Written on UT athletic director Hart gets one-year extension, $50K bonus:

in response to GatorHater1998:

He deserved it with the hire of butch!

You sunshine pumpers crack me up. Butch may turn out to be a great hire, but to declare him one before anybody has seen the product he puts on the field is pretty stupid and to claim Dave Hart deserved this extension and bonus before the team has played a single game is equally as stupid.

Written on Vols emphasis still to be basics:

in response to brokendownoldvol:

Coaches get in trouble now for having blocking and tackling drills. That's the reason I quit coaching Pop Warner. Go to any HS game today . You hear or see no big licks. They are just taught to push each other around. I could never play today's watered down game. I'd be thrown out in 5 min.

Seems like the recruits Fla, Ga, LSU and Alabama are getting sure don't seem to have any problems with the fundamentals of blocking and tackling.

Written on Lady Vols will find out how well their game travels :

Holly Warlick sure is sexy.

Written on Vols emphasis still to be basics:

If these guys are having to learn the basics of blocking and tackling now, what in the heck were their High school coaches teaching them?

Written on Butch Jones says of event countering Nick Saban: 'I'll do anything in Tennessee':

I could care less if Jones wins the “battle of the speaking coaches”. When we can beat Saban's team on the football field... then I'll be impressed.

Written on Source: Graham was offered $40,000 raise to $300,000:

OMG people stop all the VFL garbage! The VFL B.S. was started by Dooley the Schmuck, so stop saying it all the time.

Written on Jay Graham reunites with Randy Sanders, Sal Sunseri at Florida State:

Oh boy, maybe we get another coach from Cincinnati!
Seriously people, stop all the "VFL" garbage.
That was just more BS from Dooley's bag of "stuff to tell people so they won't know I stink as a coach".

Written on Jay Graham leaving Vols for Florida State:

in response to THEKIDWISCONSIN:

Can we please stop with the VFL stuff?

This is big business and loyalty goes as far as the pile of money you can throw at someone.

Plus the whole "VFL" thing was started by Dooley and that just adds a tinge of BS to it...

And really, for all the talk of how great a recruiter Graham was, two cycles at UT and he whiffed on every big time RB he want after right?

This team going into next year has bigger problems than losing Graham...it was going to be a tough year regardless

AMEN! my thoughts exactly.

Written on Neyland Stadium's time at the top of SEC over? Reports say Texas A&M's stadium will be bigger:

No more expensive expansion work to Neyland Stadium! They can't fill half the seats they have now.

Written on Behind the scenes with Butch Jones and UT's coaches: Jokes, stories and pronunciation work:

I don't give a Krap how Jones and his yankee coaching staff pronounce Vols.

All I care about is how they recruit and if they can win. So far... their recruiting has proven to be very underwhelming. Doesn't look good for this fall.

The best coaching staff in the country should have been able to do much better.

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

in response to Colliervol:

Nobody was going to fire him after 1 or 2 years dimwit. As it was, he was given a fair chance and they got rid of him after three. If you want to blame somebody, blame the board. The fans certainly had no say in it. Meanwhile you and GFF need to stay in the basement, continue your circle j--- and leave the football talk to the big kids. Next subject.

"Nobody was going to fire him after 1 or 2 years"???

I promise you Alabama would have fired him in that amount of time... so would Florida, LSU, South Carolina, Auburn and Georgia.

Only at Tennessee do the fake fans who are thrilled with UT football if they just make it to any bowl game want to give a loser coach way too much time before they can him.

Written on Vonn Bell enjoys his visit to UT:

According to Rivals.com this morning, Tennessee has dropped to #41 in overall recruiting and dropped to #12 in the SEC (now falling behind Mizzou).

PATHETIC! Best coaching staff in the country... riiiight.

Written on David Climer: Vols staff looks close to home for recruits:

in response to AllforTenn:

Ignorant post. What do you expect from a staff with such a short tenure?

