"This deal with Azzanni happened quickly. This has not been lingering out there. Interviews took place on Friday or Monday and Azzanni apparently accepted the position late last night. But wanted to tell his WR's first as well as the team and he did get to do that this morning. It was something that wanted to have happen the right way which is why it didn't leak out last night. He kept it close in order for his players to hear it first directly from him.
Now, as fans wish him luck the question is what direction does Jones turn. Remember, Jones is a former receivers coach and has more ties to that position in coaching than any other. He also really knows what he wants/expects out of a receivers coach.
I think he wants a guy with power 5 experience. That's why I don't think at this point T.J. Weist would be at the top of his list.
I wouldn't be surprised if some names from the Big 12 make the board. Andre Coleman at Kansas State is a guy I like. I think he has done a really good job there. Now he's a K-State grad so would he be interesting in leaving.
I'm told former Kentucky head coach Joker Phillips would love to get back into the SEC. Not sure if that's possible because of what happened at Florida with him.
But I think Jones will lean towards a proven name at this level as he continues to evolve his program."
