Michigan coming after Brian Jean-Mary... [official — He’s gone]

[Voldirector11]

Charlie strong as a replacement?

 

[Tman44]

he didn't open it up to keep him

I was more than money, it was also a DC title. He wasn't getting that here.

Kevin Steele

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

What’s the impact on recruiting / transfer portal with him leaving for Michigan?

We will probably lose a few

 

[Frosty]

We will probably lose a few

I doubt it

 

[butchna]

So Rodney Garner is on a two year contract? I'd fix that.

Coaches that are apart of winning programs will eventually move on. Let’s wish him well and go and find another LB coach. Not sure why Michigan since the title run this year and they are bound to come back to earth.

I used to be of the mindset to bring former UT players back to coach here. Now I am of the mindset that if they fit with the current coaching staff and culture of the team great, if they don't then don't even look at them. I want CJH to bring in someone that fits with his culture/coaching style/approach to team as a family mentality, so kick back and trust he knows who will be right for the team.

 

[eddievols]

Billy Jean King? Seriously, anybody but another Bama thing.

Good news is we have coaches that are wanted by NFL and college playoff contenders.

If Heuple names analysts to replace the coaches that are leaving instead of going outside the program to find qualified coaches we are in big trouble. You can’t keep keep dropping your standards because you are insecure of bringing any one new into the program you will end up in the same boat as Butch Jones did. Hire the best available like the top programs in the country does

I've been to Michigan. It's similar to upstate NY. F*** living there year round lol.

I live in upstate NY and can confirm.

I live in upstate NY and can confirm.

I grew up in the Saratoga Springs area

Al Wilson would be a home room hire or Raynoch Thompson would be to. I bet either would take the position

A meaningless defensive run game coordinator title I'm guessing something just to soften the buyout.

 

[LWSVOL]

I was more than money, it was also a DC title. He wasn't getting that here.

AP told me it was just the third year. UT would have made him CO-DC and money equal.

 

[LWSVOL]

For both RB and LB, or just LB?

Both appears

 

[T2P_Priceless]

AP told me it was just the third year. UT would have made him CO-DC and money equal.

Interesting they didn’t just offer a 3d year. Sounds like to me they knew there would be a counter to the counter and made their final offer as a token. Hopefully they have bigger plans

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Josh seems to be headed in a very different direction this time.

Based on what?

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

We will probably lose a few

We were already gonna lose a few

 

[sonofUT62]

Al Wilson would be a home room hire or Raynoch Thompson would be to. I bet either would take the position

Do either have coaching experience? Has Wilson achieved a 4 year degree which was at one time a requirement to be a member of the coaching staff?

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Simon says….Kevin Simon

He has no coaching experience does he? Can't hire a guy just because he played here. Unless his name is Al Wilson

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Pretty sure neither do. Simon was a scout in the NFL though

If we are going ex players, then I'm all in on hiring Jeremy Banks.

 

[sonofUT62]

If we are going ex players, then I'm all in on hiring Jeremy Banks.

Hope we can all agree that would be as LB coach and not RB.

 

[Deebowbear]

If BJM should depart for Michigan, who would be a likely replacement for him?

I’m sure that he has one on staff to promote with Analysis
