...has that "Pearl" quality I have been saying is needed for this program. If he can transpate that into wins,... I am actually looking forward to seeing his product on the field. He certainly blows Dooley and Kiffin both out of the water as far as personality, passion, drive, etc. IMO.  |

I say this as nicely as possible. I hope Jones destroys every other team while he's at UT. That having been said I've heard a lot of good speeches. Houston Nutt was a master of them (in a very unpolished kind of way)
I sat through a ton of nice speeches in meetings this week. The proof is in the pudding. Most people know what they should do, they're just not great at doing it.

The presser was irrelevant to me. I'm in full on show me mode. BUT, do agree he was likeable. He also seemed like the knida guy that would insist on physical play and discipline.... Maybe it was the throwback haircut.

I like it that Tennessee will be going back to the four man front on defense |

Absolutely! That's why I said "if he can translate that into wins." But it sure helps to have that passion and drive. Plus, I liked the discipline and physical football references. I'd love to see that. |

Well, he better get to recruiting then. We don't have enough decent DL to fill out a 3 man line, much less a 4. |

Most of those we had playing OLB were DEs and were playing DE most of the year. We really played a 4/5 man front except when we were in the dime package all year. Non Dime package 3 man front plays you probably don't need your shoes off to count. |

Needs to recruit his own team first. Don't need a lot of transfers and players leaving

Based on what he said, it sounds like he hit it off well with the players or thought he did (1:30 p.m. meeting) and he recruited quite a few of them while he was at Cincy. |

I was impressed with him based on the press conference not because he was eloquent of speech, because I don't think he was particularly. He came across as genuine and excited to be a Vol, though...and very confident. To me, he's a dang football coach, not a lawyer attempting to be one.

Just to be clear on my intent, I was impressed with the man's passion, personality, apparent drive, etc. He still has a lot of work to do and a lot of "proving it" to do on the field. That's really what matters. But, I think he has some qualities very similar to those that drew fans to Bruce Pearl. If he can get that fan interest peaked and win on the field, then....

Boom! Dooley from the very first, deliberate use of the word "britches" struck me as someone trying to cultivate an image. Deinitley "lawyer-like". And throughout his tenure he kind of acted like a politician to my POV. I didn't see the presser yet but heard a good deal of it on the radio, and while it's clear that Butch has carefully rehearsed many of his answers, they also sounded genuine and from the heart. I never got that with Dooley. More like cold and crafted. It's a definite step up, whether that says much remains to be seen, but I am pretty happy today.  |
