UT hires former VT defensive backs coach Derek Jones

[volfanhill]

What if he ends up worse than Willie?

Thems the brakes

None of us on here really have any expert level to evaluate these guys. I trust the guys making millions to do what they thinks best. And if that doesn't work we will replace those guys

 

[SpookyAction]

I'm very optimistic the defense will improve overall.

 

[ftsandersvol]

As long as he doesn’t tell our DBs, “Whatever you do, don’t go for the ball.”

What if he ends up worse than Willie?

What if he ends up worse than Willie?

What if Knowles end up worse than Banks...

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

What if Knowles end up worse than Banks...

That would suck big time

 

[VolRage]

What if Knowles end up worse than Banks...

Well, Knowles track record is easy to look up and it’s far better than Banks so I’ll go with a proven commodity and say that’s not going to happen.

 

[Volinnooga]

Does he know any DTs?

 

[Jackcrevol]

As long as he doesn’t tell our DBs, “Whatever you do, go for the ball, but miss every tackle, angle, blow every coverage, and most of all....be as predictable as possible!'

[butchna]

 

[Volador]

Well, they both sucked, so hard to tell.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Does he know any DTs?

Yeah because we don’t have any

I didn't think Hunter was an upgrade over Martinez. This guy definitely isn't.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Was really excited by Hunter…but not from any KNOWLEDGE. This a good recruiter and testament to Knowles experience and contacts. Now what am I going to do with all this lighter fluid?

Save it for traditional heup special stinker game in 26.

 

[EtowahVol]

I read his name, and it didn't say 'Willie Martinez.'

Hired!

You beat me to it. Hope they have NEVER crossed paths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take it to Nashville. In the wee hours, use it to spell “KYBOS” in the Vanderbilt lawn. Light it up.

 

[NIL>KidsCollegeFund]

What if Knowles end up worse than Banks...

Then Heup is done

 

[kcvols1]

Who was the Daddy and who was the Momma?

All Butches are bottoms.

 

[swampfoxfan]

Why was he fired at VA tech?

 

[UTblood4life]

Who was the Daddy and who was the Momma?

Lyle put the "brick" in derek

 

[Swiftybaby]

Wow buddy continue to beat that dead horse

Are you on the spectrum and have a hard time understand social cues?

 

[NighthawkVol]

Why was he fired at VA tech?

Because the head coach was fired.

 

[NighthawkVol]

I didn't think Hunter was an upgrade over Martinez. This guy definitely isn't.

Well, shoot. You'd definitely know who's best guy to coach our CBs in the Jim Knowles system better than Jim Knowles, so now I'm sad.

 

[Vol-e-ball]

Seems like a solid hire with a TON of ties to Tennessee and the South in general, so should recruit decently.

Gonna build that secondary "Brick by Brick." Gonna see the "need" for bigger slower LBs & DBs.
