I agree. We tried the mouthy and cocky young coach. Now back to our roots! This coach represents what our program is about. Class and class can win against the good teams in the country. Wait and see.
SEC put together, practically, and you see what that gets them in football. I like Dooley--but you don't win football games in the SEC by being classy, necessarily: this is a hard-nosed business in which recruiting is paramount, and we simply have to get the players to compete. He did a good job of holding the class together, but we've got to try and build some momentum on the field and get an even better class next year.
I'm sure I'll get bashed for this post, but here goes. Today I am just proud to be a Vol. I haven't felt proud to be a Vol since THE YEAR before Fulmer left. I bleed orange, but I mean really proud deep down inside. It feels really good to wear orange and white again. The pride and dignity we had all grown accustomed to is back in the UT family. I bet UT clothing sales skyrocket after today! There's something about being successful with a touch of class you know.
Spot on post. :good!:I personally believe you can play against and beat the Big Boys w/o playing dirty. DD is a class guy but you are mistaken if you think he will be a push over like Fulmer was. If you take a hard look at his staff, that speaks volumes. He most likely could have brought all his staff from LT here, or hired all family and friends like Kiffin did, but no he brought coaches in young and old alike and from all across the country. He knows what he is doing, just listen to him when he speaks. He is very smart, organized, and knows the game inside and out. Just wait until spring ball arrives, and you will see his intensity. You will see a totally different side of him, than you have seen thus far interacting with the media. The guy is intense, disciplined and all about winning. Believe me when I say you will see a lot of Nick Saban in him. And that alone should excite all Vol fans, because we all know that guy is a winner.
