Interesting staff stat

[tnvols72]

I'm also lukewarm on Jancek. Hope he's tightened up his play-calling/coaching since leaving UGA. Outside of him as DC I'm satisfied with the staff right now. Bajakan, Martinez, Thigpen, Stripling, Graham all look like good hires to me. Now all I have to do is get over my worries about the offensive scheme working in the SEC.

Janeck wasn't calling plays at UGA and most Ga fans I have talked to like Janeck and thought Martinez was a great position coach. Just was in over his head as DC .

He should of called plays instead of Willie. Jancek out coached James Franklin while he was the dc at cincy.

I'm not sure if it will translate into wins and I know many out there have been wondering about the "best staff in the country" quote but this is something I found interesting.

Below are the number of years our new coaches have spent working with Butch as their boss. All told this staff has 34 years combined experience working with Jones as HC. That's an average of 3.4 years spent with BJ when counting all 10 coaching spots. I though it sounded impressive in the constant staffing turmoil you see these days.
It may mean little but they should hit the ground running if nothing else. As a side note Martinez and Jancek also have a number of years spent together.

Bajakian (OC) - 3 @ CMU & 3 @ Cinci
Jancek (DC) - 3 @ Cinci
Stripling (DL) - 1 @ CMU & 3 @ Cinci
Mahoney (OL) - 3 @ CMU & 3 @ Cinc
Elder (TE) - 3 @ CMU & 3 @ Cinc
Azzanni (WR) - 3 years CMU
Lawson (S&C) - 3 @ CMU & 3 @ Cinc

Are you going to change your user name to BJ4ME? :good!:

I don't mind the hire but Tn needs a DC that out coaches Saban , Richt ,Muschamp. Franklin isn't the standard that you want to judge your DC on.
I'm willing to give him a chance after what we seen last year.

From what I've heard, Jancek didn't do much play calling and Martinez is much better suited to be a position coach. We have the personnel to run a pretty decent Tampa 2.

As for what this style of offense can do in the SEC given the right players, see Florida '06 '08, Auburn '10, Texas A&M '12.

I also think we have a good balance of recruiting and teaching. The teaching is obviously hard to quantify but by that I mean coaches who clearly know the schemes we will run and the playbook.

Overall I like the staff especially Thigpen, Stripling, Mahoney, Bajakian and obviously CJG. I'm lukewarm with Jancek at DC and not the least bit excited with the Azzanni hire from a recruiting standpoint.

Damn dude, you really have it out for Azzanni...

Someone please inform coach Azzanni the Vol Navy has pointed several cruise missles in his general direction and only a captured 4 or 5 star recruit can stop the launch!
