Ekeler is out - headed to Nebraska

[lilesrt]

Why leave a good situation? These coaches are restless souls.

I thought I saw a video of him talking how much he loved TN and Knoxville and couldn’t see himself leaving. Oh well, good luck.

Worse than appearing on a Wheaties box!

I'm fine with the move from the standpoint of coaching the Edge's and promoting Chop. But he's been a GREAT STs coach. Who coaches that now?

Now who is coach Chop?

Levorn Harbin - Senior Defensive Analyst - Football Support Staff - University of Tennessee Athletics

Piecing together what I have seen online, it seems likely we promote Coach Chop and and Special Teams Coordinator to Coach Inge. He coached special teams at Indiana a few years ago.

May his chili always be hot.

He’s from Nebraska. I thought he’d be here until his youngest graduated HS, rising SR. I’m sure she’ll land on the Nebraska VB team with her POY accolades shes bringing.

Good chance she stays, it will be her decision. She may want to stay, one more year left with a team and conference she is familiar with. GBO

lol why the hell would you choose to go there?

Nebraska volleyball is all they have

I see someones never had the pleasure of visiting the worlds longest porch swing in Hebron.

Get to living or get to dying Hoss

It's the birthplace of Kool Aid. Show some respect

This was so we could promote Coach Chop it would seem.

And have better recruiting than we were getting.

Ekeler wanted to get back close to his parents. He lobbied for the job very hard.. UT did not push him out.

Nope because Josh doesn’t push anyone out unless they do something horrible. They sure didn’t fight it though

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

A little slice of Heaven for a Corn Aficionado such as myself.

At least NB has the Platte River to drive along.

Kansas is like that awkward girl at the high school dance: flat, boring, and you never seem get anywhere.

 

[KnoxToTheBoro93]

Besides his great personality, I have no idea if our special teams were good or not. We rarely returned a punt or kick or faked anything.

Dee Williams, boo Carter, velus say hello lol…

 

[Ernie McCracken]

I like him, good coach. He is going to a train wreck though, a flaming dumpster fire. Wish him the best but they say you can't go home.....Good move? HMMM....

GBO

Really good player. She's committed to Georgia Southern, I believe. Not quite Nebraska level, though.

He's in his 50s. His folks are likely pretty old.

A football career is great but he won't starve on a B1G assistant salary.

Blood is thicker than pigskin.

 

[Majors]

Gotcha. Just saw she got a nice award figured she was a player like her sister.

Dee Williams, boo Carter, velus say hello lol…

You just listed 3 guys that are naturally gifted with ball in hand. I've seen far more fair catches and downed punts that I remember special returns. My point is only that I don't think we are losing some special teams wizard that schemed up key plays that helped us win any games.

 

[JohnWardForever]

****! The one assistant besides Garner I really wanted to hang onto!

Yep. The good ones are the ones Other teams want. And it looks like Ekeler is/was the only assistant under serious consideration at other Schools.

 

[OH-Vol]

Dee Williams, boo Carter, velus say hello lol…

Agreed, our Punt Returning and Field Goal kicking has been very good the past few years. Strangely we seem to get a lot of injuries on extra points unfortunately

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

This was so we could promote Coach Chop it would seem.

There’s no longer any rule on that

Been to Lincoln, in February, before global warming (lol). Hard pass for me. Sure am glad dad decided not to take the N job. That place was a shock for a middle GA kid.
