Written on Ja'Wuan James learns to lead Vols senior lineman becomes more vocal:

in response to rtrchatt:

Ja'Wuan how is that decision to flip from Bama to UT working out? Losing season after losing seasons...Undoubtedly some of your Bama buddies from Jawja have shown you all those rings....

Typical Bammer. No class at all. No wonder they displayed that trophy at a Walmart. I guess the local trailer parks were already booked.

in response to DeltaCharlie3:

Who?

He's the lineman that your favorite team has been recruiting really hard...and failed to get.

Written on 'Test of maturity' coming on how UT football players used their spring break:

in response to DukeDeLuca2:

Who's our coach this week? I lose track.

I bet you forget a lot of things. Of course, the list of things you never knew in the first place is very long.

Written on With spring break looming, UT coaches say much work still to be done:

Commited to Indiana...then committed to LSU...then went to Notre Dame and quit there because of competition. No thanks.

Written on Tennessee football scholarship roster projected to climb to 83 players in fall:

in response to SevenT:

Joker was fired last year...Joker is on the staff at Florida.....Mark Stoops is Kentucky's Coach...SHEESH

McFly

Sounds like KY doesn't stand behind their coaches then. Derp.

Written on Tennessee football scholarship roster projected to climb to 83 players in fall:

in response to SevenT:

Jones is going to win with players recruited by Dooley.

Just shows that UT does not stand behind their coaches. Jones will fall by the axe just like Fulmer and Dooley.

Enough Said

The butt hurt is strong in this one.

Written on Tennessee opens spring football with rapid adjustment to Butch Jones' style:

in response to SevenT:

Time for Dooley Part II.

I wonder what the Vegas line is for the number of seasons Davis will have until he is fired?

Your screen name must reflect your IQ.

Written on Robert Gillespie of West Virginia leading candidate for RB coach :

in response to rtrchatt:

Win 5/6 games a yr and the only kids you can "pull" are the ones the big boys recuit as plan D. Makes no difference who is making the pitch. If you are not winning on the field, you
are not winning many recruiting battles in Jan/Feb.

Parole Tide!

Written on Robert Gillespie of West Virginia leading candidate for RB coach :

I don't car where he is from. I only care if he does a good job as a coach and as a recruiter.

Written on In welcome letter, Butch Jones says parents of UT players can call anytime:

in response to 9willbesofine:

This comment may be inappropriate. Reveal this comment.

Loyalty, Commitment, Family, Honesty, Accountability, Focus, Persistence = 3 star football players

Lyle Jones = 3 star coach

ut = 3 star program

Losing to that 3* coach is going to hurt you a lot isn't it?

Written on John Adams: CAK QB Charlie High still thinking big despite recruiting rejections :

in response to volfan1202:

Hey Butch Jones, please do not recruit this very talented local young QB.

Please keep reaching for the stars and get us some more 2 star players like the volleyball playing tight end JUCO you just snagged out of California that has a whopping record of 1 touchdown.

Heck, if you recruit really hard, you might be able to get us a one star chess champion from podunk Idaho.

I'll give you a big hint: GRUDEN isn't coming!

Written on John Adams among 3 selected for induction into Tennessee Sports Writers Hall of Fame :

I guess its true...everyone does get a trophy these days.

Written on Terry Fair 'nervous, but extremely excited' to join Butch Jones' support staff:

in response to rtrchatt:

Bama does not have a single coach with ties to the program. Has no bearing, you can either coach and develop players or you cannot. Roll Tide

Golden Domes vs Mobile Homes.

Written on Butch Jones filling out staff with graduate assistants:

in response to albert63:

First, who?

Typical Gator. That's all you've got.

Written on 9-win season, top 15 recruiting class building Vanderbilt's optimism for 2013:

in response to rtrchatt:

What kind of "luck" does rocky flop need to win 6 in 2013? All kinds.......

Golden Dome vs. Mobile Home.

Written on Tennessee football in 2012: Derek Dooley is at a loss; Butch Jones focuses on future :

in response to CCLC:

There was a lot of chest bumping and laughing when uT landed DaRick in a two for one deal ..... stealing a prized recruit. Meanwhile Georgia landed the best player out of Memphis that went on to a great career Between the Hedges. No one laughing now.
just sayin'
there were no police foot stomped while posting this blog.
still sayin'

No one does LESS with more talent than Mark Right.

Written on Vols' Butch Jones disputes talk of riding on Brian Kelly's successes:

in response to SevenT:

The question on everyone's mind....

