Official OC search update thread...

I would say OC hire important........


“I need to know who they’re bringing in.”

The 6-foot-4, 191-pound Williams went on an official visit to Georgia in late November, and he has discussed taking an official visit to Auburn this weekend. But he said Thursday night that he doesn’t “know for sure” whether he will visit the Tigers. If he visits any school this weekend, he said, it “probably” will be Auburn.

Jones and Vols wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni didn’t talk with him about the possibility of Bajakian leaving during their in-home visit with Williams on Wednesday, but Williams said Azzanni talked with him Thursday after learning of Bajakian’s departure.

“(Azzanni) was like, ‘(Bajakian) is gone, but we’re still going to run the same offense and all that, so don’t worry,’” Williams said.

Williams said confirming that Tennessee’s new offensive coordinator will run an offense that fits “the way I play” is his main concern with National Signing Day now less than two weeks away.

“I don’t want to go there and a new offensive coordinator come there and they run, like, a whole other offense that doesn’t fit the way I play,” he said. “I’m more nervous than anything, because this decision that I’m fixing to make is going to determine my life. The decision that I’m fixing to make on February 4, it has to benefit me in a positive way.”

He said he planned to call Jones on Thursday night to discuss the Vols’ search for Bajakian’s replacement.

Azzanni has been mentioned as a potential candidate for the offensive-coordinator position. Williams said it ‘would be great” if Azzanni, who’s serving as his primary recruiter, was promoted to replace Bajakian.

“If he becomes the offensive coordinator, that would be great,” Williams said of Azzanni. “We’ll just have to wait and see.”

Williams said he spoke with Auburn on Thursday, and the Tigers’ coaches “were just trying to capitalize on the opportunity because of (Bajakian) leaving” and doing their best to convince him to take an official visit to Auburn this weekend.

He said he hasn’t ruled out visiting the Tigers simply because they haven’t given up on pursuing him.

“Since I’ve been committed, every school in the nation’s come off me and stopped recruiting me and left me alone. Auburn and Georgia are the only schools that really are still trying to get me,” Williams said. “I guess they feel like they’ve really got a shot now because ‘Jake’ is gone. They still want to have me be a program-changer.”
 
Vol fans want anybody that used to play or coach at UT to come back. They also want any high school coach in the area. Dumbest things I've ever heard.

I know a lot of people on here are madly in love with Peyton and expect him to just eventually take over the UT football program, but unfortunately I do not think he shares your future plans for him. He's just not that into you.

it would be nice to hear what RiseToTheTop wants to coach instead of criticizing Vol fans..
 
Me too. I feel like a time bomb is ticking for a decommittment.

Not advocating for him, but just a name to throw out, Scot Loefler. Discuss.
 
So if coach Z gets offered the OC position and more money a little more than Coach Baj was making (which I don't know how much that is) what are the odds that he stays and they get just a QB coach or another WR coach?

Mike DeBord is in contact with UT. It would be a horrible hire.

The coordinator equivalent of hiring Dooley.

At least with Bajakian and Jancek we knew they were pretty successful with Butch.

This guy hasn't done a damn thing since 2006.
