Potential Coaching Staff Members (list)

[Midfielder10]

I read many SEC boards and the general consensus is that Orgeron is the only good coach on the staff. Many people are stunned that Wilson managed to land a job at UT. One poster said that he must be paying Tennessee to coach there rather than the other way around.

alabama and florida boards don't count. Plus i trust Kiffin's opinion than some random fan for a rival team.

Midfielder is always bringing up what other fan boards are saying...sometimes it's good info, however this time it just sounds like people bad mouthing us...some would call it sour grapes.

Ask anyone who is actually familiar with Frank Wilson...and I promise you they will say two things..

Great coach, and even better man.

What we are seeing is INTIMIDATION,,, it has to be very intimidating to see what we are doing in Knoxville.
Those on top at the moment see the day when we will be knocking them off and those that are down the list are envious of what Tennessee is doing to 'make it happen'

I know most of us probably already read this, but Drayton has been hired on at Syracuse

 

[govols87]

well...I know the theory is that we wanted to build relationships with his recruits, but I don't buy that as a reason to why he was kept on so long. I hope there's a more ethical reason.

He stayed on so long because he was getting paid to do so. It was his job. Kiffin didn't keep him from looking for another job.

Drayton was Plan D. If Gran, Wilson, Gonzales, or really everyone else turned CLK down, then he would have been retained. Glad he is gone, wish him luck.

 

[vols496]

So... Mitch Browning for GA. Seems a little surprising. I guess this shows just how well respected our staff is by other coaches.

When's the last time you heard of an offensive coordinator coming from a BCS conference to become a GA?

 

[vols496]

Drayton goes to Syracuse, and we get Browning from Syracuse as a GA.
...
:compute:

Sounds good to me!

 

[BeecherVol]

I think Lane brought him in to have another option in the future. IMO
Or he is just hanging here til' he runs across a job he likes. In the meantime working with a great staff.

 

[OrangePappy]

Does this mean we need to pay more attention to our new GAs?

yes

 

[The Dude]

I too am worried about this staff's coaching capabilities. They seem like recruiters rather than coaches.

Yeah, with half of them having coached in the NFL last year..

The Dude abides....

 

[vols kick balls]

salaries added.

 

[kkep48]

So what's the deal with Browning and the guy from UNC... are they on staff as of yet?

 

[Tennessee Jack]

If that list lands just 5-6 of those names, I will be EXTREMELY happy.

Eric, I went back to page one to review some of the early comments. You said 5-6 names would make you extremely happy. It looks like we got 4, how happy are you? :dance:

 

[oldvol61]

I do not know about eric i am very, very happy. did i said i was happy!!

 

[vols496]

Thanks for putting the salaries up.
And, I am more than pleased with the finalized coaching staff. Is it too much to hope for a NC from the '09 season?
Has it been confirmed that Browning is coming on as a GA?

 

[RiskManagementVol]

I would say that it might be a tad too much to hope for a NC in '09, but I do see it in the future....
