It appears Garza had a drinking problem when he was at TCU...

Sounds like he would get along well with Majors.

 

[hvwarrior58]

Likely a reason that he never really moved up to a bigger school. He's always been a solid coach and supposedly a great recruiter with strong ties to Texas. The more I read about him, the more I like him, alot like Chaney.

Um...that's not good. :unsure:

 

[OrangePappy]

Was it a habitual problem or one time? Has He been arrested since then? If he knew he had a problem and got help for it then I have no problem with the man.

 

[govols87]

there's been no official confirmation on Drayton, right/

 

[hvwarrior58]

At this point, seems like the staff pans out like this:

HC-Lane Kiffin
OC/OL-Jim Chaney
QBs-David Reaves
WRs-Frank Wilson
RBs/STs-Eddie Gran
TEs-James Cregg

DC-Monte Kiffin
DL/RC-Ed Orgeron
LBs-Lance Thompson
DBs-Willie Mack Garza

SnC-Mark Smith

We still have to find a Director of blah blah blah, but that isn't a worry right now.

 

[hvwarrior58]

There's been no confirmation on Drayton but there isn't a position for him to coach, and Michaels is actually still on the staff so both are as good as gone.

 

[govols87]

I thought Michaels was officially off the staff...didn't he go to Syracuse>

 

[Volsguy12]

Nope. Michaels is still here.

Michaels is gone. Drayton is still on staff and still on the utsports Web site.

I have a feeling if these other coaches like Wilson don't play out then Gran will coach WR/ST and Drayton will stay as RB coach.

 

[govols87]

Kiffin even told a recruit that Jason Michaels was gone...KNS did an article on Jason Michaels leaving.

 

[Volsguy12]

Well not according to Hubbs lastnight. Said Michaels was upset about the story in the paper. I'm sure he'll be let go soon, but as of right now, he is still on campus.

 

[hvwarrior58]

Gran is not coming to coach WRs, bank on that. Drayton is gone, reported or not.

 

[tidwell]

Willie Mack Garza, who recently was hired at New Mexico but was not officially introduced there.

I think it was mentioned before that Orgeron was seen with a guy wearing a New Mexico shirt/jacket... could that have been Garza?

 

[BeecherVol]

Word has it, it was. Not confirmed, I don't think.

 

[TN_gal]

Yep, in retrospect, it was most likely him.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Chris Low just posted this... Looks like Wilson is a strong possibility.

ESPN - SEC

 

[BeecherVol]

Wilson sounds better to me, the more I read about him.

 

[vols kick balls]

Wilson sounds better to me, the more I read about him.

We will be a recruiting force in Louisiana with Wilson and O. One can't overstate how respected Wilson is down there.

 

[NYYVol]

Wilson sounds better to me, the more I read about him.

I gained a lot of respect for him from reading Meat Market...

 

[BeecherVol]

Great state to have aces in. LA is loaded with talent.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Good story here about Thompson coming on board and about his recruits finding out about the news... He did eventually get a hold of Richardson as well, who might be the only one who defects...

Another assistant coach bolts UA: Lance Thompson leaves for Tennessee - al.com

 

[hvwarrior58]

Wilson is another former RC. He was the RC at USM.

 

[BeecherVol]

HC - Lane

OC/OL - Chaney
TE - Cregg
WR - Wilson
RB - Gran
QB - Reaves

DC - Monte
DL - O
LB - LT
DB - Garza

ST - Gran

I like the make up of this staff.
