From Michigan reporter circa 06-07. It basically confirms that DeBord at least ran/knows our blocking scheme. The run option he also presumably might know from when Butch was his OC.

But this past offseason, DeBord brought in Alex Gibbs, an assistant coach for the Atlanta Falcons, to implement a zone-blocking scheme that could open up the running game.

The scheme, which has been used to great success by the Denver Broncos as well as the Falcons, requires the offensive line to block "landmarks" (a certain spot on the defenders jersey) and get a quicker jump off the line.

"I was excited when they told us we were going to change to a zone scheme," Kraus said. "I'm a lighter guy. I'm not as big as some of the past offensive linemen. This scheme really fits me

I think the fact that it is in Gainesville works in our favor.

The last two times we were "supposed" to beat UF was at home and our players choked.

They won't have that kind of pressure in the Swamp.

I'm seeing visions of 1995 Bama dancing in my head.

look, debord will be fine. hes an o-line guy, has a ton of experience, apparantly comes highly recommended by manning, gruden, meyer, etc and maybe, just maybe will help improve the run game and implement some pro formation philosophies. He will be fine, all he has to do is call plays that he thinks will work. Maybe he will be more aggressive(which i would like), maybe he will be better at picking things up during the game and using it to tenn advantage. Possibly better half time adjustments who knows. IMO, he would be night and day better then coach jake. FYI, IMO, If this guy is hired the first time by fulmer theres never a kiffen or dooley era. Give the guy a chance if hes the man, i think itll work out fine. Hes a very experienced old fart on offense and i think that is what this teams needs IMO.

Done. Your son is already on scholarship in my book. I'll make sure we have the top rated 5* holder in the nation. Each time we reach the 30, we will kick a FG regardless of the down.

You'll have to coach the RBs and WRs to run out of bounds at the 30 so when they are streaking down the sideline on a big play they don't accidentally score a TD. I think brainwashing them into thinking the field from the 30 to the goaline consists of bouncing betty anti-personnel mines will do the trick. FGU!

Not to go all Leb on you but whenever Drew Richmond supposedly did the same thing for OM while on a UT visit everyone on here was ready to storm his house and burn his mattress.

That being said... I agree with you. :)

This is where I am with it. Doubt we see any SECC's or NC's with the second and third scenarios. With the first and hiring a top OC it is very possible. DeBord could shore up Mahoney and help Butch administratively.

Maybe you should apply and we can all complain about your play calling.

"As we first reported Sunday evening, Butch Jones is spending today and Tuesday conducting additional interviews for his vacant offensive coordinator position.

Nothing has changed in terms of Mike DeBord being the Vols' frontrunner. DeBord spent the entire weekend on Rocky Top and logged extensive time with players and staff, most notably returning starting quarterback Joshua Dobbs. DeBord also is mulling an NFL offer, which multiple sources told us is with the Atlanta Falcons and could unfold by midweek.

Still, Jones emphasized to VolQuest.com that this is a thorough process. He's got a very tight circle of advisers --- on campus and elsewhere in the coaching ranks and football community --- that he's leaning on for this interview process.

Expect Jones and at least one other member of his UT staff to conduct no less than three interviews in the next 36 hours away from Knoxville. Candidates are expected to fly in to meet Jones.

Another thing about this search is how Debord came to campus out in the open no shrouded in secret like these other interviews appear to be.. Just looks so much more like mentor role than interview or QC possibility. I wonder if that's why no formal announcement has been made yet... Waiting to get the other positions in place and then introduce at the same time- just trying to gauge what might be going on or at least what I HOPE is going on...
