Chaney is ridiculously obese. How can you make that much money, have the resources he has, and be that fat? No excuse for that IMO.
If he has a medical condition I'm not aware of I appologize but if not good grief

I forgot all about Fugate. Maybe he will provide some good LB depth.
Greg Clark and Hood looked enormous

Correct. All of UT's newcomers will practice for the first time at 7:45 p.m. We'll have a photo gallery from that practice a little later tonight.

By "we" you really mean "I" cause Wesley is at home with a pirate complex. ....kidding of course!

I could careless how "big" he is as long as he can call the right plays and get the Vols to put 35+ points a game.

You don't need to be built like a tank to coach football. Chaney won't be the one on the field running routes or blocking for run/pass protection, so it's not that big a deal (see Charlie Weiss for another example).

Or Phil Fulmer. Or Ralph Friedgen. Or Mark Mangino.
There's a long tradition of portly football coaches.
