No OC announcement today is good

[Coug]

No announcement today is good and probably means it's not Debord. The radio show yesterday evening told us he has several more interviews to do and they'll probably be concluded with a possible announcement by Wednesday.

Source:
Butch Jones is close to hiring his new offensive coordinator

I hope to goodness that you're right.

Probably not going to announce Kippy's name till after the superbowl..

That would be laughable.

I for one, was very impressed with Kippy when he was interm' coach for us. I believe anybody CBJ hires will be sucessfull with the roster we have. IMO Kippy's years of experience as a OC, WR and RB coach in the NFL outweights a special olympic coordinator at Michigan..

He only had a year of OC experience back in '98. His resume screams WR coach ONLY.

But there's a thread with over 700 posts arguing because somebody had a source there would be a presser today!

If someone interviews DeBored and he denies it, then he is our next OC. Anyone have his phone #???

Exactly why I wish mods would ban dumbass rumor threads and people like volmandu and Bob Mueller.

If the mods banned dumba$$es, there would only be 25 posters left. And I wouldn't make the cut either

I would like to see Kurt Roper get an interview.

 

[ReelfootVol]

I think it was a done deal from the beginning. Just making it look good.

Kippy's calm demeanor undoubtedly helped the team transition after Lane Kiffin bailed on us.

That says nothing about his abilities as an offensive coordinator or whatever else, but he'll always hold a special place in my heart for not only his contributions in recruiting and coaching WRs, but for what he did after Kiffin left us high and dry.

but, but, but check his stats

 

[SolidRockGolf]

I know we are on a forum but being overly dramatic about a decision none of us know will or won't be good is laughable.

I can't understand why everyone is so negative. How does everyone know Debord is that bad but Butch doesn't. We don't even know if its him or not.

Is everyone going to delete their posts if he is hired and we are very successful next year?

I'd a been gone a long time ago, cause I do a lot of things stupid in the name of lulz

FWIW tallvolb98 should be included in your post

yeah but did you check that posters stats?!?

Why? I would rather see Debord get the job than Roper. Roper was atrocious as the OC at Florida this year. At least Debord was 52-11 in games that he coached when he was OC at Michigan.

My true preference would be an actual home run hire like Oregon, TCU, or ASU's OC. But it seems as though Tennessee has an aversion to making a home-run hire like that for some reason. We instead always take a risk on an "up and comer" or a "diamond in the ruff" when it comes to hiring coaches.

As bad as Florida's offense looked last year I wouldn't want him. I think the only good thing about him was getting to work under David Cutcliffe at Duke

You can't fault Roper for the crap he dealt with around a desperate Will Muschamp and having Jeff Driskel be a complete and total bust of a quarterback.

I call BS on this. Driskel stunk it up, but I think that it was more due to crappy coaching than his lack of talent. If Meyer had stayed to coach him, he probably would have been a star. Kid had a ton of talent that was wasted by Weis and Roper.

Roper got that job because of Coach Cut. Period.
