Kind of sounds like he won't be back until somewhere around the south carolina game. (That's just an estimation from what it sounded like to me during his interview)
Rumor is he could end up having to have an additional season ending surgery (worst case). That’s coming from one of the more reputable posters on VN.
I've got a close buddy that ordered a pair of orange Chuck Taylors and they monogrammed "Git U Sum" (tastefully) on the side. We also bought orange heavy-weighted camo gear (overalls, pants, shorts) from some dude on The Strip many, many years ago. We still get thumbs-up from the fans as we enter Neyland (assuming it is the gear) and not the 2 old farts wearing them.
Nice to have a coach that a) doesn't hire shit coaches because he is a shit coach and b) doesn't hire shit coaches because he sees daggers in everyone's hands.