Is Butch Jones an upgrade over Dooley?

A better question....why does Kentucky pretend to field a football team every year?

Written on Vanderbilt expects a Tyler Bray-like QB from N.C. State in Music City Bowl:

For the past 2 years Vanderbilt still has not beaten even one team with a record above .500. I guess this game is their big chance.

Written on USC gave Lane Kiffin loan for house, but there's a catch:

in response to ProfessionalHandicapper:

I wish Kiffin well. He did like most Americans took a better job for more pay and now lives in a dream home on the beach. Employers have no loyalty so why all the hate for Kiffin? The man has done well for himself. I really doubt $500,000 will wipe out his $4 million per year salary although I'm sure there are some hoping so. Wish bad Karma receive bad Karma.

You should have a lot of bad karma then based upon your past posting history.

Written on Darin Hinshaw will be QB coach at Cincinnati :

in response to Colts_VolFan:

Unfortunately I think he gets his full buy out no matter what.

According to this article only Dooley and Chaney have guaranteed buyouts:

Written on Tee Martin turns down Tennessee homecoming, will stay at Southern Cal :

Time to move on. No one should fault him for sticking to a committment.

Written on Tennessee's coach search turns to Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy :

in response to ArVol:

Petrino will never be cheaper than he is now. To my knowledge he has never been in trouble with the NCAA for rules violations.
With UT's resources and a good recruiting coordinator it would be on like donkey kong.

Petrino has allegedly been hired by Idaho:

http://espn.go.com/college-football/s...

Written on New York City could be nexus of Tennessee's coaching search for next few days :

I hope not. I heard an interview about recruits recently and most of them didn't even know who Golden was when his name was mentioned.

Written on UT coaching roundup: Kentucky's hiring of Mark Stoops could be relevant :

in response to luke255#536431:

What about Jim Tressel??? We should have hired him the day his year suspension was up. Either him or Petrino the only PROVEN coaches that we could count on to get the vols back!! FYI anyone who has used their brain or used google would know Gruden signed a new contract this year with ESPN, not a proven college coach and still no idea why people are drooling over something that is NEVER going to happen.

Tressell has a show cause until 2017. As school that just got its probation extended by 2 years like UT just did and a school that had to fire its baskeball coach for lying to the NCAA needs no part of him.

Written on Evan Woodbery: Nine possible candidates for UT's coaching search :

Butch Jones is one of the few coaches that Dooley beat. No thanks.

Written on Mark Wiedmer: Derek Dooley saga continues, though sequel not likely:

in response to ProfessionalHandicapper:

I told you people 3 weeks ago Vandy would be favored in this game. The Vegas Line today is Vandy -4 over UT. I can't ever remember Vandy opening as the favorite in this game. What more needs to be said about the depths this program has fallen.

Let us know when Vandy beats a team with a winning record. They didn't last year and the have not done it this year. If they beat TN they still won't. If not for scheduling powerhouses like Elon, Presbyterian or Massachusetts they wouldn't have winning seasons.

Written on Vols' Thomas' 'flow' pointing to NFL:

in response to ProfessionalHandicapper:

Quit crying and get tougher skin. Being a vandy fan we have listened to UT junk for years. Now we can talk a little smack UT fans are weak. Start wiining if you wanna shut up the other fans, until then take your medicine like the rest of us. Bottom Dwellers..

Let us know when Vandy beats a team with a winning record. DERP!

Written on John Adams: No change too extreme on defense :

in response to UTistheOLEMISSoftheEAST:

Remember Joe....you're dealing with ut fans here. Not the brightest bunch of football fans on the planet.

Check your mirror if you want to see the dimmest of football fans.

Written on Tennessee's offense rescues defense against Troy, 55-48 :

in response to Wauconda_Vol:

Where in the world do we go from here?

Down.

Written on 5 Big Things against Troy:

in response to vq4nfo:

5th toughest schedule in the nation and we have so called fans that complain that we went 0-5 in the SEC games. Get used to it, Tennessee does not produce quality football players like Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Texas and California. It takes a lot to get guys to commit to the downtown campus of UT. Just visit the other SEC team campuses that beat UT this year.

I can think of a few coaches who could get those better commits. The one UT has now can't.

Written on Derek Dooley focused on improving defense, not blame:

in response to oldvoltimer62:

Dooley was qouted the other day (Doug Mathews)that his focus was entirely on the offense,not the defense.Now he is just trying to save a failing job.I think he should be focusing on his next job because I feel this one is coming to a screeching halt.

