Yes, nice job VKB..And everyone that contributed.

 

[BeecherVol]

Great thread.

I personally will not forget the Coach O saga.

 

[Oldblood]

Thanks for making sense of this mess until it was completed, VKB.

 

[TheVol]

Great thread while it lasted. Always the first one I checked. Nice job VKB.

 

[Sabanocchio]

I can't wait to see the total salaries of the coaches and where it stacks up with the rest of the league.

 

[NYYVol]

Great thread.

I personally will not forget the Coach O saga.

"As the Orgeron Turns" was fun.

did i miss who was going to coach ST's? I see that Gran and Wilson have time along those lines- but our ST's need a strong presence.

Isn't one of the new hires also another recruiting coordinator?

 

[hvwarrior58]

Wilson was the RC at USM.

 

[vols kick balls]

Gran will do STs. Wilson was USM's RC.

 

[hvwarrior58]

6 of the 10 coaches are previous RCs. Monte may have been back in the day at NCSU. Cregg hasn't. Gran may have been at some time. WMG may have been as well at one point.

 

[BeecherVol]

Wilson was the RC at USM.

He sounds like a hidden gem.

 

[VOL61]

This staff certainly looks like a force in recruiting.

Kiffin, Orgeron, Reaves, Thompson, and Gran!!!!

The only thing I would have liked to seen someone with strong VA/D.C. ties. I thought someone would have been hired for that area. I guess Reaves and Kiffin will cover it. But overall I would give the staff , on recruiting anyway, an A+

 

[RangerVol]

Trying to contain my enthusiasm until they put the pads back on, BUT HEC$^ YEAH!!!!

You can't tell me that many former recruiting coordinators won't pay off quickly- especially as he appears to have spread them around geographically.

I am in the heart of Auburn and Gran has a good rep and the Tigers always seem to have good RB's and ST's.

For a young coach who "doesn't know what to do in college" Kiffin keeps stumblin' and bumblin' like a mad genius. GO VOLS!!!
:clapping:

 

[VolsZealot]

It sounds like a great staff. I would have like to have added gonzo to the staff . I guess that was really a long shot anyhow. who will the WR coach be?

 

[mattvols]

Everything looks great, i guess the only real wild card is garza from NDST

 

[Tampavolz]

Thanks to VKB for tis thread, it was a great way to spend some time and very entertaining.

I would expect:
Garza and Chaney to recruit out west,
Thompson, MK, O and Wilson in the South,
Gran and MK in Florida,
Reaves in Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland
LK to go National
Don't know about Cregg, maybe out west as well?

"Tennessee is busy putting together the most notable coaching staff in the history of the tradition rich football program that spans 118 years."

 

[tennessee391]

our staff owns.

 

[RiskManagementVol]

I agree....thanks to VKB for the thread.....it was always one of the first I looked at when I logged on....

 

[overseasvolfan]

can't wait to get back to the states can ypu say a sold out orange and white game lol

 

[matts42012]

great thread VKB

 

[OakRidgeVol]

This is an ingenious plan by CLK...steal all the SEC's top recruiters and have them recruit for you. Of course we didn't get all of them, just 3 but it kind sounded like Orgeron would go to LSU (right?) and we almost got Garner and it sounded like we were going after Gonzalez. Were we able to steal Garner and Gonzalez, there would have been no stopping this recruiting machine!

 

[Volsfan4243]

I think that Thompson fits in better coaching wise. They would not have to move Coach O to LB's so Garner could catch DL. Gonzales may have been good but Wilson is a great recruiter as well. Gonzales has proven he can recruit Florida guys to play in Florida but Wilson can recruit anywhere and his resume proves that. When Coach O won recruiter of the year, Wilson was by his side. They have a good working relationship. That goes a long way with chemistry among the staff. I think this staff is very good.

 

[govols87]

Well, no one can make fun of UT's staff anymore like they have for the last ten years.
