Staff Rank

[amavol2]

With so much said about head coaches, if you throw out the head coach, where would Tennessee be ranked in the SEC?

Pruitt hasn't coached a game yet, but based off his resume he's a top 25 coach. Imo.

Probably somewhere in the middle of the SEC:
-Rocker and Friend have solid track records
-Helton is an unknown as is Sherrer/Rumph as coordinators
-Weinke is relatively new to coaching as is Neidermeyer
-Kelly and Johnson are solid coaches
-Not sure about Fair

Tied for dead last with the other first year staffs who haven't achieved anything yet. Once the wins start accumulating we can start arguing about how good they are. Anything he might have clung onto as an assistant is out the window at this point.

I cant answer the question.

I have not seen him coach a single game as a head coach.

I'll give you an answer on that after the season.

Tough crowd.

I think it's a really good staff top to bottom. It's filled with coaches with proven experience but plenty to prove. That can be a powerful recipe.
If they fail it wont be from ignorance, lack of preparation or lack of effort.
I'm ok with that.

Many want to take a wait and see attitude and that’s fine. However, one can look at each coaches history and the successes and failures of each staff in the SEC. I feel Sherrer and Rumph along with Friend and David Johnson are as good as anyone else.

The head coach is filling in the knowledge gaps for every position coach and the SC coach- footwork should have been learned in the summer...

 

[RollerVol]

if you cut off the head of a snake what would be left......from what I know and their history we have a pretty good staff, just kinda untested here and this season will tell us more as it goes along...



GO VOLS!

Loaded Question, no one knows at this point in time and those that state their personal opinions are only using conjecture, in truth.
Go Vols

Top 3 imo

Our staff has lots of potential based on past experience. Several are taking a step up, so they have something to prove.
I strongly believe great teams are made one player at a time. We have coaches that have a track record of developing players. Also our coaches that are stepping up have worked beside some great coaches.
I have confidence our coaches will get the job done.
Also I don’t think Pruitt will allow a coach to fail week after week. He will step in and fix it because he wants to win.

I expect our staff to be in the top 5.

 

[Big Mike]

Too early to rate their coaching, however I will give them a solid B so far for their recruiting results.

 

[landscapingvol]

I don't think most could name the "best" staff in the SEC either if we are being honest with ourselves. Georgia? Alabama? Auburn? I couldn't name a single member of their staffs outside of the head coach.

This is where I think the staff is also.
