Remember James Wilhoit? Maybe you have fond memories of his goat-to-hero trick for the University of Tennessee Volunteers against Florida in 2004. Maybe you remember him booting one nearly 60 yards for the Hendersonville Commandos against Dickson County in 2001. These days, Wilhoit does one-on-one training for high school kickers hoping to earn a scholarship, and like many Middle Tennesseans, he spends his Sundays watching the Titans. So when the smorgasbonk of Two-Tone kickers kept missing in the 2020 season, Wilhoit maybe had some better insight than the rest of us. Indeed, after another woeful Sunday with the boot, Wilhoit asked on Twitter why the Titans hadn’t hired a dedicated kicking adviser. During camp, Mike Vrabel announced the team had (finally) done just that … by bringing in Wilhoit to help out. Early returns were good: Sam Ficken looked solid and at times even great in the preseason. Careful what you tweet for: You just might get it.
