After a lot of thought, here are my top ten reasons we need to be concerned about CDD.
1. Coaching stability. Nuff said.
2. Inability to maintain control of the team.
3. In-game decisions. Man.
4. Lack of commitment to the running game. Not having a RB coach until being forced to this year is a clear indication that CDD does not understand smash mouth football and what it takes to win at UT. Who cares how they do it elsewhere. I don't.
5. Recruiting DL.
6. Inability to work the press during trying times. When a player is asking out of LOI, he's not winning the PR war, that's for sure, as an example.
7. Two years under MH is enough to kill any coach.
8. Trying to run 4 and 5 wides against KY.
9. Losing to KY.
10. Winless against GA, FL, AL, SC, ARK, LSU.
Now, top ten reasons why we need to keep CDD:
1. Inherited the worst program in TN history. Winning anything in the past two years should be a blessing.
2. Recruiting players to come here is tough. He's recruiting and has signed some stellar players which is monumental.
3. He is a likable guy in the press room. I mean, there is a reason this is important. Take Todd Raleigh for example. Nuff said.
4. We have invested two years and soon, 3 recruiting classes. That is a lot to just cut and run.
5. 2 years under an Athletic Director who was anything but is laughable. 3 months under a real AD and look what has happened. Granted, there have been an unbelievable amount of coaching moves. In fact, he's starting over, basically. But, I do believe that Hart is working with CDD, and two minds at the top where there is a working relationship is going to be strong.
6. Running the 3-4. OK, i don't think we have the personnel to run it. But, then again, we have at least one good NT and one coming in that could play. Short term, this could be our best way to increase the depth on defense overall and allow for a solid bend-but-don't-break philosophy.
7. Handling of transfers. I think his stance is to be applauded and I am sickened that someone forced his hand on the Arnett fiasco. Let me let the players in on a little secret to how you transfer out of here and get your release. Call the secretary, make an appointment with CDD and bring a letter that states, in truth, why you want out of your LOI. Take a shower, get dressed up and show the man respect. (Don't have your brother call, don't skip the meeting and send a pussy text) Arrive on time and be polite to everyone you see along the way. Say "Yes Sir" and "No Sir" and verbally repeat what is in your letter. Do not make up stories that it's because of the "wrong crowd" or your father who you don't know is sick. Tell the truth. Show him you have thought this through and it is not somebody else making you do this. Then, he might grant you your release. If you lie about why then you will get what you deserve.
8. Two years of on-the-job training. Nobody else has this in the country. I think he'll get it. And I think that Hart will get through to him because he knows what it takes.
9. Assistant upgrades. My feeling is that every time we lose an assistant, he swings for the fences. I think that Hart is pushing him to bring in stronger personalities and less coaches who simply are pawns.
10. He really wants to be here. His will to succeed will not let him fail. He is determined. He will listen to the AD, players, fellow coaches and if he gets it right, look out. TN will win for a long time. And i think he is on the right track.
