That's going to cost him greatly, I'm afraid.  It also means he has no influential supporters to have his back politically.  Coaching at Volunteer is like Game of Thrones.

My sources tell me they offered several candidates the job, but every one turned them down when they were told they have to keep all the same assistants as last year and wouldn't be allowed to bring in any new coaches to help, but would be held accountable for the record.  The administration wants to keep everything the same as much as possible, even though "the same" was an 0-10 laughing stock.

I give him 2-3 years, tops, before he wonders what he's gotten himself into and resigns or gets run off.

He has been lucky to always coach in places where he had lots of speed and talent that was just poorly coached before he got there.  Pearl Cohn has been an NFL factory.  siegel sends players to the SEC regularly.  The team he took over in Chicago was like Chicago's version of Austin East.  Unless Pressley can magically make Volunteer's WRs and RBs run 4.4 instead of 5.4, he's in for a rude awakening.

Welcome to Hawkins County, Coach Pressely!

He might be having some young help from kingsport (:

Excited to see how the team replenishes that massive oline they had if they can. 

Chat about 2018 Indians!

Yall are lucky the mighty Dobyns Bennett Indians have lost a number of big hogs up front. the left tackle signed with etsu, the left guard is going to get into coaching as he pursues his education degree, and the right tackle signed with uva wise. Goodluck to yall in 2018

Waco is right.  He's always been right.  Just not hard enough on the head coach. The HC is the only common thread over the years.  He's a relic and needs to go.  A search for a new one needs to begin today.

I don't see this problem changing.  I don't know, maybe a public challenge to the Board of Education.  Boycott of the program by students and fans.  Make the new stadium unprofitable - a boondoggle. Stuff that is not good. 

I should not have let my hopes rise for this team.  I actually knew better. After all, CoachT is the same drug that Facebook developers have admitted to creating and I should not have been reading it.  So for me, really, the sun has set on my interest in DB football.  I would certainly support any effort to shake up the powers that be and force change.  As much as I despise the words, a community organizer is needed.  Obviously any further comment on here is a pure waste of time.  That's why DB posters on CoachT have nearly vaporized. Perhaps the answer is the same as BatmanDB's.  Find something else to cheer for.  For this tradition no longer exists and the vapors of the memory of it are dissipating.

They have their man he is a proven winner! Coach Pressley took over a 2-7 and went 20-9 his first 3 years
