The Tennessee forum i'm skimming through has mixed reactions, but most agree he wasn't a bad OC.


Just did a quick twitter search on him and the only reaction I saw was that it's the best thing to happen. He seems to fit the style that CTA wanted with a run-first offense.

I never really look at twitter because I've found that even relating to the most recent Indiana tweets, a lot of them are stuff I flat out disagree with but looking at Tennessee's forum they're even saying DeBord didn't have complete control over the offense. Apparently Butch Jones had a lot of input and they're upset about that.

Going to get ahold of my big time Vols friend to see what he thinks of this. I'll report back momentarily.



My step dad is a huge Tennessee fan as well and just text me and said you guys stole one from us. I responded with a please elaborate lol. To make it short he said their fans have been saying this guy is the reason Butch Jones is still around, recruits love him, and he will be a head coach somewhere soon. That is enough for me.

Ok here's what my Vols friend just texted me in response to this: "Yeah I saw that. He seemed to do ok at Tennessee. Just spread offense so if you have a duel threat quarterback it seemed to work best ."

Not really sure what this means, as Lagow definitely isn't a dual threat guy. Man I would kill to have a Tre Roberson here right now. What about the redshirt King, isn't he more of a dual threat option? Or Ramsey?
