First school to have two 1000 yard rushers, and they did it twice? Or they're the first school to have two 1000 yd rushers in back-to-back years?

Just curious.
First to have double 1k rushers in back to back years, AND for that production to come from 4 different backs. That last part speaks to UGA's recruiting more than Chaney but the production is real for doubters of Chaney's pass first scheme.

Could not have picked a more perfect fit:

“I’m thrilled to announce Jim Chaney as our offensive coordinator,” Pruitt said. “Jim couldn’t be a better fit for our program at the University of Tennessee. His track record of success guiding offenses speaks for itself from his time at Purdue with Drew Brees to his time in the NFL and his success in the SEC at Georgia, Arkansas, and, of course, previously with the Vols.

“What most impresses me about Jim is his knowledge of the game and also the way he has adapted his offenses to his players’ strengths. He’s had years where he has guided one of the nation’s top passing offenses and years where his offenses have been near the top in rushing. He could coach every position on offense and is a true teacher of the game.

“Jim has proven to be a great mentor for young men, and I’m excited to have him here at Tennessee.”

Getting me in the feels.

Welcome back big fella
 
Everyone of his QB's have made an NFL roster. Wow!

"Since returning to the college ranks in 2009, Chaney has coached 27 NFL Draft picks and 11 1,000-yard rushers. He also has seen all five of his draft-eligible starting quarterbacks get drafted or make an NFL roster."
Bodes well for JG

It has been Kiffin's staff by a mile and it wasn't even remotely close. Pruitt is gaining ground.
