"We told you last week that Richmond offensive assistant Jeff Durden was a name to watch. After some digging, we have learned that Tennessee interviewed Durden yesterday. We don't believe they are done interviewing candidates for the QB position."

Jeff Durden Offensive Coordinator
Coach Huesman wont be the only member of the coaching staff with experience in winning national championships after bringing Durden on board as the Spiders new offensive coordinator. Durden helped the Mocs build a powerful offense, which led to three straight SoCon Offensive Player of the Year awards and three straight FCS Playoff appearances.
Durden was also on staff at JMU when the Dukes won the national championship in 2004. He spent nine years at JMU, along with time at VMI, Morehead State, California (Pa.), West Georgia and Georgetown (Ky.).
Im really excited to have Jeff join the staff here at Richmond. Hes got outstanding knowledge of his league after spending time at JMU. He did an excellent job with us at Chattanooga for the past four years. Were going to spread the ball around offensively, use a lot of movement and get a lot of people involved. Im glad I got a chance to bring Jeff with us.
Poached from Freak's new thread in the FF since most of us rarely go there. I found this very interesting:
Football Looking at Josh Dobbs' stats
I was looking at Dobbs' stats this morning. A few numbers...
-Highest completion percentage in the SEC for quarterbacks with at least 300 attempts. (63%) Not bad for a guy labeled as "inaccurate."
-Highest QB rating (150.6)
-Led the conference in passing touchdowns (27)
-I was surprised to see he was sacked 25 times.
-Think about this: Dobbs was Tennessee's leading rusher in three out of the Vols' last four games (Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky) and also against Virginia Tech earlier this year.
-He was 17th in the SEC in rushing (831 yards) and tied for 6th in rushing TDs (12)
