Good RB coach right up the road in Nashville. Don't know if we could get him, but Sylvester Croom is the Titan's RB coach.

Man, I just hope we get someone with as impressive a resume as Zach Azzani. Maybe another guy who is close pals with Nick Saban or Urban Meyer (but who isn't wanted on their staff). Failing that, another mid major coach who once got fired from the SEC, provided we can give them a huge raise.

We need an Asian on staff. Not truly diverse until we get one.

Glad it happened now instead of 5 or 10 months from now it gives us a lot of time to find a replacement

Sucks, but it's the best time in the recruiting cycle. TT will be a rental coach, but if he can get the recruiting ball rolling, I say go for it.

Some of the responses on this board are ridiculous. I dont see how all the blame can be placed on CBJ when he hasnt had the time to prove his worth.

1. To belittle the recruiting effort is absurd. Recruiting is based on relationships. Although Dooley was able to secure Hunter & Rodgers in his first season, that is a rare thing in recruiting. CBJ was a little too late to the dance so to speak. Recruiting will work itself out in the wash when the Ws start piling up again. I applaud the man for what he was able to pull off with only a month to actually develop a relationship.

2. All of this talk about in state legacy VOLS is getting annoying. Yes, this may be the best crop of recruits in state in quite some time; at one time. I dont think all of them will pan out IMHO. Just because their fathers/cousins/brothers were good, doesnt mean they will be. I want the best talent at UT we can get, and should focus on the national scene while being happy with a few of the Legacy class of 14.

3. Coaching is what CBJ will ultimately be judged on. CJG made a business decision; pure and simple. I dont hate him for it. If there is more money and upward mobility involved; and his alma mater doesnt have the position open, I say move on. I appreciate what he did while he was here as a coach and a player. CBJ hand picked Azzanni for the RC position. We as fans do not know the "behind the scenes" issues that may have been there between CBJ/CJG. CBJ didnt appear to surprised, nor is there anything coming out, so this seems to be something expected from the administration. Maybe CJG didnt fit the philosophy for what was coming forward. I want to see this program turned around after years of futility. If a new staff without ties to the VOLS is the ones who turn it around, I am all in. About time we get new ideas/new blood around here.

Instead of bashing both CBJ and CJG, why dont we offer thanks to what CJG did while he was a VOL; offer support for what CBJ is trying to rebuild.

Again, for those who are wanting Trooper...

Didn't he contact one of OUR players and have them negatively recruit against us while at Auburn?

And you want him here???

:banghead2:

Hopefully we won't be reading all the "Graham was a true VFL" posts. He used us to move on to a "better" school.

Don't let the door knob hit you in the azz Jay!

Good to see Graham get a chance to better his career. To bad UT couldn't/didn't match the opportunity. Dude is a neon peeon compared to the UT monster.

Next.

I say yes to bringing back TT. If I'm not mistaken and I may very well be but even if he is found to have done something wrong at Auburn does the penalty follow and go to the previous school and not the coach? Its time we start winning and getting these recruits in here which is what everyone or almost everyone on here had been preaching. If we bring TT back I'd say that 99.9% chance you get Todd Kelley Jr. and the Berry twins as well and his son who is a pretty good football player as well. We might not get Hurd who knows but I'd say he would for sure bring us in a 4 * back and maybe even 2 of them. I say the hire should be done before the end of the day. He is not the best x and o guy but he would fit in well with this staff and he can recruit.
