I had the feeling it was coming and it's really huge, especially with it being my first SEC school and the tradition at Tennessee. It's really cool.
"I haven't been out there before but definitely planning to now. ... I know that their fan base is one of the best in the country from what I've heard and seen."

I've been watching his videos on YouTube from when he was at Miami and I like the way he puts on the cleats and he doesn't just tell you how to do it but he shows you how to do it. You can tell he has a lot of passion for what he does and he has a lot of juice when he coaches."
