Podcast appearances and mentions of tennessee vols

The Tennessee Vols defense is beginning to show some extremely encouraging signs under new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles after a much stronger performance in Tennessee's second preseason scrimmage. Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan break down what they're hearing about the Vols' defense on the Big Orange Podcast, why Tennessee finally appears to be developing a defensive identity and the one position that still creates some legitimate concern entering the 2026 college football season. Tennessee's defense reportedly bounced back in a major way during the Vols' second scrimmage. The defense created multiple turnover opportunities against Faizon Brandon and George MacIntyre, while Tennessee's defensive front generated pressure and players such as Xavier Gilliam continued to create optimism along the interior. More importantly, Josh Heupel believes the defense is developing a personality under Jim Knowles. That's a potentially significant development for a Tennessee defense that struggled with communication, consistency and identity last season. Charlie and Zach explain why Knowles' ability to build his scheme around the strengths of Tennessee's personnel could put the Vols' defenders in a much better position to succeed. The goal doesn't have to be creating an elite defense immediately. Tennessee simply needs to make a substantial improvement from what it put on the field last season. There are still questions. Edge rusher remains one of the biggest concerns on Tennessee's roster. The Vols don't have much proven SEC production at the position, which could put additional pressure on Tennessee's interior defensive line to generate a consistent pass rush. The guys also discuss Daevin Hobbs' health, Jordan Norman's opportunity, the development of Tennessee's secondary after the loss of Edrees Farooq and why getting linebacker Arion Carter back for the Georgia Tech game is such an important development. Carter's NCAA suspension has officially been reduced to one game, meaning he'll miss Tennessee's season opener against Furman but will be eligible to return when the Vols travel to face Georgia Tech. And, of course, Tennessee finally has its starting quarterback. Josh Heupel officially named five-star true freshman Faizon Brandon the Vols' QB1 after his competition with George MacIntyre. Charlie and Zach briefly discuss why Brandon was the right choice and why the freshman's combination of talent, maturity and upside makes his future in Josh Heupel's offense so exciting. Has Jim Knowles already changed Tennessee's defense? Can the Vols generate enough pressure off the edge? How much improvement does this unit need to make in 2026? And what should Tennessee fans expect when the Vols finally take the field? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Tennessee Vols have officially named true freshman Faizon Brandon their starting quarterback for the 2026 college football season. Austin Stanley fills in for Charlie Burris alongside Zach Ragan for an immediate Big Orange Podcast reaction to Josh Heupel selecting Brandon over redshirt freshman George MacIntyre. Brandon entered Tennessee as a five-star prospect and continued building momentum throughout spring practice, summer workouts and fall camp. Although MacIntyre had an additional year inside Heupel's offense, Brandon's arm talent, athleticism, playmaking ability and command of the system proved enough to win the job. Austin and Zach explain why Heupel made the more difficult—and potentially more consequential—decision by starting Brandon immediately. Heupel could have given MacIntyre the opening assignment and maintained an easier path to Brandon later. Instead, Tennessee committed to the 18-year-old true freshman as its QB1 entering the season opener against Furman. What are fair expectations for Brandon during his freshman season? Austin examines the production of first-year starting quarterbacks in Heupel's offense, while Zach projects Brandon to complete approximately 60 percent of his passes, throw for roughly 2,600 to 2,900 yards and finish with fewer than 10 interceptions. They also discuss how DeSean Bishop, Tennessee's offensive line and an experienced group of pass catchers can help Brandon through the inevitable growing pains of playing quarterback in the SEC. Brandon's mobility could provide another important dimension. Tennessee has struggled in certain short-yardage and red-zone situations during the Heupel era, and Brandon's size and athleticism could help turn stalled possessions into touchdowns. The conversation also examines what Brandon's victory means for George MacIntyre. Tennessee still needs to develop MacIntyre as a legitimate second option, especially during early games against Furman and Kennesaw State. MacIntyre has only nine collegiate pass attempts, and the Vols cannot afford for his first meaningful experience to arrive unexpectedly against Georgia Tech, Texas or another SEC opponent. How long is Brandon's leash now that he has already defeated MacIntyre for the job? Could the quarterback competition reopen if Brandon struggles? And what could this decision eventually mean for MacIntyre in the transfer portal? Austin and Zach break down every layer of Josh Heupel's biggest decision entering the 2026 Tennessee football season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Tennessee Vols will begin the 2026 college football season ranked No. 20 in the preseason AP Top 25, but ESPN's Heather Dinich isn't convinced Tennessee should be ranked at all. Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan react to Dinich's criticism of Tennessee on the Big Orange Podcast and debate whether the national skepticism surrounding Josh Heupel's team is actually justified. Tennessee enters the season with legitimate questions. Josh Heupel still has a major quarterback decision to make between Faizon Brandon and George MacIntyre, while the Vols also have uncertainty along the defensive line as Jim Knowles prepares for his first season running Tennessee's defense. But are those questions really enough to leave Tennessee completely outside the Top 25? That's where Charlie and Zach disagree with the ESPN criticism. The Vols aren't being given the benefit of the doubt as an elite College Football Playoff contender at No. 20. Instead, they're sitting directly in the range where a talented but uncertain Tennessee roster arguably belongs entering the season. Zach explains why Tennessee may also have one of the wider ranges of outcomes among teams in the preseason rankings. If the Vols get strong quarterback play from Brandon or MacIntyre and Tennessee's defensive front performs well, this could potentially become a Top 10-caliber team. If those questions aren't answered? Tennessee could look much more like a borderline Top 25 team. Charlie and Zach also examine the rest of the 2026 preseason AP Top 25 and question why Tennessee is being singled out when programs throughout the rankings have significant uncertainties of their own. Are Texas A&M and Ole Miss deserving of their lofty preseason rankings? What should we expect from Penn State? How much confidence should voters have in programs undergoing coaching transitions? And how much should any preseason poll actually mean in the transfer portal era? The guys also discuss why the first few weeks of the college football season could dramatically reshape these rankings and which highly ranked teams they believe could be vulnerable. Is Tennessee properly ranked at No. 20? Is ESPN overlooking the Vols' upside? Or are the quarterback and defensive-line questions significant enough to keep Tennessee outside the Top 25?

