If that's all true... when their seasons are over.

For Dad... that could be quite a while. Also with Steele if his name is indeed in the hat.

kiffin says to be patient!!! Remember, good things come to those who wait!

But it is so dang hard!!!!

Well..he just terminated the coaching staff for the #4 defense in college football...not a good start IMO, although the Avatar agrees with the move~~~

Let's see. We are replacing Caldwell and Brooks with Orgeron, Slade with Joe Whitt Jr(possibly), and Chavis with Monte Kiffin. We may bring another coach along for LBs but we'll have to see. Not a bad start, imo.

you think there's anything to the Ken Norton Jr rumblings?

and it's hard to disagree.....i'm not going to hate on Chavis and co, they've been the most consistently good part of this program for the better part of this decade, but this needed to be a clean slate.

I liked Caldwell and Brooks alot and Chavis is solid. The new staff will be about 10x better at recruiting and all are great coaches.

Norton Jr is a possibility. I just don't know if he will come across country to take the same position here, especially when Orgeron is likely the DC in waiting.

Where did those Kevin Steele rumors come from again? Seemed like they sprouted up one day out of the blue and I haven't heard anything more about him...

Steele isn't too happy at Bama and he has obvious Tennessee ties. He could possibly come and be a LB coach and assistant DC. I know we've been given a good amount to spend on assistants (3-3.5 mil) but that is getting up there.

yeah, as things i guess have developed with O and Monte, i'm finding it hard to find a place for Steele on the staff, unless they just fork over some cash and his situation is that bad.

of course, i wouldn't be against it, and if he's going to be calling plays and in charge of the offense basically, he may require O and Steele run the defense as co-coordnators long term?
 
#215

There could be a situation like that. Steele and Orgeron as co DCs in waiting. That recruiting staff would just be wicked. Both Kiffins, Reaves, O, Steele, Whitt Jr. Not to mention whomever else we may bring in.
 
#217

yeah, i know drayton and scott are still on the payroll for now.......but other than Reaves and his brother chris......any speculation on who might be position coaches on the Off? O line? TE? QB?
 
#218
#218
Not sure what Chris will do yet. Reaves will deal with the QBs. No idea about the other positions either. I've heard possibly Yogi Roth for WRs and Hugh Freeze for TEs.

I could buy Orgeron coming along since he and CLK worked together before, but where would it benefit Steele...? Former Head Coach to Defensive Coordinator positions, to
Co-Defensive Coordinator...? I only see that happening if Orgeron doesn't come...one of them being the guy in waiting till Monte wants to hang it up makes perfect sense...Its a dream scenario I love at any rate...It sucks everything is shut down on the Defensive side until after the Bucs get knocked out of the playoffs...

i think its pretty smart to have almost all of your staff to be from the NFL (Monte is the biggest). bc alot of kids want to play in the nfl so when they r lookin at a college they r gonna say"now wheres the best school i can go and possibly get in the NFL?" "How about tennessee? i play safety and monte kiffin could teach me things that hes taught people in the NFL like barber,lynch,brooks,sapp."

Hmm, just looked at the potential staff thread. Very good list on there. A ton of potential NFL names as well.

Why would a UF coach take a lateral position to UT, unless there was a lot more money involved?
