re: Tennessee names TE coach Larry Scott new offensive coordinator

You're right. They should've stayed one more year and let Butch develop them into NFL-ready players.

Patterson was one and done, and didnt learn how to run routes under Chaney.

Bray was a first round talent who, under Chaney, never learned to read defenses and went undrafted

Patterson is just a freak talent, and not very smart. Similar to Bama great Forrest Gump. Not like he's been the most fast-learning route guy in the NFL either.

Bray was a 3 star with only a San diego st or San Jose St level offer. He was a stoner, and frankly a brat that took advantage of the situation the coaches were in. Thx to kiffin for pulling Taj Boyds and Bryce Pettys's offers, he was all UT had other than juco transfer Matt simms, so no competition. So many loved his "swag." Bray not learning anything, and going undrafted is on Bray only.

There were plenty of moments where his lack of want to learn, and not just depend on natural talent and swag, hurt the team in a game. Ie...going 3 and out after the D stopped a uf fake punt attempt by Muschamp. Not taking advantage of a pumped up Neyland, and adding to our lead. Instead it sucked out the momentum, and forcing a tired and low depth D back out onto the field. Bray was a cancer, and lost UT more games than he gets credited for.
