McClendon is priority. Groh would be a great hire as well.

Is Rock Gullickson being retained as the s and c coach?
Click to expand...

I believe it was Hyams on a call in to WGFX Monday morning that said that all position coaches but Gillespie were terminated, but that Gullickson, Welton, & Stripling were told to continue doing what they were doing. This makes sense in that Pruitt can focus on hiring coaches and recruiting, while these three can focus on current players and keeping routine going. But does not guarantee these three will have jobs long term.

He would be my absolute last choice. He's Shady AF and there's gotta be a reason he's not at a better school. He's a good recruiter but that's outweighed by his shadiness and wasn't the best WR coach. I do not trust that dude on the recruit trail.

When do you recall troopers WR core ever dropping as many passses as we have seen "since" the Dooley era?🤔

I "caught" a few minutes of Hyams today. While listening, he and a guest reporter talked briefly about the vacant WR and ST positions. The name they spoke about for WR coach was Bryan McClendon. Neither Hyams or the reporter had a name connected with the ST position, but the reporter said it is believed that the ST coach must be a great recruiter as this coach will mainly be doing recruiting.

I wasn't comparing him to Dooley. Don't even understand the relevance in that. Last I saw Dooley Wasn't one of the 5 coach's listed. He's very Shady as a recruiter and do not trust him. And if he was that great he wouldn't be at Ark St. Just sayn..

He was saying Trooper was a good coach. The Dooley thing was talking about how receivers have dropped a lot of passes from Dooley's time til now (2010-present).

Ah ok. I completely missed that. Trooper was a decent WR coach and definitely better than anything Dooley or Butch had. I've just heard too many shady recruiting done by Trooper, especially when he was at Auburn. I trust Kiffin more than Trooper when it comes to shady recruiters. His bad outweighs the good.

Are they going to wait until the staff is filled out before making official announcements? It seems weird that Friend and Fair are already meeting recruits but nothing has been officially announced by the Athletic Dept.

I don't know for sure, but I think Fulmer can only recruit until the staff is officially filled up. So, if he is out recruiting, then it makes sense there aren't any official anouncements... want to stretch the rule as much as possible. At least, that's what I am thinking.

Didn't Trooper get in trouble a few years ago with the NCAA? I seem to remember it was at the job he took after Tennessee.

You are correct. Right now limited to 9 coaches, so Fulmer can be on the road until all nine are in place. Sometime early next year, a tenth coach can be added.

RE wide receiver coach, they should get Kippy out of retirement for his fourth stint as our WR coach. He started Wide Receiver U. A few receivers he coached: Lenny Taylor, Clyde Duncan, Tim McGee, Joey Clinkscales, Anthony Miller, Alvin Harper, Anthony Morgan, Carl Pickens, Cory Fleming, Joey Kent, & Marcus Nash.