I'll tell you what I expect from what Jones calls "the best coaching staff in the country" and from a coach that Dave Hart considers to be a "home run hire" and "a winning coach with experience winning in the SEC" (which Jones is clearly not).

I expect that if his Big LEast coaching staff is the best in the country that we finish with a top 15 recruiting class (at least) and a top 5 class in the SEC.

I expect to see positive results in his first year and at least 9 wins. I expect this to improve even more into his second year, third year. I expect to be in the running for the SEC Championship his third year at least.

Dave Hart promised the Vol Nation a new coach that would be a winning coach that had experience winning in the SEC. What we got was nowhere near what we were promised. Hart told us that his priority was to get the UT football program back to the elite level. Barring some kind of last minute recruiting miracle straight from the throne of the almighty, the recruiting class that Jones is assembling will not be able to compete with Vanderbilt.

What really blows my mind is that even after the horrible disaster/failure with Dooley, that there are still so many people calling themselves "real fans" on this board that are still more than happy or even excited to accept mediocrity or worse from the Vol football program.

It's pathetic.

Written on David Climer: Vols staff looks close to home for recruits:

in response to DwayneElizondoMountainDewHerbertCamacho:

"Recruiting in many ways is like politics. It is local."

Maybe if you're Florida or Texas, but not UT. Tennessee's talent base is sparse. What you're doing is you are "rationalizing." Jones isn't successful at recruiting good players nationally so you're rationalizing his lack of success by advocating that his local recruiting is more important. It isn't.

Jones has resuscitated in-state recruiting, but hasn't landed players like Von Bell, so except for one four star kid, he hasn't done much to make us competitive in the SEC (and isn't that what he's supposed to do rather than make UT fans feel good about their state?). Don't think stars matter? Fine. Not one commitment to UT has an offer from Bama. That's extremely telling. We aren't winning the battles for the players we will need to hang with the top of the SEC.

But that's fine because your best blue collar buddy Butch Jones worked his way up to coaching Cincinnati. I'm sure that in the end that will work out...because the SEC is a Disney movie. We're one Butch Jones montage away from making it to the SEC championship.

I don't care how hard he's working. He's recruiting marginal players who other (real) SEC programs aren't looking at. Sorry, that's the truth. In three years, this group won't be the top of the SEC and Jones will be slogging through his third season of mediocrity with guys like you rehashing old Dooley arguments like "he needs four years" or "he needs to get the staff he wants," etc. etc.

Jones is an upgrade over Dooley, but then again I have a friend coaching his son's pee wee football league and he would have been an upgrade over Dooley. Jones will get us to 8 wins in a season and that's where we will remain for YEARS. At least Dooley had the decency to expose himself in his third season. Jones will keep fans hanging on to the ever present, ever unattainable "next season."

Of course, I'm only saying this because I'm a troll. There's absolutely no way that you could predict all of that from looking at Jones coaching history, his choice in assistant coaches, his current recruiting capabilities, etc. Just like there was no way to look at Dooley's overall losing record and predict that he would lose.

Anyway...I'll be right about this coach just like I was right about Fulmer and Dooley. Admittedly, I supported Kiffin and overlooked his screw ups, but that won't happen again. Jones will be a mediocre SEC coach unless he starts recruiting the talent he needs to win and hires actual SEC coordinators and coaches rather than Auburn and Georgia's cast-offs and his current Big East crew (who will be exposed in the next two seasons).

Think I'm a troll? Please copy this message and throw it in my face in three years.

Good post... spot on.

Rivals.com Recruiting Rankings

Team Rankings: Tennessee #31
SEC: #11

Sad and Pathetic. Unimpressive recruiting results from the "Best coaching staff in the country".

Written on Tennessee walk-ons Derrick Brodus, Tyler Drummer, Dylan West receive scholarships :

This means that Jones is not even going to be able to recruit enough players to fill all the scholarship positions. Awesome.
How can this be when he's told us he has the best coaching staff in the whole country??

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

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.

Written on Tennessee football support staff will make $1.425 million in combined salaries:

Well worth the money!