The Tennessee Vols quarterback battle between Faizon Brandon and George MacIntyre may finally be starting to take shape after Tennessee's first major preseason scrimmage. Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan break down everything coming out of the Vols' scrimmage on the Big Orange Podcast, including the growing buzz around true freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon, George MacIntyre's performance, Tennessee's surprisingly encouraging offense and some legitimate concerns surrounding Jim Knowles' defense. The biggest takeaway may be what happened at quarterback. According to reports coming out of the scrimmage, Brandon made several impressive plays and continued building chemistry with Tennessee wide receivers Mike Matthews and Braylon Staley. MacIntyre didn't necessarily have a bad day, either — and that's exactly why the situation is so encouraging for Josh Heupel and Tennessee. Instead of one quarterback simply making fewer mistakes, Brandon may be starting to actively win the job. Charlie and Zach discuss why another strong performance in Tennessee's second scrimmage could potentially put Brandon in position to emerge as QB1 before the Vols turn their full attention toward the 2026 season. The offense provided plenty of other encouraging developments as well. Tennessee's running back room could become an important part of helping a young quarterback, with DeSean Bishop leading a group that also includes Javin Gordon and D'Mon Marable. The Vols also appear to have legitimate weapons at wide receiver with Matthews, Staley and several other options competing for roles. But what does an impressive offensive scrimmage mean for Tennessee's defense? That's where the conversation gets more complicated. Charlie and Zach discuss their concerns about Tennessee's defensive line and pass rush as Jim Knowles installs his defense. They also examine how much confidence Vols fans should have in the unit entering the season and whether the defensive front can hold up against the better offensive lines Tennessee will face. The secondary is dealing with adversity as well after the injury to Edrees Farooq. The Big Orange Podcast discusses what his absence means for Tennessee's safety depth, the opportunity for DeJuan Lane and Dylan Lewis, and the late addition of Tennessee Tech defensive back Monty Hunt. Is Faizon Brandon beginning to take control of Tennessee's quarterback competition? How concerned should Vols fans actually be about the defense? And what should we be watching when Tennessee holds its second scrimmage? Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan break it all down on the A to Z Sports Big Orange Podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

