Welcome UT Coach Clausen?

[TBALLVOL]

Just read in the KNS that Fulmer offered rick a graduate assistants position for next year. Maybe that will take some of the sting out of not being named the starter. Might also help in the recruitment of Jimmy.

Good deal. Maybe it will help with Jimmy

I hope Rick takes the job, for more than just recruiting Jimmy. I wonder why Casey wasn't offered a job??

Maybe Rick is closer to Jimmy.

I think he actually did that a week or two ago. It was before he announced the qb choice.

"I wonder why Casey wasn't offered a job?? "

just my opinion but I think Rick has a better personality than Casey, I've said it before it seemed like Casey was a loner, Rick seems more of a people person

UT's GA positions were filled for one, the other is Casey wanted to learn the west coast style that Croom is using.

I agree that Rick seems like more of a people person. Could just be the way he interviews though.

Not only that, But he seems to interact much better with the team as a whole. From the O/W game thru fall practices he's been a players player. I hope this materializes into a players coach. :cross:

 

[bigzurc420]

he will do a good job i believe

So Rick has NO shot at the NFL??

NO, but he would be a good coach. I think he is a lot smarter than Casey. He seems to be less cocky.

R.Clausen has been vilified and abused as a player by the press and in some posts.He goes to work,stays in the game, and is ready if called.I saw him in the Cotton Bowl.He is a VOL..He won't whine or make a scene about not being the starter.It is called class.I wish him a bright future as a player or a coach.

Yep, I remember hearing this a while back as well. Good for Rick though. He could really help and maybe be a bigtime coach some day. For now, I am also glad it will help recruiting Jimmy. Fulmer will need to play every card in his hand if he wants to get Jimmy.

 

[TBALLVOL]

Well, maybe Rick is a little irked about not becoming a starter, he reports in the KNS that he might want to consider another school to be a graduate assistant so he can learn a new system...Lord don't let him become a bammer or a gator.
