Well y'all

[EastTNVol6240]

I liked it guys. No bearing around the bush and no BS. It’s what we need. No more champions of life speeches after we get our eyeballs beat in.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Seems like a nice guy.

Wants a big, strong, fast, aggressive team. Groundbreaking, I don’t believe anyone has ever considered that when building a football team.

That said, I don’t need a Steve Spurrier, or a Jimmy Johnson level of wit.

JUST WIN BABY!!

 

[ru4real-really?]

You missed the point

sorry, but I missed it too

what was the point you were making?

 

[IPleadInsanity]

The end of "coach speak" as we know it!

 

[overseasorange2]

It looks like we got ourselves a football coach cause he sure as hell ain't no podium guy!!!!

We had that with the lawyer (DD):mf_surrender:

"Oh yeah, man! Tennessee has a new coach! He is not just a talking head! He is a players' coach! He tells it like it is! We're ready to DOMINATE! I am firmly on the __________________ bandwagon! Let's go Coach ___________________!"

* fill in with choice A, B, C, or D.
A - Kiffin
B - Dooley
C - Jones
D - Pruitt

I will say one thing, and I think it was mentioned in another thread... I think papa Pruitt may have taken him home and took the belt to him again after putting it out there in the presser like that. He did not seem to thrilled at that. Of course he could just have that sort of face. Either way....welcome the whole family to Tennessee.

I will give you that (I get being jaded after the 4th presser of this likeness in 8 years)...the SEC is not won at the presser. Hoping his credentials in combo with his intangibles works out for us as a great hire.

I believe it will

So we trade in Butch's 'sayin's' for Pruitt's 'a'ight'...I'm sorry but words, grammar, and cognitive thought are important....

 

[Otis07]

he seems to be a champion of life

Good thing you don’t have his ACT scores. If you want a good speaker with stupid slogans then follow butch to podunk U. We need a straight shooting no BS coach. I think we got that. If you want good sounding brick and life champion speeches, then get outta here.

"Ahh 'Ight ...

Really like what I hear but I'll go ahead and say it. I'm sure there were more than a few schools out there who didn't look at the guy because they were put off by the country boy dialect. Hey, the double negatives don't bother me. We may have struck gold. I'm an optimist though…

Eloquence does not equal intelligence.

Derek Dooley has a great education and makes very good use of the English language. Wonder if he would be interested in being a head football coach?
