Please feel free to fill in the blank.
I will start with JEDI KNIGHT!
The simple fact that we are in play with these 4* and 5* guys after the past 5 years is a testament to a stoic program and a new coach that has a proven background as a winner and the fact that this man REALLY cares and wants to be here at Tennessee.
Not only has CBJ won me over as a fan, but he has also earned my respect.
This is the beginning of GREAT THINGS!!!!
GO VOLS!!!

impressive thus far. Great coaches can recruit, and while we haven't seen if his previous on field success converts to the same at the SEC level, the legends have always been able to reel in the talent. I sure hope he becomes a legend.

A great recruiter/closer. If CBJ wins some games next year, you'll really see how good of a recruiter/closer he really is. Lots of positive vibes on Coach Jones and his staff amongst a lot of high school coaches and players.

VFL!!! It's amazing that for a guy that had nothing to do with UT has adopted so much of our program!!! Unlike the past two guys, in which names we will not speak of, he is not trying to change our tradition, culture, atmosphere, etc..... He is embracing it, therefore CBJ is VFL!!!!

Surpassing my expectations. His and his staffs' Blue Collar approach to recruiting is just flat out gettin' it done. I refuse to be anything but excited about NSD now. BCRT! GO VOLS!

Aren't we ranked 45th currently on Rivals? You guys should hold off on the accolades until we get ahead of Vandy.
My fill in the blank would be "under immense pressure". Bell and North would help but we need much more.

That 45th is without North. With him it would place us possibly low 30's... Every coach is "under immense pressure" right now. CBJ & Co. are gonna be alright and the accolades are well earned. We need to continue to be patient... At the same time, you're right though, WE as fans need to continue to be patient too!

Tennessee is ranked 27th (247 rankings) 25th (247 composite) with the addition of North.