Correct.

Written on Justin Hunter says no hard feelings following Derek Dooley's criticism :

He probably really said "He's my coach (...for now...).

Written on Mark Wiedmer: Vols stuck in absurd situation:

in response to VolzsFan:

Clawson is doing well as a head coach in the MAC. Do not think he wants to be a coordinator.

Calling out Bray has nothing to do with Chaney.

Doing well? Clawson's record at Bowling Green is 19-26. Dooley might be a good fit there.

Written on John Adams: Too late to get tough with Tyler Bray :

in response to notfunanymore:

Once again, John Adams is 100% correct. Just think, UT has one more year of Bray's antics and Dooley.

I wouldn't be so sure that Dooley has another year.

Written on John Adams: If UT replaces Derek Dooley, it better think big :

in response to DeltaCharlie3:

Way too early for this new coach nonsense. Dooley needs more than 3 years to clean up the mess he inherited.

Keep Dooley!!!!

I love it when Gators lose. They cry the best crocodile tears.

Written on Mark Wiedmer: Are Auburn or UT desperate enough to hire Petrino?:

in response to murrayvol:

He'll be back in the SEC next year but it won't be in Knoxville.

Kentucky would hire him just like the hired Calipari.

Written on Cuonzo Martin: 'I like where we're headed':

in response to BrassMonkey:

I hope so. That MTSU loss was beyond embarassing. Thank God he did not spend the entire summer in China this year and actually looked after his work responsibilities. Time will tell, but I think he is in over his head.

He took a team that was supposed to finish at the bottom of the SEC and got them to a tie for 2nd and all you can do is be an internet back sniper.

Written on Vanderbilt has first home sellout in four years:

in response to VolzsFan:

Tenn will lose in Nashville

No way! TN assistant coaches have better looking wives.

Written on Injury-plagued Kentucky playing 26 freshmen:

in response to UkJarhead:

Thats all you got huh? We just played the toughest schedule in the country and gained valuable experience from guys that were in high school last year. You guys suck with Juniors and Seniors. Come on Thanksgiving.

I can see how a KY fan might think that Western Ky and Kent State are tough.

Written on Derek Dooley sees 'encouraging signs' on defense:

Clawfense Clawfense Clawfense Clawfense.

Written on Adding insult: Georgia's Christian Robinson says house he shares with QB Aaron Murray egged, rolled after loss:

in response to collegegrovebilly:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

And you have no choice but to show your true lack of class. What happened to those players cannot be excused.

Written on SCarolina, Florida, WVU move into top 5 of AP poll:

in response to DeltaCharlie3:

Florida-Bama in SECCG, as usual. And don't be shocked if LSU beats SC next weekend.

Y'all are still in denial about how good Florida is. Look at Texas A&M and that qb of theirs. UF shut him down completely in the 2nd half.

This top 5 ranking should be another dose of reality for y'all, as if the domination you witnessed in Knoxville wasn't enough.

Nope. Florida has 3 more losses coming. They have been barely getting by all year.

Written on David Climer: Derek Dooley may see own fate in treatment of Pat Summitt:

in response to collegegrovebilly:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

Dumpster fire is a pretty accurate description of the mess left behind by Fulmer's neglect and Kiffin's abandonment.

Written on Vandy coach: Had 'honest talk' about poor start:

Franklin obviously needs to hire new assistants with better looking wives.

Written on Poll: What's your feeling about the Vols after the Georgia game?:

in response to DeltaCharlie3:

I feel like Dooley and Sunseri need contract extensions.

Will you feel the same when Florida loses to LSU, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida State?

Written on John Adams: Vols will keep it respectable between the hedges :

in response to DeltaCharlie3:

Gators pulling for UT. Hope ol' orange pants can manage to have this team somewhat prepared. Hoping, but not putting any bills on it.

Won't matter. Florida loses to Georgia, SC, LSU and Fla State this year.

Written on Small size a big problem for struggling Vandy:

in response to Its_Goooood:

Hey handicrapper I'll take the under on Vandy winning 4 games.

They are working hard for their usual 2-10 record.

Written on Derrick Brodus more concerned about scoring points than breaking barriers :

in response to volunteerintexas:

"Coach Gruden, a Mr. Hart from Tennessee on line one... Shall I patch him through, sir?...?

Gruden won't be taking that call. He isn't interested in the job.
