Bray was one of the last really good QBs to come to UT. If we had a defense worth anything at all we would have been dangerous. Kid could sling it. Isn't he 4th all time in passing yards?Lemme get this straight, we paid Tyler Bray? Money? To play football for Tennessee? Refresh my memory, did he ever actually exhibit a pulse while playing football and get us a winning record at UT?
We paid him? To play? At an SEC level? Someone agreed to pay him thinking he'd play SEC level football?
It was Dooley? Millionaire, via TN.
Paging Mike Hamilton....... Mike Hamilton, TN made you millionaire missionary to Africa, didn't they? Why yes, yes they did......
QB, paid for losing seasons. Check!
Coach, $5M buyout,. Check!
AD, $1.3M buyout. Check!
One always reads in a prospectus: Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
God, I hope not.
About the same as Tee Martin, Erik Ainge, or Casey Clausen.Just curious how Bray's talent served him in the NFL?
Also, will you be okay if our QB or RBs throw up great numbers and we're still 5-7?
The NFL already has their own Farm system funded by TAXPAYERS. Sweeeetttt huh..??I really wish the NFL would form their OWN Farm League; that way we could get back to College Students Playing College Ball. What we have now is a Joke. No Loyalty, No Class, No attachment to the SCHOOL except the Jersey they wear. Hypocrisy at it's finest . The good NEW American way, BUYING SUCCESS.
What “advisor”?
We all have mixed feelings about that year.
1) The Sal Sunseri Zombie Defense Apocalypse was gut-wrenching to watch but it got Dooley out the door a little faster. And that had to happen.
2) Still, if Justin Wilcox had been incentivized to stay at DC another year, that team could have outscored about every team on the schedule except Bama.
3) Now imagine that same team if they had let Cutcliffe bring his staff from Duke. We'd have won the SEC East that year IMHO.
Cutcliffe couldn't bring full staff to UT; Decides to stay at Duke
Maybe, but we wouldn't have cared had they won a championship lolTrue, but had he had a guy like Cut who wouldn’t put up with his crap and kept his ass in check he very well could’ve had an even more successful pro career.

Now that player payments are an open, legal practice with no NCAA problems, I've been wondering if Universities should still be handing out free tickets to a college education, room, board, etc, etc all at TAXPAYER expense ..?? Granted...not every kid is getting 6 figure payments...but this stuff is just getting started. We are already seeing not just stars...but ENTIRE teams handed a regular paycheck so I gotta ask...do the taxpayers need to remain on the hook..??
Maybe we need to give some thought to CHARGING the players to use Taxpayer funded facilities to further their lucrative football careers..??
Umm, Bray had just come back from a broken thumb. I also remember him scrambling for a first down in that game. He seemed mad, so I don't think he threw it.
We were 2nd in total offense, 2nd in passing yards in the SEC (36 PPG).. offense was not the problem.
We gave up 471 yards PER GAME on defense that year, last in the SEC.. that's where the energy should be directed lol
Probably 4th best passing qb in school history & had he been half way mature & coached well probably 2nd.
