His recruiting it smart bring every kid you can in and see who survives and makes you look good as a coach. Unfortunately a lot of great kids will not be running in a Tennessee uniform after a few months because they won’t have the “promised” money to come run for Tennessee.
I get the impression that the training that he’s implementing now is a bit different from what he did at Notre Dame. Just a lot more. He was big on aerobic development at Notre Dame for sure, but there was a workout posted on YouTube that was super long. Some of his guys are on Strava and they just do a ton of volume.
People will hate, just like they hate on VanHoy. Young coaches that succeed catch a lot of crap.
He’s not the best coach ever but he’s doing great. Both genders are solid. He’s only been there a few years right? Time will tell.
The NCAA is so fast right now there isn’t a lot of margin for error. Doing all three seasons at a high level is REALLY hard as well. Especially with conference meets thrown in.
they recruit hard and recruit well. That is the BIGGEST factor for success in the ncaa
