The Official Jones Coaching Staff Thread (Updated)

The coaching staff is coming together nicely, and the addition of Tee would be absolutely huge. However, one thing that bothers me, despite their previous SEC experience, is that the Martinez-Jancek combo's defense for UGA in 2009 gave up some big numbers... Do you guys think a few more years of experience for them, plus a role-flip (Jancek as DC) will make a big difference? Our defense has a long way to go... will they be able to handle it?

Defense may not have as far to go. They played pretty well for Wilcox, problem was Sunseri trying to jam a round peg into a square hole...the athletes were not there for the full implementation of his scheme, yet he stubbornly forced it anyway. It exposed a lack of speed in the secondary that we just didnt have an answer for.

Cincy had a pretty decent D last year, cohesion and chemistry worked out well. Now I wont compare the level of competition to the SEC but you have to be measured on how you performed against. Also, if we weigh the level of competition argument, we must also address the fact the CBJ and staff did not have SEC caliber players themselves.

I for one am excited about the hire and hires. I feel this is better for the long term than hiring Gruden, Petrino, or Mora Jr. Gruden would have been 1 successful season from Kiffining us, Petrino would have submarined the program with his self first attitude and Mora Jr would have jumped back to the league if given the chance. CBJ wants to be at UT and has embraced what and who we are. So what if he hasnt filled the staff with sexy hires, what he has done is staff it with experience, particularly SEC experience. As far as "Name" coaches...USC isnt faring too well with that loaded staff...(Monte Kiffin anyone?)

Lets give CBJ and Co. a chance and.... GBO!!!

In all seriousness. What is Al Wilson doing these days? Has he ever expressed any interest in coaching? Because the thought of him wearing orange on the Vols sidelines again gives me goosebumps.
 
USC Football: Coach Tee Martin to Tennessee? He's in Knoxville Today - Reign of Troy - A USC Trojans Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

While Martin’s tenure has been a success for USC so far, especially in the recruiting sphere, there are grumbles that the former Tennessee legend hasn’t been happy working under Lane Kiffin. Scott Wolf of the Daily News alleges that “the repetitive nature of some duties that USC coaches are required to do during the season” hasn’t made a fan out of Martin,

He'd have to go back and get his degree first.

I don't understand why every time there is a coaching search, people bring up Al Wilson. The guy has no degree and no interest in coaching, otherwise he would be a GA or coaching somewhere. Same thing for Rodney Garner. He is not leaving Georgia. His wife doesn't want to leave.

Love Al but this ^ is correct.

U r joking right.... Grud n nc or cbd n avg season.. Geez
 
Being Richt's best man has made his career.

You may be right. Living in Atlanta, I remember hearing a lot of criticism toward Richt for keeping him on as DC. He was the best man in Richt's wedding which most said CMR was too attached to him as a friend. I hope he's a better position coach and recruiter because his performance at UGA eventually led to his termination.

Been watching tee martin fB page and he hasn't posted anything since butch jones was hired. That makes me believe that he is quietly getting ready to come home to Tennessee!!

#comehomeTee

That makes me believe he is being professional by respecting both his present employer, and his prospective employer, and allowing them to make the announcements.

I am totally confused. When did we hire Coach Butch Davis (CBD). Not being an ass, keep seeing it posted. Is it a typo or an assistant coach?

Come on home Tee! You know you don't wanna work for that colossal d*ckhead Kiffy! :clapping:
 
Sec tonight crew just said that Tee had contacted one of them and said he was happy working for kiffin. I thought it would have been nice to have him on the staff also but if those guys were right then he ain't comming.
 
If you think a winning record in the NFL is average, I think it's safe to say you don't follow the NFL very closely.

And I like how you list winning 1 Super Bowl as being average. List all of the coaches that haven't won a Super Bowl and all of the coaches that have won multiple Super Bowls.

You also seem to forget that he had the Patriots beat the year they won their first Super Bowl. The Raiders got robbed on that tuck garbage.

i didn't make a case for or against gruden, just stating the facts. you can make your own judgement. i guess reading comprehension isn't your strong point huh?

i'll spoon feed you. all the above are facts. it's called doing your homework. not very hard with a computer either. which of the above facts are you disputing?
