phrases, corporate buzzwords. Just win baby.
