Should George Quarles be hired as Tennessee offensive coordinator?

[Dave1967]

I think he would be a very good pick and i think he's ready for the jump from High School to College Football.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

OC? No. A position coach though.

 

[Panthro]

While it would be fun to watch and it might just work...of course not!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Too risky. If it doesnt work out it could set us back years.

 

[TBrown]

No

 

[865dude]

Only if we put William blount and heritage on the schedule

 

[therealitytheory]

No way. Would piss off Coach Z and maybe one or two others and then you'd have more positions to fill.

 

[OWB]

Nope

 

[shmohawk]

If I were to smdh any harder, I would injure my neck.

He's proven to be an excellent O coach, check. He is a Tennessee guy, check. He wouldn't be looking for a bigger gig right away, check. Has won at an extremely high level, check. We'll have to check on that.

It would be a better deal to bring him in as a position coach and give coach Z the OC job. Mighty big jump from high school to college ranks in that capacity.

Rumor around murville is he's turned down position coach opportunities

I hate to break this to you, but TN HS football is not an "extremely high level."

Has no experience outside of H.S./hasn't paid dues on at least the college level

,check

I think what has held GQ back from the college ranks is the fact hiring him would be a risk. Like Gus, if GQ is going to start in college, it'll be at an OC position at a smaller school, UTC for example.

If hired at UT, anything would be possible. He could flop and essentially show he's only effective in HS. He could be mediocre and be around for 3-5 seasons until CBJ decides to move on. Lastly he could be stellar. I have my doubts about him being stellar because his offense is nothing new in college. Defenses have already figured it out.

Exactly. We finally have some momentum and can't afford that risk.

 

[GAVol]

No chance.

 

[Grizzly Vol]

No insult to Quarles, his record as a high school coach speaks for itself, but would it not make more sense to pursue a proven college OC given the weapons we have at our disposal? Growing pains with a coach who may need some time to get acclimated to the college game doesn't exactly sound like something we need right now.

 

[Pappy]

why would he want to leave Murvul? He's got it made in there on several different fronts. why would he want the headache of babysitting, recruiting, etc?

 

[gobraves101035]

No, Jim bob cooter? Yes. Dude has proven in many nfl places that he is a good coach

JBC doesn't fit Butch's system

 

[CTVolsfan14]

He runs the option.. no? If that's true I'm confused why ANYBODY would want him.

What is your issue with CGQ? He coaches in the highest classification in TN, he has to play WB and HHS but he also has to play the biggest schools in the state.

 

[Special Ed]

o Never heard of him.

The option has worked at Georgia Tech and would work well at UT with Dobbs and Hurd
