Tennessee fans what do you think about this?

    Sorry that looks straight stupid. I meant after Murray leaves. MY BAD. haha

    I think Richt and Bobo's track record with QBs speaks for itself. Tennessee's problem is right now they are being out recruited by all three of the those schools right now. Until UT starts beating UGA, UF, etc for recruits they will stay at 4th in the East.

    I will eat total crow if he comes out and balls when he has some weapons. But the better quarterbacks are efficient with mediocre talent at WR.

    He had a fantastic record last year, and managed the game well, but I don't recall a game where he took control of the game, and willed the Gators to victory (regardless of his players to throw to). That was Gillislee all year.

    Efficient you say ? brah, he went 11-2 against a mean schedule as a sophomore and barely ever turned it over outside of the UGA game

    only had 5 picks on the year and a solid/respectable 63% completion percentage

    I don't know why, but I like his hillbilly ass... seems like a cool kid and I have no problem cheering for him despite the obvious reasons why I should hate him

    4th or worse. I agree. The whole reason for a great coach is that you only beat those teams with one of two things: 1) great coaching up of inferior talent 2) having more talent

    Clearly we come upon a impasse with the only solutions being cheating out of your mind in recruiting or bring in a coach that can coach up your kids.

    All of this rings true, unless the scenario comes true, like I described earlier where a team underachieves and you can take a few of their prospects. Still got to beat the down team in the season to take advantage though. I just hope that we have a coach that is able to get the most of our kids. It's our best shot atm.

    Lol love the picture drops. I would just like to see better numbers before I go saying anything praising him. If he went out and passed for 2500 and 20 TDs, he would merit more recognition, IMO.

  • I don't think he thought he fit in with Jones. Everyone Jones hired had worked together at one point or another. The situation sucks, but I have no unearthly idea why he would want to work with Sanders for.... Sunseri ... lol I hope like hell he fails everywhere he goes after that garbage him and Dooley put on the field last year... How the freak do you have Bray, Patterson, Hunter, and one of the best o lines in the country and go 5-7??? Tennessee had 5 guys invited to the combine... and go 5-7???? It's not all about the talent gap... It's terrible freakish coaching that has happened the last few years..

    Agreed. It makes the kids more relatable, which makes you wanna root for em.

    There's a lot more to this story that will never get released. There was some sort of discussion over the last month when recruiting responsibilities were being delegated, and he got himself in a bad place by not backing off what he wanted in terms of title and money. This was in the works prior to the announcement, and our mods reported that he had decided to come back, then woke up the next day and decided against it.

    Look, FSU got a great RB coach. He is one of the better coaches at that position, and we took a bit of a downgrade with the new coach. Congrats to them.

    But, if you think this had any effect of great magnitude on Jalen Hurd, you are kidding yourself. He is the exact same situation as Vonn Bell. If we win a good amount of games and show progress, he'll come home to Knoxville. We put out a crappy product on the field, and fail to compete with the Big 3 (Florida, Georgia, Alabama), or at least one of the big 3, he will go elsewhere. OSU probably has a lead atm because of the relationship the coach up there has. In state pressure, with marked improvement in the team, would beat that in the end.

    I'm not sold on Hurd yet, I would rather have Michel/Yearby before him.

    He will give us a look now though. I want him so FSU can start a tradition of taking top talent out of TN.

    But then again I want that tradition in all of the south east.

  • honestly the hire we made to replace Jay Graham was a good hire. Once we knew we hired Gillespie everyone felt much better. I know some of you guys are just trolling but hell after wasting so much talent last year there aren't many Vol fans butthurt about losing the whole staff.

    Did he not get along with the new staff and followed Sunseri or was it something else?

    My google research of that dude(and did not read thread) tells me he's someone I should take with a grain of salt unless otherwise reported

    It amazes me how much flack Driskel still gets

    The kid is damn good.... he just had no WR's last year, he did go 11-2 with a meaningless bowl game loss in his first year as the main QB, he also beat out a very talented kid named Jacoby Brissett for those that forgot already

    I liked what I saw from Driskel last year despite his boneriffic passing yardage total, which again... was a direct result from throwing to some total boners at WR

    He made 2 big time/very important throws against UTn. Guess you forgot about those.

    Which one? The slant route that was 15 yards and turned into 75? or one of the dump off passes to Burton? Or a jump ball to Reed? My memory ain't so good.

  • I also think Driskel can be a real good QB for the Gators. He struggled against Georgia, but a lot of that wasn't his fault. He had some TOs but didn't exactl have a lot of time, that game was also one of Floridas worst rushing games of the year.

    Winner in Jax goes to ATL. I'm not discounting Carolina, I just think Georgia as Florida are more complete teams

    Why do you feel as if Georgia and Florida are more complete teams than south Carolina? South Carolina has a easy schdule with its hardest game being Georgia in Athens.

    I agree that I think they have an easy schedule. Dont get me wrong, I think South Carolina is a very good team and could very easily end up in Atlanta, I just like what I see out of the other two a bit more. I think Georgia has the most explosive offense in the SEC next year. It is hard to pick Georgia over South Carolina right now since they have won the last three but I do think it will be hard for Carolina to score enough to beat Georgia in Athens next year. Florida I think could really establish a solid running game next year which will take a lot of pressure off of Driskel. Florida has to go to South Carolina though right? I could easily see a scenario where South Carolina loses to Georgia in Athens, Georgia loses to Florida in Jax and Florida loses to Carolina in Columbia.

    Lmao your saying he's a good QB because what he did against us? We had an oversized hippo coordinating our defense. Hell Akron's QB looked good against that jackass. Damn I hate that bastard.

    Anybody who dogs Driskel is out of their mind, that kid can ball son

    I have been saying it since he was a prospect, when I saw him house a 75 yard run in the All American game I was like god damn, did that cracka just smoke every brotha on that field....