A major college eligibility ruling could deliver significant roster help to both Tennessee football and Tennessee basketball—but the NCAA is already attempting to fight it.Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan explain the NCAA's transition toward a five-years-to-play-five-seasons eligibility model and a Tennessee judge's injunction allowing athletes from the 2022 recruiting class to receive a fifth season during the 2026–27 athletic year.Could former Tennessee Vols defensive lineman Jaxson Moi return to Knoxville for the 2026 college football season? Moi previously pursued another season of college eligibility before signing with the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted NFL free agent. His recent social media reaction created speculation about a possible Tennessee return, but NCAA guidance concerning athletes who have signed professional contracts could prevent it.Charlie and Zach discuss whether Moi could realistically leave the NFL and rejoin Josh Heupel's Tennessee football roster. The Vols have talent along the defensive line, but much of that depth remains unproven. A veteran player and respected teammate such as Moi could provide valuable experience for defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and defensive line coach Rodney Garner.The eligibility ruling has also created a major development for Rick Barnes and Tennessee basketball. Former Vanderbilt and North Carolina center Jalen Washington has committed to the Vols after serving as a lead plaintiff in the eligibility lawsuit.Washington is a 6-foot-10 fifth-year player who averaged approximately nine points and five rebounds for Vanderbilt last season. His experience, size and SEC production could provide Tennessee basketball with important frontcourt depth as Rick Barnes builds a roster capable of making another deep NCAA Tournament run.However, the NCAA plans to appeal the injunction. Could Washington begin the season for Tennessee and then face another eligibility ruling during the year? Charlie and Zach examine the remaining uncertainty and why college coaches, players and fans can no longer confidently predict which eligibility rules will apply.The conversation also explores the NCAA's declining authority, potential congressional involvement in college athletics, Danny White's support for collective bargaining and the urgent need for a sustainable structure governing college football and basketball.Subscribe to A to Z Sports Tennessee for Tennessee Vols news, Tennessee football recruiting, Tennessee basketball updates, SEC football analysis, transfer portal news and year-round coverage of Josh Heupel, Rick Barnes and the Big Orange.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Jim Nesbitt, author of the book The Fatal Saving Grace. Award-winning author Jim Nesbitt has written five hard-boiled Texas crime thrillers that feature an indelible protagonist, Dallas private eye Ed Earl Burch, a cashiered homicide detective with bad knees, a wounded liver and an empty bank account. He's smart, tough, profane and reckless: nobody's hero—and nobody's fool.   Drawing on four decades as a journalist chasing hurricanes, presidential candidates, neo-Nazis, cops, crooks and cowboys, Nesbitt writes hard-hitting novels bristling with relentless action, pulse-racing plots, solid storylines and a colorful cast of characters. Gritty and remorseless, these stories take readers on a thrill ride that runs from the gleaming towers of Dallas and Houston to the stark desert mountains of the Texas Big Bend country and northern Mexico.   This is hard-boiled detective fiction at its finest -- taut, tense and uncompromising sagas of revenge and redemption. With his pitch-perfect voice and keen eye for detail, Jim Nesbitt has created extraordinary tales centered on a main character like no other: the deeply flawed but wildly compelling Ed Earl Burch. They are damned good stories exceptionally well-told.   A lapsed horseman, pilot and saloon sport with a keen appreciation of old guns, vintage cars and tractors, red meat, good cigars, aged whisky without an “e”; and a well-told story, Nesbitt is also a diehard Tennessee Vols fan, who now lives in enemy territory -- Athens, Alabama -- with his wife, Pam. He is working on his sixth Ed Earl Burch novel, THE PERFECT TRAIN WRECK.   In my book review, I stated The Fatal Saving Grace is Book 5 of the Ed Earl Burch Hard-Boiled Texas Crime Thrillers series by Jim Nesbitt. I enjoyed this crime thriller and the crusty old character of Ed Earl Burch. This felt like a cross between an old western and a noir fiction with characters that weren't all good or all bad. In fact, Jim had me hoping that one of the bad guys might not have to face prison time.   Burch, as he is known to his peers, was once a lawman but had his badge taken away. Then he spent the next couple of decades as a PI before getting a badge again. However, the transition from "do anything as long as you don't get caught" to "follow the law" isn't easy on Burch or those he works with. This is especially true when it becomes apparent that a killer they thought was dead is very much alive and back at the killing game. Throw in the Aryan Brotherhood, the Dixie-Mafia, drug turf wars, and over-inflated lawman egos, and you've got a story worth reading.   NOTE: This is not a clean book. There is some rather graphic killing scenes and a bit of loud sex, but none of it felt out of character for the protagonist or his world.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Jim Nesbitt Website: https://jimnesbittbooks.com/ FB: @edearlburchbooks Substack: @edearl56   Purchase The Fatal Saving Grace on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4mmDX5z Ebook: https://amzn.to/3O0RTFE   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

The Tennessee Volunteers face a season-defining challenge as Joey Aguilar is ruled out, thrusting young quarterbacks Faizon Brandon and George MacIntyre into the spotlight. Can Josh Heupel recalibrate offensive expectations while maintaining championship ambitions in the fiercely competitive SEC? Brian Smith and Eric Cain weigh in on the fanbase's unwavering demands, the implications of a freshman quarterback under center, and how matchups against Texas, Auburn, and Alabama could shape the Vols' 2026 narrative. Key discussions focus on the emergence of playmakers like Mike Matthews and Braylon Staley, the crucial role of Tennessee's veteran offensive line and 1,000-yard rusher DeSean Bishop, and concerns about defensive depth—especially with a brutal back-half schedule featuring Texas A&M, LSU, and Kentucky. With a complex new defense and pressure mounting, which breakout stars could shift the season's trajectory, and will Vols fans adjust their expectations because of the quarterback uncertainty?

The Tennessee Volunteers face a seismic shift as a judge rules against Joey Aguilar, leaving the quarterback spot wide open. Can true freshman Faizon Brandon rise to the challenge and ignite the Vols' offense despite his youth? Recruiting analyst Brian Smith breaks down why Brandon's elite processing ability, athleticism, and adaptability make him a leading contender—posing the question: Is the future now for Rocky Top under Josh Heupel's simplified scheme? Key topics include the Vols' revamped expectations, the impact of Jim Knowles joining as defensive coordinator, and how stars like Braylon Staley and Mike Matthews anchor a veteran lineup. The schedule's turning points—from marquee SEC clashes with Texas, Alabama, at Texas A&M, and LSU—are analyzed, along with how Tennessee's NIL landscape and portal strategy shape their outlook. Will the Volunteers prove doubters wrong and compete for the SEC crown, or is 2024 a building year with even bigger things ahead?
