Written on John Adams: Losing Jay Graham is more than just losing a running backs coach:

And we offered Graham just as much. Move on and hire a great addition to the staff.

Written on Butch Jones gave raspy address to Big Orange TipOff Club:

in response to THEKIDWISCONSIN:

Coach Jones is so anti-Dooley...LOVE IT!

I think you meant he is so NON-Dooley. And I love it, too!

Written on John Adams: No Michael Dyer, even if UT in dire need:

Ole Miss will take him. They never turn down a running back and somehow keep talking them into coming there... even though they have about fifteen.

Written on Updated odds for all of Tennessee's football targets:

Pathetic article. Why even write it?

Written on Tennessee, Butch Jones plan post-Signing Day celebrations across the state :

Dad gum I like what Jones is doing so far.

GO VOLS!!

Written on Marsalis Teague added to NFLPA Collegiate Bowl :

in response to alfrizzle097:

The fact that UT NEEDED him on the field was proof of their lack of talent at that position. Would love to see him succeed, but I can promise you it won't be as a DB

You're right unfortunately. I lost track of how many time Teague got burned as a DB. And Lathers looked slow and out of position especially in the last two games. Good luck to them.

Written on Tennessee official confirms Omari Phillips, Trent Taylor and Deion Bonner not part of football team :

in response to Ironcity:

These guys wont be the last ones to go. Out with the old and in with the new. happens every January.

Especially after the new lifting and conditioning starts. Only the strong (and the Orange) will survive.

Written on Tennessee official confirms Omari Phillips, Trent Taylor and Deion Bonner not part of football team :

Trent Taylor sure was a silent bust. Anyone know why he didn't pan out?

Written on Tennessee official confirms Omari Phillips, Trent Taylor and Deion Bonner not part of football team :

Sounds like all good news to me as well. The problem guys are gone and couldn't care less about Brissett.

Written on Derek Dooley finds words for Twitter :

Can't believe this article was even posted. Dooley needs to give Twitter a rest.

Written on UT's Graham 'rehired' quickly by Jones:

Go get Derrick Green and Marquez North so we can put a giant bow on this recruiting class in February.

GO VOLS!!

Written on John Adams: Time for 'serious' changes at Tennessee :

Wow. Bring it, Adams!

GO VOLS!!

Written on Central Michigan focus for Butch Jones' coaching staff at Tennessee :

Feels like a very refreshing change. This staff has a lot of work to do, but I think we are going to see a different brand of football for Tennessee next season. Just go get those recruits!

Written on John Adams: Avoiding Oregon would be worse than losing to it:

Any team... anywhere.

GO VOLS!!

Written on Report: Tyler Bray to enter the NFL draft :

in response to volaholic45:

I will remember him as a good QB who could have been great if he had not been such a drama queen. If he thinks he's ready to move on, I am too. Good luck.

Good post. Pretty much sums up my thoughts.

Written on Butch Jones says Cordarrelle Patterson 'definitely going to the NFL' :

in response to straightshooter:

He may make it in the NFL but never will be great. Is too undisciplined in running his routes. Has great raw talent but I doubt it will ever be fully realized. Good luck to him, he still was a positive on the team.

Disagree. Patterson will explode in the NFL.

Written on John Adams: Cordarrelle Patterson will leave highlights, regrets behind :

in response to lomas98:

If Patterson was on teams in the 90's he would have played db or would have sat due to not knowing blocking schemes or not being a great route runner.

I hope your post is sarcasm. CP is the SHIZ. Would love to have him back for his senior year, but wish him the best in the NFL.

Written on John Adams: Cordarrelle Patterson will leave highlights, regrets behind :

in response to BIVOLAR_BEARE:

Imagine if the defense had anybody but Sunseri?

Could have finished 9-3.

Written on John Adams: Cordarrelle Patterson will leave highlights, regrets behind :

I love watching Cordarrelle play. Wish like crazy we could keep him another year.

Written on Report: Zach Azzanni new Vols receivers coach :

in response to Tyler_Bray_Truth:

You have no clue. Butch Jones has a history of coaching up the talent he could get (rather than coach down talent like Dooley and Kiffin). A coaching staff simply executes his vision, and having flashy or big-name assistants doesn't really mean anything.

Get your stuff straight. Kiffin may have been a jerk, but he did not coach DOWN talent. Had one field not gotten blocked (and was a good kick), we would have beat Bama and they would not have won the national title that year.

Written on Report: Zach Azzanni new Vols receivers coach :

I'm liking the staff so let's get to work recruiting and then some Spring football.

GO VOLS!!

Written on Tennessee AD Dave Hart says Butch Jones offers 'new beginning' for program :

in response to GiveHim6TDTennessee:

If you think we're going to change our look, you're crazy. I wouldn't mind some alternative looks, though. The academic UT logo with the state forming parts of the UT and the State of Tennessee Tri Star on the helmet would be sick.

Like an orange helmet with a white Power T might look cool. And a checkerboard stripe down the middle of the helmet might work as well. I don't want to do Oregon Ducks or Virginia Tech stuff (with ten different helmets and uniforms). But tweaking our helmet a little could be cool.

Written on Chaney joins Arkansas as offensive coordinator:

in response to LifetimeVolFan98:

and DA is the two letter abbreviation for what you are....

Nice post. And accurate.

Written on John Adams: Martin homecoming will have to wait :

The time isn't right for Tee. That's fine. We move on.

GO VOLS!!

Written on Tee Martin mulling over return to UT :

I don't understand the debate between USC and UT. This should have been a no-brainer decision for Martin. Oh well.

Written on Tee Martin mulling over return to UT :

in response to RockyToptoNeyland:

This has got to be the worst staff in the country so far, so butch has already lied by promising to put together the best staff, what a joke, I was excited about butch and now im just so dissapointed within 3 days, I mean willie martinez?!?!? wtf?? are you retarded? Did you not see auburn and oklahoma's secondary when he was there, they were worse than ours this year, thats saying something, and tommy thigpen??? yea a good recruiter, horrible LB coach, auburn's LBs were the worst in the sec every year, and tee martin? He was blessed with lee and woods at USC, he wasnt that great at UK, and all the coaches from UC, those are just lazy hires. Once again another coach who makes poor personel decisions. What a shock! Our defense will be even worse next year. Good luck BJ, way to use your resources...

What a babbling bunch of krap. Stick a sock in it and go do some homework so you don't sound like such an uninformed fool.

Written on Tee Martin mulling over return to UT :

The main reason Tee and his wife went to LA was for Tee's USC job. He will announce tomorrow that he is returning to Knoxville to join the new staff. His wife does not need to live in California to be successful in her career. And given the choice, east Tennessee is HEAVEN compared to California... especially LA.

Written on Butch Jones' staff taking shape; Tee Martin reportedly has offer :

in response to snuffysmiff:

Willie Martinez? Not sure this is a good hire.

It should be a great hire as a position coach.

Written on Mike Strange: Tennessee needed a fresh start and Butch Jones gives them one :

in response to sly_stone99#434111:

All I would say is Coach please recruit kids that are 3 star and above. I saw the Cincy 2013 recruiting list and indeed understand that class might work in the Big East and at Cincy, but not in the SEC. Some how I think you already know this.

Recruiting for Tennessee with our SEC affiliation, superior facilities, gigantic Stadium, and awesome fan support will blow away the what they could do at Cincinnati. He was still a solid winning coach with the recruits they landed.

Written on Butch Jones' staff taking shape; Tee Martin reportedly has offer :

I hope they hire Tee Martin.

Written on Jay Graham likely only holdover from Derek Dooley's staff :

in response to trl_x:

It might be a mistake not retaining Pittman. The only bright spot in the season was the offensive line.

It's obvious they were coached up.

I really like Pittman and wanted him to stay on. And by Jones not retaining him, it's nothing at all against Pittman. I think Jones respects him very much, but I think Jones is confident with the OL coach he has worked with and believes his guy will produce for Tennessee. That's my take.

Written on Jay Graham likely only holdover from Derek Dooley's staff :

in response to civilianvol_formerly_marinevol:

So, does this mean he's not keeping Sunseri? Chaney get $600,000.00 while Sunseri gets $1.8 million? Sometimes life just isn't fair.

The entire staff is gone except for Jay Graham.

Written on Jay Graham likely only holdover from Derek Dooley's staff :

in response to rb4346:

How about Al Wilson at linebackers coach, anyone agree with that?

IN!

Written on Jay Graham likely only holdover from Derek Dooley's staff :

in response to Pullingguard:

Best staff in college football just may come back to haunt him..but I suppose beauty lies in the beholder..if that's what he believes...

Yep. I can understand that he has a lot of faith in what some of his coaches have produced over their tenure. But claiming we will have the best staff not just in the SEC, but "the nation", does not mean bring everyone from Cincinnati with you except for one coach. I hope he shops around for at least three other guys and Tee Martin is one of them. We'll see.