These guys just got a commit from a two star JUCO volleyball playing tight end with a total record of 1 touchdown.

With recruiting like this we'll be right back up there in the mix for an SEC championship!

Written on Quarterback Tyler Bray selects agent Don Yee :

Begone Bray!

Keep chucking those beer bottles and golf balls at car windshields somewhere else.

Written on Poll: What position is the most critical for the Vols to focus on in recruiting?:

H. All of the above.

Still sitting in the sewer of the SEC in recruiting. Rivals ranked #10 in conference. The question isn't just what positions to recruit, more importantly, is CBJ getting anybody worth a dang.

CBJ... where are the 4 and 5 star recruits?

Written on Tennessee coaches are on Twitter, but are they doing their own tweeting?:

Hey Butch Jones... where are the 4 & 5 star recruits? Where are the verbal commitments? What are you doing on the recruiting trail?

The only new verbal commitment that has been reported for UT is a solitary 3* you've Lane Kiffin'd from Cincinnatti.

How many verbal commitments has Coach Jones secured so far?

Written on Juco DT Ben Bradley no longer a Tennessee commitment:

The sunshine pumpers are out in force today I see.

Ranked 47th on Rivals... there is no way to spin this. No way Jones is going to have a decent recruiting class, let alone a good one. And the mediocrity continues. Thanks Dave Hart!!

Written on Tennessee's new football coach Butch Jones used to holiday shuffle:

CBJ best be getting his rear end in gear and get some recruits because according to Rivals, we are ranked 12 out of 14 in the SEC. That is pathetic.

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

Good riddance.

Written on Poll: Are you satisfied with the coaching staff Butch Jones has put together?:

KNS why dont you report on how Jone's recruiting efforts are going? How many 4 and 5 start recruits does he have verbal commits from???

Written on UT confirms football staff hirings :

Wow, who would have ever thought that "The best coaching staff in the country" was all of Lyle Jones's buddies from the Big Least conference right there at Cincinnati.

Prepare to be underwhelmed next season.

Written on Saugatuck to Sunsphere: Butch Jones' meteoric rise :

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

Get Gruden... anyone else is a joke.

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

Hart... Get your a-- in gear and go get Gruden or pack your bags and take your boney rear end back to Alabama and stay there.

Written on As Jon Gruden drama ends, focus shifts to other Tennessee candidates :

in response to honesthoward:

According to a 790am NFL guy here in Houston yesterday, Gruden was "trending" toward taking the job a month ago but he didn't get the offer he wanted from Hart. Specifically, he wanted "more control than Saban" has at Bama. I see someone else stated the same thing earlier. Probably true.

They should have given him the control... because the people that have control now at UT are idiots.

Written on As Jon Gruden drama ends, focus shifts to other Tennessee candidates :

in response to claiborneh:

Why would the fans and media have to be distracted by a "decoy." Distracted by deception for....??? Why do you have to keep attention off his activities?Too many people live in a conspiracy theory world of make believe.
If you lose a quarter and discovered a hole in your pocket , yes a pickpocket is a possibility. But really??
Could it be that Gruden simply had not decided firmly, and once he let Hart know, they let it be known.
I'm guessing this scenario was the hole in the pocket.

Could it be that Hart is as big of a moron as Mike Hamilton? Looks that way.

Written on As Jon Gruden drama ends, focus shifts to other Tennessee candidates :

I'm beginning to think Dave Hart is a f*****g idiot.

Written on As Jon Gruden drama ends, focus shifts to other Tennessee candidates :

Dear Jim Haslam, Go get get Gruden and Make sure Dave hart is fired and sent packing back to his Alabama masters.

Written on As Jon Gruden drama ends, focus shifts to other Tennessee candidates :

"I don't know Dave Hart," LaMonte said. "I'd never met him or talked to him. (Today) was the only time I talked to anyone from Tennessee."

LaMonte said Hart's phone call on Friday was apparently a formality."

Dave Hart, if this is true and you have exerted no effort to get Jon Gruden, You are a joke and should be fired today!
