OK, here's what I've pieced together about Tuesday night

This is from a usually very reliable source. There was a team meeting. Dumbrick comes sauntering in and a coach, I'm guessing Hinshaw, axed him if he was OK. His eyes were glazed over and he was babbling to some extend. The coach axed his again and became suspicious. At some point Dumbrick did some serious, perhaps profanity laced mouthing at coach Dooley. At this time the coach who originally confronted him said that's it and they drug tested him right there on the spot and may have booted him out of the meeting. He was gone the next day.
Also interesting on the drug testing. Supposedly a player could test positive on Dec. 30 and when the New Year is rang in, he gets a clean slate, which means that he could test positive again on Jan. 15th and it would only count as the first failed test. In my estimation, this Dumbrick has failed multiple drug tests, perhaps as many as four or five during the course of his time in Knoxville.
From the Mercedes to this: ::shortbus::

Have any of the players been discussing this? If that happened, more and more will come out.

I'm sure some of the players are talking privately, but nothing public yet. I've lost my player source from Crockett County so can't check with him anymore. Most of this info came through a certain Tennesse native who is a strength coach at another SEC school.

I bet it was cocaine. That's why the drug tested him on the spot because coke gets out of your system in a couple days. He made a comment about cocaine a week ago on twitter so that prob raised suspicion too.

Thanks. I still think we are better off in the long run without Rogers. I think the team with come together and play harder against NCSt and when they win, it will be the confidence builder that is needed for the rest of the season.

I agree. The better chemistry is worth losing one player. My biggest concern on the matter is Jim Chaney. He was in his comfort zone with all them stud receivers. He will have to be a little more like a traditional TN coordinator now and mix it up. I question is ability to play call in a balanced offense.

We are not going to run a traditional Al Saunders/Walt Harris offense with the fullback leading the way.


Weare going to run 2-3 WR sets for the most part with the tight ends taking a dirty split. Chaney is about creating mismatches and moving the safeties off a hash instead of trying to grind the ball into the ground. He understands that you win a game by scoring more points, rather than just by trying to play ball control.

If the safeties are moved from the hash or if more DBs are in the game, he will run the ball. If there are 7 ad 8 men in the box, he will pass the ball. That is called smart play calling.

I can't count the number of times, that in a so called "balanced" offense, we ran the ball into 8 and 9 man fronts under Fulmer-without a lot of success the final 7-8 years.

See what the defense is doing and run your play to take advantage of their scheme and coverage packages.

Totally agree with you on Chaney. He was rocking and rolling last year when he had two good wide receivers even without a running game. He may not be Bobby Petrino, but he is close when it comes to game planning and play calling. Let's see what he can do with the legit horses he has this year! :coolaid:

Lots of things left unsaid.

Losing an All-SEC receiver - down to two horses - and hopefully some of other WR's can make the step up - as there will be a lot of snaps (i.e. plays) offensively. As to the play of the TE in this offense - lets just call it a WIP.

The true key in this - YPC from the running game. Someone mentioned Petrino and the Arkansas offense from last season, w/o K. Davis. IIRC another RB stepped in - and while the total # of rushing yards weren't at the same of Davis - the YPC was about the same.
