Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 15, 2019, 08:09:27 EST
Not sure of the position yet. Probably WR Coach.

Nice. Tennessee should keep it in the family, and Tee is a great Vol 😎

Most excited I've been about a staff since Kiffin.  :thumbup:

Tee is going to absolutely lay waste on the recruiting trail.

Where do I sign?

I'm glad to have Tee back, but if it costs us Johnson that seems to be a high price. Our WR production improved significantly.

I'm more excited, this has a great feeling and I haven't felt this vibe in a long, long time

Great point about recruiting as well, hopefully we can go toe-to-toe with Clemson within Tennessee

If Johnson is the one one that leaves it's my understanding it's a mutual agreement between him and Pruitt. Based on reports Johnson interview for a position on the Kansas staff....Some rumors have him going to Auburn?

I have no good opinion or bad opinion of us getting Tee. Just because he is a VFL doesn't mean he is a great coach. He coached some pretty outstanding offensive talent at USC and none of their offenses were really lights out, even with Darnold, Barkley etc.

You wouldn't think God himself would be a good coach

Lol, that's your first reaction?   :dance:

After the last 11 years, what do you think my first reaction should be?  :laugh: I can't enjoy the last couple of minutes of a big win anymore without wondering, "How are we gonna screw this up?"

Seriously, though, I'm just not as enamored with Tee as a coach as most UT fans seem to be. Our WRs were greatly improved this year...and I can't help but think he's probably been promised an eventual position as the OC, which I'm not sure is a good thing.

It could be a good boost to recruiting, though...so that might be the best part about it.

He was hired to recruit, and he can do that big time.

Do you also walk around with an umbrella open waiting for it to rain?

(Actually, I know you don't because you know what the weather is going to do a month from now re: FB  :biggrin:)

Just enjoy a bit of sunshine while we've got it!

Not unless he won. It's all about the W's and L's.

This!  Tee is coming home for one reason, recruiting is that reason.

He was hired to recruit, and he can do that big time.

That is why I am not against Tee being here. Recruits will be a constant need looking at our conference rivals. The East is getting better.

I agree, this could work out great.  I imagine Tee will be a good position coach as well, and hopefully he will be able to complement what Chaney has to offer.  I guess the key will be the chemistry on the O staff and how well they can work together.  Having Fulmer there just might help taht situation.
