*****Tennessee Football Coaching Search BIG BOARD [updated 12.4 10:47 am]

[Leeleesteeth]

has to be fake... those who want to coach at TN have to gas up at Pilot Flying J

So if he was at Circle K does that mean he's not interested?

 

[Leeleesteeth]

And no quarterback. I like it.

You people have been griping all year about the QB so if we don't use one it has to be a positive thing.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

My prediction is, we hear a bunch of fluff that Fulmer and Pruitt are interviewing coaches in NYC next week. Then next Friday they just release a tweet with a small write up that Will Friend has been promoted to OC

 

[Volbrando]

Not a rumor - Tee Martin out at USC

...but I don't personally want him on the list of possible OC's for TN

 

[Volbrando]

So if he was at Circle K does that mean he's not interested?

I guess being at the Circle K rather than the Flying J is better than being at the circle J

The post on their board that said his teeth would match our end zone is noteworthy.

Go with me a minute. History shows that former Vol coaches have a way of sticking it to their former program. See Dooley and Lyle this year. Soooo what if there is some magical power here for former coaches? What if they posses that ability that I’d consider a “super power”? For that reason alone I say bring on donkey teeth!

A little more fuel for the fire.:

I doubt it... but we could do worse

 

[SkolGophs]

David Yost, OC, Utah St.
Kenny Dillingham, OC, Memphis

Doubt it

 

[JohnD13]

David Yost, OC, Utah St.
Kenny Dillingham, OC, Memphis

Parallel moves so not likely

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Tee as QB coach / recruiter. Not as OC.

I could put up with him for a win over Florida for sure.

A little more fuel for the fire.:

I say we pull a Bama and pay Tee 35k a year to come be an analyst for us while USC pays out the rest of his salary.

 

[FranklinVFL]

So, who would you put more stock into, Lowe, Hubbs, and McMurphy or Fieldman? Serious question.

Well, Lowe was the first person I saw who broke Helton to WKU.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Rush answer this time of year screams internal promotion.

Quick hire doesn’t scream that to me. It tells me Pruitt knew about it and had some serious conversations before it came out.

Delayed announcement leads me to believe an underwhelming hire.

 

[FranklinVFL]

I'm hearing from unreliable sources inside Tennessee that the new OC has been hired and will be announced at a date in the future. My source tells me the new guy wants to run the ball when he doesn't pass and prefers run fakes in the play-action pass game. Look for a lot of multiple formations featuring Tight Ends, Running Backs, Receivers and Offensive Linemen.

Offensive linemen? What are those?

 

[Freak]

Hyams just said he doesn’t expect Pruitt to promote from within. He does expect him to hire someone he knows or has ties to.

That does it. Its Friend.

oh god... in that case it's within

 

[sami]

What - No Art Briles?

Briles' son, currently at Houston, might be someone to look at.

 

[gordonr24]

I’d only want Tee as an analyst or as a positions coach. He is not OC material. Not even that great of a coach. Just a hell of a recruiter.

Dayum, Tee could stand to mix in a salad every now and then...

I wouldn't go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem - Jules Winnfield
