There’s a history of disrespect for Tennessee football quarterbacks, and Hendon Hooker is adding to that list. Caleb Calhoun and Dave Hooker lead Off The Hook’s Friday, Feb. 17 podcast discussing the players analysts have ahead of Hooker. They also look at SEC offensive coordinator hires and have two guests on.
Mel Kiper and Todd McShay disrespect Tennessee football QB
Both NFL Draft “experts” have Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, Will Levis and Anthony Richardson all in the top 10 of their mock drafts. Hooker, however, isn’t even in the first round. Is that ridiculous, or do they have a point? Why is Hooker not getting the respect they are getting? Although Young and Stroud make sense, how could Levis and Richardson be ahead of them?
Did Tennessee football make the best OC hire in the SEC?
There were 10 offensive coordinator changes in the SEC this year. Tennessee football was among the programs to undergo a change, promoting Joey Halzle to the role after Alex Golesh left to take the head coaching job of the South Florida Bulls. Did any school make a better OC hire than the Vols? Which school on UT’s schedule next year made the worst OC hire?
Fred White joins
Former Tennessee football defensive back Fred White joined the show to talk about the state of the Vols and Georgia’s OC hire. He also looked back on the 1998 national championship team, discussing the wins over Syracuse and Florida and the work Tee Martin put in to replace Peyton Manning that offseason.
Mike Griffith joins
DawNation’s Mike Griffith joined the show to discuss the Georgia Bulldogs naming Mike Bobo as their OC, the story of Stetson Bennett and whether or not the Tennessee-Georgia rivalry will continue once the SEC moves to 16 teams. Who will the annual opponents be for the Vols and Dawgs once that day comes?
