Who do u want for QB coach?

That's a more complicated question, because I don't want Scott as OC. Of those listed, I suppose you have to default to Weinke due to potential recruiting upside. I'd take that over a middling resume that seems to be trending in the wrong direction.

Coach Scott, Gillespie, and Azzanni are plenty of offensive recruiting muscle, Canales isn't gona hurt recruiting he just needs to coach up our qb's. plus it's butch's offense anyway. I'm much more interested in the defensive staff if any more changes are made.

"Tennessee will imminently name Mike Canales its new quarterbacks coach, sources told multiple members of 247Sports including Ryan Callahan, filling the final truly open position on its coaching staff --- though more changes are expected as both Don Mahoney, offensive line, and Steve Stripling, defensive line, are under contracts that expire at the end of next month.

Canales is the only of Tennessee’s myriad candidates to be quarterbacks coach who received two in-person, on-campus interviews, being on Rocky Top as recently as Monday."

I'll pump sunshine all day but don't act like this isn't a pathetic hire. All these big hires being made across country at smaller places and we hire a guy that nobody freaking wants.

Immediate name recognition in recruiting

Hiring on potential "name recognition" is a disaterous strategy IMO

You hire a coach based on how he coaches and improves his players, not whether some middle aged men recognize his name from when he played 15 years ago.

Has Weinke ever had to recruit?

Look, if you want to be impressed by it, go ahead. It's your prerogative, just like not being impressed is mine. I'm not panicking.

Did I say I was impressed? Nope. Never said it. All I have said is people need to stop their hand wringing if in fact Canales is the one hired.....Everyone's go to guy seems to be Weinke based off of POTENTIAL recruiting and this resume...

Quarterbacks coach

When we recruit kids with "potential" the same people are the ones bit**ing about that, but now they want to hire a QB coach with potential. Makes no damn sense at all. So yeah, my opinion is that if that's what you are basing your opinion off of (maybe not you specifically, but you know there are plenty who are) then your (whoever your may belong to) opinion is pretty weak and therefore I find it insignificant.

Scott, Gillespie, and Azzani have killed and cornered the market on 3 stars from the recruiting services. 😎

Edit: Sorry you said offense. Maybe there are higher rated recruits on that side. I haven't broken it out.
