Vols_11

Preach. It's got to be the ACL scaring some because what physical traits does Levis have that Hendon doesn't? Hendon can make all the throws that Levis can, is the same size and measureables, but has actually proven he can play at a Heisman caliber level. And when the knock against him is that he played in a QB friendly offense, I just hear that he had better coaching. The stereotype is that we throw it all over the yard but we run more than pass and always run near the goal line. He could easily have put up bigger numbers if they wanted to pad his stats. Remember the 70 yd TD against Bama to Hyatt? That was called a run play and checked them into that. He knows what he's doing. Mahomes also played in a QB friendly offense (and no, not saying he's the next Mahomes) and I'm sure the Chiefs are glad they took a chance on him. I could go on and on but the dude deserves is and I hope the best for him.

This exactly. He's implying that his head coaching experience has helped him grow to be able to handle a situation like UT. But, oh well, I guess they can just keep up freaking out over nothing.

Really, dude? I get that the Vols are in the news and you need to capitalize on the views, but, seriously? By your reasoning, every program not named Alabama, Clemson, Ohio St should just hang it up, or, at best, hope for 1 good year every 20. Sports, are at their heart, a competition. When you compete, you compete to win or what's the point? Vols have high hopes for their program but so should every program. If not, then I agree with you, every program should hang it up. Every Vol fan knows we have been dysfunctional and have performed poorly for many years now, reminders are not something we need. Yes, we have a vocal fan base. Yes, all other teams do too. You read the comments section lately? Finally, on the recruiting front, you're just plain wrong and woefully uninformed. Have you looked at TN's 2022 class? Have you seen the boom that has been happening for awhile in Nashville? Have you looked at a map lately? We are as close to Memphis as we are GA, NC, SC, AL, and very close with FL, MS. One of our top recruits is Texas. So no, the state is not holding us back. So what's the point? We need new and better leadership to take advantage of the our program. You are right that there is only one Saban, but that's a problem every program has. Alabama was able to to hire the best coach in the history of CFB and that's a problem every program has had to deal with. He won't be coaching forever and their next hire will be just as important as everybody else's.

Dave, you're still trash garbage.

Dave, you are trash freaking garbage.
