Coming this winter on FOX Sports Knoxville… The Tennessee athletic director search has hit a point of comedy. Earlier today, another lead candidate pulled his name out of the running by accepting the athletic director position at Southern Miss. Tennessee’s now gone over five months without a replacement for Dave Hart. If it’s become this…
A 9-3 or 10-2 schedule ≠ difficult. So, fun fact: I was planning on saving this post about Tennessee and Butch Jones for, like, July, but then this happened. "7 or 8 wins is a realistic outcome for Tennessee in 2017 … the schedule is that difficult" @JimmyHyams — Paul Finebaum (@finebaum) January 23, 2017 I…
Another day, another twist in the Tennessee athletic director saga. Based on John Brice‘s reporting, Tennessee assistant athletic director Jon Gilbert will take the athletic director position at Southern Miss. He will take Mike Ward, another Dave Hart hire, with him. What this means for Tennessee is that no current members of the athletic administration…
More reasons to like Josh Dobbs, as if fans needed them Over the weekend, beloved Tennessee quarterback Josh Dobbs gave an interview at the Reese’s Senior Bowl. The game itself will be played on Saturday, but the team at the Senior Bowl hooked up with Dobbs to get a perspective on his upbringing, his time at…
Some would call this a far cry from Peyton Manning. Out of 106 non-practice squad players between the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons, five come from Rutgers. Two come from South Dakota. Just one comes from Tennessee. Funny enough, it’s the player that many fans weren’t big supporters of during his time at Tennessee. Justin…
Well…it’s a ranking! Of polls and people! Courtesy of SB Nation’s Jason Kirk, Tennessee fans may have an early idea of where they’ll be ranked heading into September. In an average of 12 polls, the Vols ranked 22nd, behind Kansas State and in front of West Virginia. Tennessee occupies a ranking of some sort in eight of…
So Tennessee just dropped two staff hires in the middle of the inauguration. I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean. At any rate, Larry Scott is your new offensive coordinator at Tennessee. Here’s what we know. 1. He has never called plays at the collegiate level. Larry Scott, the new offensive coordinator at…
What has been known for some time in Knoxville was officially announced today: Larry Scott is Tennessee’s new offensive coordinator. Also, Tennessee is announcing Mike Canales as the new quarterbacks coach. We previewed the Canales hire yesterday, with a preview on the Scott hire to come. Fans hoping to see Jones go outside of the…
Six players named in various mock drafts; would be most since 2010 Based on an average of seven mock drafts, Vol fans can expect Derek Barnett to be a top 15 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. What they also might get to hear is a second name on that same Thursday night: Alvin Kamara. I…
It’s not officially announced yet, but it’s a 99.9% likelihood current Utah State assistant head coach and running backs coach Mike Canales will be the next quarterbacks coach at Tennessee. To most, that name won’t register. I only know Canales as the North Texas interim head coach when Tennessee played them in 2015, winning 24-0.…
