Too soon.

I see and smell a Dooley/Sunseri mess all over again...I just think we can do better. Maybe I'm wrong...and I trust Butch because this can be a career-making or a career-breaking move for him.

People said the same thing about DeBord. And how is that working out for you?

 

[Plano Vol]

Muschamp may be available in a year or so.

Sunseri had never been a coordinator.

He came in and tried to switch to a 3-4 before having the personnel to do it.

If this is the hire then it could certainly fail... but I very much doubt it would fail to the degree that Sunseri failed.

 

[COOKEVOL]

Buddy Green.

 

[BJSforVols]

People talk down about Chief, but his defenses were primarily responsible for two different schools (with suspect offenses) getting into the national championship game.

Even during the two losing seasons that cost CFP his job, Tennessee's defense was tough. The problem for the Vols during Chavis final years on staff were offenses that couldn't turn 4 first half interceptions at UCLA into rout, that couldn't score more that 13 points on Northern Illinois or score more than 7 against Wyoming.

Jancek did a fine job... hate to see him go... but John Chavis coming home right now would be an upgrade. (AND... just plain RIGHT.)

I agree with you regarding Chavis's ability to coach. One cannot argue his ranking in the top 5 to top 10 DCs of college football right now. Although he would be a huge upgrade to Jancek, I don't see CBJ going with Chavis. CBJ will go with a DC who is a top notch recruiter as well as either a top notch DC or up and comer DC with potential to be top notch. Chavi's recruiting will kepp him from being consider by CBJ IMO.

 

[LexVolGBO]

I'm pretty sure that whoever our next DC is, he's already been hired. You don't fire someone and then go looking, you go looking and then fire someone to make room.

My guess is the lawyers are hammering out the details of the contract now and they are giving lip service about interviewing "potential" candidates.

Or waiting for that last bowl game to be played?

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Listen...last year we needed an OC. and Butch kept on talking about consistency in the program, terminology, philosophy, bla bla..

It's gonna be IN-HOUSE.

Don't think so!

 

[Snakebrown13]

...It is like you said while Bray was here that he had all the pocket presents and wasn't a pre Madonna...

Uhm. What are 'pocket presents'? Is that like when you put jeans back on and find money you didn't know you had?

 

[PYSCHO]

Well since he's the Head Coach at Marshall, I'll go out on a limb and say that won't happen.

Doc Holiday is head coach

 

[orangebloodgmc]

His clause states no games after 6PM.

... and prune juice in Monte's Gatorade cooler.

 

[Weezer]

A month before NSD, I hope Butch has a big name to roll out for the recruits.

It's when a younger man puts his hand in your pocket and touches your hoo hah

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

Yep. Tennessee salary will be $500,000 and they will wonder why our defense gives up 500+ yards a game.

Our OC makes 500,000 a year and led our offense to its best showing in years. Just because you spend more, doesn't always mean you get more.

 

[Knox-a-rue]

Too soon.

Ive always struggled with comic timing.

That was the worst defense I have ever seen at Tennessee and I have been watching Tennessee football since 1946.

...I'll pass then. Can a hot chick give me a 'pocket present' instead?

I'm not sure TN can afford Chavis, he's making 1.7 million at A&M.

?

 

[JohnMcA60]

Mike pettine IMO.

Butch was in Cleveland for a game not too long ago.

 

[VolnJC]

This wouldn't be very popular if he doesn't get a big name DC

Tennessee: Defensive coordinator John Jancek will not return. Sources tell FootballScoop that Butch Jones has been considering a number of candidates. Unclear yet who has best shot; but hear it could be someone under the radar.

Ugh that sounds icky and gross

 

[Kurtastrophe]

Butch knocked it out of the park with the Scott hire. I have a feeling it's going to happen again here. We haven't been this attractive while searching for a coordinator in a long time.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Bo Pelini
Derek Mason

Butch won't take Chavis. CBJ has a long standing policy of not hiring any coach with more hair than him! lol

 

[Boston Vol]

Doc Holiday is head coach

I've already admitted that I got the two mixed up.
