Stan Drayton confirmed as RB coach (merged)

[JonWard]

Good Hire, Phil!! :rock:

 

[JonWard]

I bet Chavis is the first to interview him when he arrives on campus, LOL

 

[allvol123]

Are we paying him more?

If not, what is his reasoning in leaving UF to come to UT?

 

[tsvol06]

I think Foolmore got this one right.

 

[VolfanMike]

I was wondering the same thing.

lame

UF doesn't use a RB.

I'm sure UT is paying him more too.

 

[allvol123]

UF doesn't use a RB.

I'm sure UT is paying him more too.

So UF didn't care to pay more to keep him?

 

[VolfanMike]

Justin, do you not think they will utilize moody at all next season?

So UF didn't care to pay more to keep him?

You're trying really hard, aren't you?

 

[ut 4 me]

can moody play next season?

 

[utvolpj]

UF doesn't use a RB.

I'm sure UT is paying him more too.

we also have some pretty good ones on our roster for him to work with.

Justin, do you not think they will utilize moody at all next season?

i'm not justin, but they'll be a fool not to utilize him more. But they won't utilize him enough. This is a great candidate to bring in right before the recruiting deadlines. Drayton probably wants to show that he can coach, and at Florida everything appears to come from Meyer's magic wand, not anyone else on the coaching staff.

just read the Tennessean....huge hire for Phil. It's awesome.

 

[justingroves]

So UF didn't care to pay more to keep him?

Why give someone a job if the position they coach isn't utilized?

I look at it this way, if you do your job exceptionally well and no one gives any credit for it, why not go to a place that pays you better and will let you use your job skill?

Moore averaged 5.6 yards a carry last year for UF. Deshawn Wynn is in the NFL because of Drayton. He's a good coach.

 

[justingroves]

Justin, do you not think they will utilize moody at all next season?

Moody is no better than Moore

 

[justingroves]

You're trying really hard, aren't you?

Yes he is.

Oh God Tennessee is hiring UF's trash

 

[allvol123]

You're trying really hard, aren't you?

Uh, no. I know what you are getting at, but no I am not. Just asking real questions. There are motivations and conditions surrounding a move like this. Not like he is getting a promotion. So what is the deal. UF isn't chop suey.

 

[allvol123]

Yes he is.

Oh God Tennessee is hiring UF's trash

Think again Sherlock.

 

[VolsRule]

UT probably offered Drayton a lot more than Meyer and Foley were willing to pay---bottom line. Other than that, it's a lateral move: two big SEC programs.

 

[VolfanMike]

Great hire imo........

 

[Jurevicious]

Great hire phil!! 3 more to go

Drayton knew if he stayed at Fla under Meyer he wouldn't be doing anything to advance his stock. This is from the Tennessean:

“I’m a Volunteer,” Drayton told The Tennessean when reached on his cell phone Tuesday afternoon. “I interviewed on Sunday and it went extremely well. Tennessee is a classy program and it speaks for itself. Coach Fulmer is as classy as any coach I’ve been around. He provided me an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.”

That doesn't necessarily entail monetary compensation.

 

[Jurevicious]

Lets hope he can take some of UF's recruits with him
