Vols Practice Thread #10

[VolForLife83]

I don't think there's any question that there's a sense of urgency....

That does not mean panic mind you...

No panic, just wondering how long CJP keeps WF around

Eh. I didn't think it was a good look either. But I don't think it's necessarily an indictment on friend either...

It's entering week 2...

Probably just an attention getter.

We see him take over at some point later on... Then we can talk about that.

Ferrara suggested it was planned as a result from scrimmage. Between the OL being poor last year, constantly rotating position and freshmen, they just were the most in need from Monday's scrimmage.
That it was neither a surprise or an indictment.

I'd buy that.

 

[RazzBury]

Lol what exactly does it tell?

Not a thing. Chaney doesn't have a position to coach. As "just" OC, he has to go somewhere. Nobody has complained about it until now. Offensive line is our weakest position (which we already knew), so if he has to double down somewhere, that seems like the most logical spot.

Also, he may have been working with the OL this whole time. Just because he's not doing it during the open periods doesn't mean it's not happening.

 

[chargervol]

I'd buy that.

I can also but I wouldn't debate about it because idk. Plus several in here have an unnatural level of hate ever since they whipped themselves into a frenzy claiming he would become the OC.

Being wrong twice doesn't make them right but apparently it makes them twice as mad😂

Lol

It must have really sucked to be Will Friend today.

 

[KeyVol14]

Will friend it's your job to coach what your payed for

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Lol what exactly does it tell?

That apparently he is coaching.... like coaches are supposed to do.... what does it mean when Pruitt works with the DBs.... that Ansley sucks? Lol these guys are killing me! Good point Pulaski

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Guess Pruitt shouldn’t touch the DBs you know since Ansley is supposed to be doing that since it is his responsibility.....

That settles it...later rednecks!

 

[Booker512]

We should just go somewhere that's had consistent O line play the past 3-4 years and snag their coach. NC State has had some good lines, Iowa always has a stout O line packed with big heavies, Mizzou has had some good O lines....

Getting very frustrating to do the O line guessing game every single year. Especially looking at the tradition of O lines Tennessee has had 🙄

 

[NEVolFan]

Everyone knows it takes 3-5 years to learn Will Friend’s complex blocking regimen

Not true...Richmond picked it up right from the git go.

 

[CaliVol2009]

I'd buy that.

For a dollar?

 

[I_Bleed_Orange77]

Yeah, it's sort of interesting that we can be so concerned - and talk at length about - Smiths condition, but we aren't allowed to mention Chaney's.

His condition? He's fat, he doesn't have blood clots. I've never seen so many grown men worried about the weight of another grown man. Dude likes buffets, why do you care so much? It's his life.

 

[tnvols72]

Will Friend should have been let go after last year. He is the weak link.

 

[rgvol]

Will Friend isn't going anywhere...... Football isn't for a lot of the people that post here. All the coach's are doing is trying to find the best 5 guys. Damn guys relax and enjoy it's football time.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

The fact that UGA didn't win vs. Bama in the National Title game or the SEC title game isn't on Pittman. His line did what they needed to do. GA folded in other areas of the game.

But a Championship CAN be won without Pittman?

 

[PineyBluff Vol]

Now you're talkin!!!

 

[PineyBluff Vol]

I’ll say it...

It’s obvious some guys still don’t know how to practice.

Perfect Practice=Perfect Results.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Not true...Richmond picked it up right from the git go.

No

 

[Roustabout]

Boy, so many people are stretching Chaney going off on the OLine into a Will Friend can't coach scenario. Many a time I've seen a coordinator or a head coach go off on a group and it has nothing to do with the assistant.

Look at last year and Pruitt with the DBs. Terry Fair still here? Nope.

Oh Lawdz. Lofl. I usually finish reading the new posts in a thread before I comment, but this was a game changer. Well done.

While I'm here I might as well go ahead and ask...why you and butchna hate Pittman so much?
