If Cut Leaves...

Not anytime in the near future, thankfully.

I know that Gus has written a book. However, I would rather have Fulmer running the show than anyone with no major college football OC track record.

If Cut leaves we'll have to go outside the program. Of course, CPF is petrified of doing such a thing, so he may just promote Adkins. Who knows.

I hope the RS experiment taught him to go elsewhere.

I think what gets lost alot in these conversations is that coaching isnt necessarity a heirarchy. What makes a good OC arent the same characteristics that go into making a good HC. Similarly, what makes a good position coach isnt always what makes a good OC or HC. Personally I would rather see CTT get the job based on the sucess he has had with all his positions so far, but also his role as a motivator, leader, and role model for the players. But arguably, I think he would one day be a better HC than OC.

Trooper Taylor would last one season as an offensive coordinator. A bad season.

I see nothing on his resume that indicates to me he would flourish in that position. He has coached two positions that are more about physical skill than technique or precision. I think people are moved by his gyrations and histrionics on the sidelines. I'm not impressed.

Cut is going nowhere. Word from the inside is, he'll retire from UT at a time of his choosing. He's staying as long as we'll have him.

Cease abusing the deceased equine.

With all due respect from your sources on the inside, that's not accurate.

more over, i don't know that i've ever heard about TT being involved in the overall strategic decison making throughout the course of a game or game plan.

Personnel is one thing...this is all together another.

i think he's proven he's a very good position coach, but nothing more as of yet.

Joe Bugel is regarded as an excellent OL coach in the NFL. But we've seen him bounce all the way to OC and HC, only to fail and go back OL.

Being a coordinator is altogether a different beast from jumping up and down and coaching a position.

Maybe Heath can be lured away from selling Real Estate.

Just kidding, I don't want to be nominated agian for the most idiotic post (Real UT).

I question the sincerity of your respect for my source. You may disagree, but there is no need to patronize.

We'll see.

thank you hatvol! i've thought this for about two years now. i think he's great to motivate players, but I don't know that he's done anything to show he can "coach"... give him a van and park down by the river and well, anyone that watched Chris Farely in SNL knows where i'm going

I didn't say Trooper was the favorite to get the OC position. I said interview him and hopefully keep him happy and he will continue to be our big time recruiter. Some people on here are so near sighted they have to have help with...oh never mind.

No, it has nothing to do with that. It's just he has made calls to some coaches about a potential staff at NC should he be offered the job; not that he would definitely take it, but the he is considering it. It also has to do with the fact that he said openly he wants to be a HC again. Further, he has not denied any interest in other jobs other than to say no comment.

First of all why are some of you throwing TT under the bus???

All he has done is improve the receivers about 500%. Not only are the catching passes, they are getting good yardage after the catch...oh and they are blocking downfield. It takes more than jumping around and motivation to obtain the results that we have seen on the field thus far with the receivers. I only wish that the oline was as good as the receivers. Whether or not TT is ready to be an OC, he has done a heck of a job this year.

My second point is that those who say Cut will never leave are in denial. He has made no bones about the fact that he wants to be a head coach again!!!!! If the Vols finish say 11 and 2 teams will come over Cut and he would prob go depending on the team.

TT has done a really good job coaching and recruiting. However, that has nothing to do with being an OC. That's all I'm saying. It's an entirely different type of job than coaching a position.

How about Kippy Brown. He's got OC experience under Jimmy Johnson (Miami Dolphins OC 1998-99), head coach in the failed XFL league, and tons more experience as a position coach in college and the NFL.
