Is there a possibility Sly Croom could end up here as a position coach? Honestly, I haven't heard any rumors or anything but I know he has the experience.

I may be wrong but I expect Lane will keep at least one if not two holdovers from the previous staff. I like the guy being mentioned by Hubbs for S and C coach----he's a 1998 UT grad---pretty good year eh.
Michael with his NFL experience, may get a spot; and I think either Scott or Drayton is staying. Wonder if Clawson is going to get an interview at UTC?

i think Freeze is a snake. He used his best player to get a job at UT until Oher decided he was going to Ole Miss and then Freeze magically gets hired there. I don't care how good he might be; I don't wanna him anywhere near my beloved Vols.

I'm new here to volnation, but a long time Tennessee fan. I just read on Tamba Bay's website that in Lane's meeting with the team he told them that his dad, Monte, will be joining him at Tennessee.

This staff will have no excuses. It will be the best staff in the SEC. If UT can just get some players with them, things may be pretty good.

I have totally lost my respect for Kiffin. I thought we had a great HC. But when I heard Callahan was on his list as a potential coach that shows me he is not the guy I thought we had. Kiffin needs to look at that Callahan did to Nebraska. If Kiffin likes Callahan I don't like Kiffin. It's a shame because I love Tennessee football. Callahan style of football is not worth the cost of the electricity a TV uses to show the game. . If callahan is hired mark my word. Hamilton will be looking for a job in three years. It's possible Fulmer will be the new AD.

Yes, he is so bad that he took the Raiders to the Super Bowl and is currently the Jets OC.

Technically he took Gruden’s Oakland team to the super bowl.…imo. And I believe he is only an OL coach at the Jets…not positive on that one. I do believe Callahan is a great OL coach but I really would not want him calling the plays. Either way I have full trust that Kiffin is going to put the best staff together possible, and if that means Callahan as OC I am all for it.

Yeah, you are right. He is the OL coach, which is basically what he would be here, ala Trooper. He'd be the OL coach, OC in name, and 2nd opinion to Kiffin on the offense.

It's treading a thin line as far as Callahan/Gruden. Maybe he won with Gruden's team. Maybe Gruden won with Dungy's team. Maybe Urb won with Zook's team.

Agreed.

I think we could do much worse. I'd love to have Marrone or Bates or someone like that. Callahan would fit in with most of the other top candidates. They will mostly be brought in to be Kiffin's 2nd hand man as play caller and a really good position coach.

husker fans a little bitter????

Callahan may not be a great college HC, but he has a very good O orientated mind. Nebraska's offense was really good. He did a good job with Oakland (Grudens players or not) and is still doing a good job in the NFL. Not everyone is a great HC. Look at Norv Turner, Mike Martz, Jerry Glandville, ect..... Great minds that may not have the knack for detail needed to be a HC (especially college) A coach does more in college than the NFL.

Get over your down troden Huskers. They have NO recruiting base. They play with Texas and Oklahoma every year. they can't recruit florida anymore or New Jersey like they used to. Tom Osborne isn't walking thru the door anytime soon!
the "black shirts" are now "light gray"

I don't know if it has been posted, but they said on the radio this morning (Hyams I think it was) that Tom Rathman may be coming from Oakland as well.

Under Callahan's guidance, the Raiders led the NFL in passing for the first time in team history and led the league in total offense for just the second time in team history.

So does this mean he did better on O then Gruden did? Not saying he is better than Gruden but the man can coach some O. I would say better than 95 percent of the coaches in college football without legitimate argument. He may overall as a HC be no good. But he can be my OC any day.

Isn't he the AD at Nebraska? I guess he is walking through the door a lot.

On to a more important issue, is there any news on coach O or any other candidates for our staff. Who's coming, not coming, anything?
