Sam Pittman to Arkansas? (Merged)

[Dudleys87]

I’ll say this, if Chaney leaves, backing the brinks truck up for Bobo. Can’t guarantee a recruit but you get a HUGE leg up with this kid. Had 62 TD this year, #1 player in 2022. Bobo’s dad has been coaching this kid up since he was 10 years old. Families are super close.

Will be #1 player in 2022. BETTER than Lawrence

That’s a bold statement and huge shoes to fill

Chaney is paid extremely well. If his friendship was more important than that he would not have left UGA IMO. I say relax and enjoy someone else's coaching search for a change.

 

[BAMA-DAWG]

Don’t tell that to @BAMA-DAWG he’ll just say well at least we’re competitive and win Eastern Titles.

Will you at least concede that no team not named Alabama can play in the CFP without at least playing in their conference championship?

Chaney is not leaving this year. No way no how unless somebody backs up a serious Brinks truck and makes him a Godfather style offer.

He would not bail before year two which has historically been when things start to click to take on a rebuilding situation. Add do that that Arky has shown they have a quick trigger finger in getting rid of coaches. Leaving for the big seat and big payday would be one thing but leaving for another OC position after one year for an extra $100K or whatever would be unheard of. Add in that Arky has an income tax so the offer would have to be extra special to offset the loss in real $.

Didn't Ohio State pull that off a few years ago?

Hiring a position coach as a hc is a risky move. Quality man and coach though. He knows whats important and would probably build a good team given the time.

They need to win it to be invited first. They can figure out who goes where after.

 

[Dudleys87]

I don’t see Chaney going any place considering his comments and the talent coming in

[GwinnettVol21]

This will hurt UGA

 

[VolForLife83]

Wonder if he takes Chaney with him lol

You’re smoking crack.

 

[onevol74]

Yep but Bobo>Chaney every single day.
Pruitt said himself that Bobo was THe best OC in CFB.

LOL!!!!! Butt hurt deep here.

Who did Pruitt hire when his program was sinking?

 

[TheFlash1971]

Pete Thamel is reporting on this and it's picking up steam on the internet.

Brett McMurphy saying it's 90% done deal

The same Brett McMurphy that said we were playing Louisville in the music City bowl.

I noticed that Cade Mays received less playing time the last couple of games. Does anyone believe he may consider transferring to UT and play with his little brother? I’m not sure what Pittsman’s influence was on his recruitment but I bet it was significant. I apologize if this has been mentioned before.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Yep, can’t imagine hiring an OL coach to be HC but they are desperate. App St coach said no, probably headed to Mizzou. Pittman will grab Chaney as his OC. That’s almost a guarantee.

How much does Chaney make at UT ?

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

While I'm grateful that Arkansas took from Georgia, I feel that was a terrible hire.

 

[landscapingvol]

I believe he makes over a million and I could be wrong but I think he also signed a two year contract so he may have a buyout.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Chaney gone to Arkansas if this happens. Who do we look at as OC to replace him? I’m assuming Tee would get the promotion

Chaney to Arkansas as ?

 

[landscapingvol]

While I'm grateful that Arkansas took from Georgia, I feel that was a terrible hire.

Bill Clark may have said no but how do you not give him a look or someone who has at least been a coordinator?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Chaney says he likes Knoxville but the dude is a lifelong journeyman he goes where the bigger money is and yea he is good friends with Pittman and they coached together at Arkansas.

We will just have to match the offer then.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I’m looking forward to see how far they regress now witn no Chaney or Pittman. Ohh and let’s not forget Smarts brilliant comments at the end of the SECCG

I missed it, what did he say ?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Yep, can’t imagine hiring an OL coach to be HC but they are desperate. App St coach said no, probably headed to Mizzou. Pittman will grab Chaney as his OC. That’s almost a guarantee.

What was Fulmer’s position at UT before Major’s health issues ?

 

[feathersax]

Chaney said he wants to retire in Knoxville...relax people. If he goes he goes, but I wouldnt bet on him leaving just because hes good friends with Pittman.

Oh, let the panic brigade march on. Just a leftover symptom of B.V.S.
