Steve Stripling said he had a “great” vacation this offseason. It lasted all of one day. Tennessee's new defensive line coach had to hit the ground running, and he knew it.

Hopefully Stripling turns McCullers into a first round pick to pay him back for returning. The future of each of these guys and Tennessee's defense will depend heavily on the D-line's production this year.

This man has his work cut out for him. I wish I thought it was going to be easier, but this could be even more challenging to improve than the secondary. A secondary can be pretty good, but if there is no pressure from the D-line or the D-line never stops the runners, then it makes LB's, CB's, and safeties work a lot harder. I wish him the best, obviously, and I am thankful that he has so much experience to bring to this D-line group. Vols!!

This staff just really seems to GET IT when it comes to selling the traditions and Power T brand that is Big Orange. I'm more excited than the day CBJ was hired.
Its not a stupid question until you ask it.

I love the way this whole Coaching Staff likes to pick the peoples' minds that have been around the program. They have a lot of confidence but don't seem to carry big egos. I like it. GO VOLS!
