Six UT players unanimously say they'd want to play for Carolina

My business writing class has six UT football players in it, including quarterback Nathan Peterman if there are any Vol fans in here. The professor is a huge football fan and loves talking to the players. Just a few minutes ago he asked them which pro football team they'd like to play for if they had the choice. Without hesitation, all six of them said Carolina. I immediately quipped up and asked them why. They said that Ron is a players' coach and he is well regarded by college players across the nation; that the team has great facilities; Charlotte is a nice city; and the organization is very player-friendly. 

 

Not making this up. Guess we have that going for us

We also have the best uniforms in the league. I think within a decade we are going to become a very very popular team. Especially if Cam continues to mature and progress. Awesome color scheme, great weather, nice facilities, a quaint yet entertaining location simultaneously. A mascot such as a Panther, represents everything a football player should be. Powerful and fast, deceptive and cunning, and relentless at the same time.

Tennessee gets a lot of NC and Charlotte area HS players. Coradelle Patterson is from Rock Hill and I recall him saying last year he was a Panthers fan growing up and he would love to play for us.

 

Look at their roster. All 3 QBs are from NC or the Charlotte area. They also snagged one of the top players in the state last season in Marquez North (Mallard Creek) who was a hard UNC target. They also got Maryland transfer and former Ardrey Kell RB Justus Pickett (who was a student of my Mom there too). 

 

Georgia, Tenn, and the Gators seem to have their hands deep into the NC HS football recruiting scene and if there's a top prospect here, one of these three schools will usually land him. 

 

I am a documented UNC and ECU fan - but when it comes to the SEC I will always pull for the Vols. My aunt has season tickets. I usually will pull for UGA vs most SEC teams based on the fact that they get a lot of the NC kids. Todd Gurley, who IMHO is the best RB in college FB, along with Keith Marshall are both from the triangle. 

 

Oh, and F*ck Flordia.

      That is pretty wild but I guess it does speak pretty highly of him that VT welcomed him back in a lesser role shortly after firing him. He was Franklin's DC at Penn State for years prior to taking the VT job so it makes sense on that front. Says a lot about Frankin too to keep the former HC around, the prior working relationship no doubt plays a big role there. Can't imagine keeping the fired HC around in a lesser role unless he'd already worked under you in the past. Being a really good coordinator doesn't always translate to being a good HC. I guess credit to VT for not losing a good coordinator because he failed as a HC.

      Evero is growing on me as DC

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      He isn’t in any of the HC conversations this year but he was a couple of years ago. I can see Tepper trying to resign him due to the improvement this season and wanting the 3rd round picks if he gets hired somewhere else. The coaching candidates are weak as hell this year, Evero may think he has a chance at a job or can backfill a DC of a contender if they leave for a HC job.    BUT this also gives Dave and Dan an opportunity to bring in their guy, so will be interesting to see.
