Earlier today, we looked at the numbers and concluded that Bob Shoop’s defense in 2016 was not as bad as Sal Sunseri’s 2012 defense. That’s not to say that it wasn’t bad, though. It was. Bad enough to put Butch Jones on the Screaming Pundits’ 2017 Hot Seat Watch List, and […]
While reading something the other day, I ran across a throwaway comment about Bob Shoop’s 2016 defense being “historically bad.” It triggered a double-take, because that was a phrase I used a lot back in 2012 to describe Sal Sunseri’s defense, but I don’t recall using it at all last […]
Recruiting So yeah, 3-star running back Jashaun Corbin decommitted from Tennessee. I have just two pieces of advice for you, young man, after seeing this: Charge your phone and switch to Verizon. But seriously, what do you do after a guy like that decommits? You figure out who else […]
The latest episode of Quarterback Meetings with Erik Ainge provides a glimpse into what kind of stuff the team is looking for in pre-game film study. This one focuses on how two linebackers play the “interior receivers,” i.e., the tight end and the running back. According to Ainge, what the […]

Vols’ defensive tackle Kendal Vickers is not making […]
Happy Mother’s Day, y’all. Do yourself a favor and take a minute to watch this Mother’s Day video from Tennessee Football. Players write cards to their moms, read them, and then are surprised when asked to turn around and see their moms listening on the video screen behind them. And […]
Football It’s all a mind game, man. When defensive back Rashaan Gaulden had to sit out most of the spring due to injury, new position coach Charlton Warren told him that he could look at it one of two ways: Either he wasn’t getting any reps, or he was going […]
When Adrian Martinez committed to Tennessee on Friday afternoon, giving the Vols an elite quarterback prospect a year after they failed to sign a highly rated signal-caller in the 2017 class, the California star mentioned one name over and over and over in his interviews. Mike Canales. All of a […]
The Tennessee Vols just landed another huge commitment for the class of 2018, this one from 4-star quarterback Adrian Martinez, who 247Sports ranks as the nation’s seventh-best dual-threat quarterback in the class.
