I have a feeling the sports forum won't stay open long.

The ignore button works great.

What's past games against top 10 teams, rebuilding memes,the coin toss memes about winning, got to do with Shoop??

Just wondering lol if you feelers are gonna are gonna troll and post memes, instead of having a normal sports conversation can you at least stay on topic?

That Back to the Future meme is hilarious.

Speaking of Tennessee stopping the run, is Alabama in good shape to fill the loss of Henry and Drake to the NFL?

DKjr should have started from the beginning. His talent and speed would have overcome most mistakes he would have made. He had an impressive year for a freshman. I expect him to do even better things this year.

Good looking linebacker, espeacially a freshman!! If we had Stoops last year I can only imagine how differently our season would have been! 4 major games blown in the 4th by defensive strategy

Really excited to see how the D performs as a unit under Shoop.
Has the potential to be nasty.
We are finally out of Dooley's shadow. Butch had a full team of his recruits to work with.

It looks like it. Sophomore Bo Scarbrough (6'2", 240#, 5* recruit) looks like a Derrick Henry clone and is getting all of the press, while Damien Harris (another sophomore, also a 5*) was the MVP of the spring game. Between the two of them it appears Saban has reloaded pretty well.
My biggest concern right now is center, which I think is the most critical line position in Bama's scheme. Ryan Kelly was pretty much the best center in college football (Rimington Award, first round draft pick), and his shoes are going to be pretty tough to fill.

The main problem Tennessee had last year was finishing games. Thats one of the main things shoop and butch have to do is win a big game. Butch has proved he can get the vols a winning record but still hasn't won against top teams or top conference rivals. hopefully shoop can help fix that for yall.

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

In Shoops own words that is what Butch hired him to do. Shoop said Butch told him he was hiring him to take them from a 9 win team to an 11 win plus team. Whether he can do that or not is yet to be seen. Given his track record with much less talent, I think he will get it done.

are you talking about when he was at vandy?

 

[TeamMainStreet]

I dont really know what he had to work with at State Penn(had good defenses tho) so yes, Vandy is who I was talking about.

 

[Mudbone]

Yeah think he had the 18th &19th best defenses in the country when coaching Vandy who just happen to play in the toughest division in football. He proved it was not a fluke by doing it 4 years in a row with 2 different teams.

It's scary to think he will be able to do with Mack,tuttle,Sutton,Kongbo, Reeves Mayben,Warrior,Barnett, Kirkland JR, Todd KellyJR....... the list goes on that Defense truly is loaded at about every position.

Hey Mudbone since you watched Shoop's work for 3 years at vandy. What do you think he will do year 1 with the vols? Top 25 defense? Top 20? top 15?

Top 15 probably better with the talent on his roster. Go back and watch some of the old vandy d's under Shoop. They absolutely SWARM ball with great speed and intuition. The vandy defenses I watched him coach had nowhere near the athletes or talent he just inherited. He got burned taking risks a lot at vandy as far as blitzing and what not. But the talent will be vastly different than what he's used to having. I see the vols being one of the best d's in the country next season if they stay healthy. You guys will love Shoop and the aggressive swarm the damn ball attack!! Could get funky in Knoxville!! No joke, Shoop will transform them dudes. I hope he does good I've always loved him. He was the best coach n the sidelines in the Franklin days.
