I wouldn't be suprised to see him bring the Cinci DC here.


Edit: 3mil available for a staff. He can do better.

hiring a good DC is now the most important thing for our program, I think Shannon would be a good hire.

No matter who we promote or hire as DC we will still have the most overpaid linebacker coach with Sal's ridiculous contract, unless Jones says go be on the biggest loser

Narduzzi at Michigan State would be a great hire. Jones has ties to him already. He only makes 500 grand a year. He did turn down a couple head coaching gigs and a raise to join Sumlin at A&M. I think he would be one of the best hires available. IMO, he is a million dollar type hire.

What about Jones's DC? They had a good d in Cincinnati that caused a lot of turnovers.

Here's my short list:

#1 - Zook (top 5 recruiter and lots of experience in SEC, plus ex VOL coach)
#2 - Shannon (great recruiter, can work Florida recruits better then almost anyone, great DC experience)
#3 - Raheem Morris (could be a great recruiter with NFL experience, lots of DC experience at high level)
#4 - Lance Thompson (If we miss out on those 3, I think we should offer Lance the chance to be our DC. He's an awesome recruiter, players coach, and has a high ceiling as DC)

At the time, I felt it was a boneheaded move to promote a guy from the same position (LB coach) and from the same defense, over Lance. Lance had been a DC at a higher level than Sal, and in fact was hired from his DC spot (UCF) to join Saban at Bama.

Monte Kiffin raved about Lance's defensive mind and took him under his wing when he was here. Then Lance got to coach under Wilcox, who had a good resume (including beating Oregon when he was with Boise State). So, that's exposure to a lot of good defenses. It would've made sense, under the volatile circumstances, to just promote Lance, and keep a lot of defensive continuity.

Lance was right. Had he stayed, there is a very good chance he'd have saved Dooley's job.

I was in the minority on this one as well, I thought when the Randy Shannon news went down in flames, why not give Lance a shot at it.

I bet CBJ brings almost his entire staff. I don't even think JG being retained is a done deal yet, although I believe it will. S/C coach, IMO is the only one that has been officially told that they wouldn't be retained. I hope he gets Tee and retains JG, but we need a defensive player recruiting f'guru bad for us to compete. Sal being retained? who knows. The chief coming back?

Tyrone Nix is at MTSU, and has SEC experience. Missed on Oklahoma job and landed there last minute.

Steele s a head case and couldn't handle pressure in ACC. SEC would send him over the cliff.

I like this list. I would swap morris and Shannon though I think morris would be a big name that we need for recruiting plus he is proven at the highest level. Zook would be a great hire and he was actually on the sports animal bout a week ago talking bout the UT job and sounded kinda passionate bout UT football and talking how great a job it is.
