Gillespie is out

[crazyguy]

Does this mean Cooter got an NFL HC job and is bringing CRG with him?








bummed to lose someone who seems to have been a huge asset to UT Football.

John Brice says to watch for Chris Weinke as a new RB coach

I'd be ok with this..... especially for recruiting contacts in Florida. I hate to see Coach G go but am excited to see who Coach P gets to replace him.


Edit, I thought Weinke was at FSU, wasn't that the reason he left UT when Pruitt was hired?

According to Tony Basillio, Gillespie was terminated.

Recruiting...IMG ties...recruiting.

wait, what? I'm all for IMG connections, but that's a......strange move.

Grade of slaw.

 

[BJWeeks]

Tony Basilio said Gillespie was terminated.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Dell McGee? Jay Graham? Rush Propst? Montario moved up to RB coach? If Gillespie is out, CJP has someone ready to replace him....

Don't think Propst will be on the staff. He has a lot of baggage.

TB was pretty spot on during the coaching fiasco. FWIW

im guessing his job "offensive analyst" at Alabama prepped him for the role....

Tony Basilio said Gillespie was terminated.

did he say anything about if Lovie Smith's plane has landed in Knoxville yet ?

I'm sorry, but I am getting less and less excited about this staff every day.

Call me a negavol or whatever you want, but I haven't seen a whole hell of a lot that makes me feel good.

Negavol or whatever you want.

This is the problem. Better to not go up and down like a roller coaster every day. Not nearly enough data points to start ragging on the staff. So yes, lots of 'negavols' are sitting on the coater. Enjoy the ride. It should be fun.

 

[volfannbama]

Well, this is starting out well

 

[Crazy Ivan]

This shocked me... but maybe we can pull Jay Graham back home or possibly Eddie Gran with his connection to Pruitt at FSU

Why would Gran take a demotion? He is probably looking for a HC position.

I'm not sure how expressing some concerns is a problem. This offseason has been a C- in an A+ league, it's fair to be concerned.

If he wins, I won't give a rip about the offseason. Message boards are for posting opinions and sh*tposting memes, anyway.

 

[AM64]

Arguably the most proven assistant on the staff.

Thomas and Gillespie both falling through is a bit disconcerting.

Correction: "most proven assistant" on Butch's staff.

News in Knoxville just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?opcorn:

Actually it’s not the norm to retain coaches and RG was held over to complete the recruiting I would imagine. Our fan base freaks out to the extreme over everything. It’s hilarious actually. I’m guessing here but with the connections here I think we’ll be ok. Please try and show a little maturity guys and not scream like a 5th grader seeing a snake. Just some advice for those wanting to save their respect....

 

[Zues1]

He deferred to Jimmy Hyams

 

[Pride85]

Clean slate idea is fine. Just expect several more sub-500 seasons before progress might be seen. No problem if you have a reasonable outlook. the probability that two straight Alabama DC's have tremendous success is negligible. That's ok too. The stands will fill up for the hope of eventual 6-8 win teams. Copacetic.

Based on what?

Actually it’s not the norm to retain coaches and RG was held over to complete the recruiting I would imagine..

That was my initial thought as well but it's now being reported that he was terminated. Said that he and the rest of the staff "butt heads" several times over the last few weeks.

After last season, can it get any worse?
Never say never......opcorn:
