Dear OP,

You must not have received my dispatch sent by courier pigeon earlier this week concerning the matter so I have composed my response once again and sent it forth via the always reliable Pony Express this time. I do hope the the pigeon I used for the first message has not met an unfortunate end as he was a loyal and dedicated courier. However I fear there are three tigers, a gator, a wildcat, two bulldogs, some rebels and even an elephant (among others) who are working to prevent my words from reaching you. But I digress...

The Top Men running this glorious program in the Rocky area have an OC who will lead the men in battle, but it would be unwise to announce him until the dawn of our first game in 2019. By delaying our announcement out combatant will be flummoxed and unable to prepare in time for our new ruthless offense. For we are putting forth a new strategy of delaying all hires as the old method of actually hiring someone timely just didn't make sense for us, much like the creation of then internet from the great AlGore will one day change commerce forever.

Decades from now the all knowing Wiki will mark down this moment as a changing point in assistant coach hiring history as all other foes will adopt this strategy. Those who are early to do so will prove to be tough challenges early on. Those who delay will be easy targets for slaying. For we are on the cusp of making historyamd changing the world forever. For just like Henry Ford we are pioneers in our methods and this will bring forth victory. And we have uncovered another strategy that will assist us in the conquests of our challengers. We will now study our future enemies ways through the use of motion pictures recorded from their previous battles.

Fear not Dear OP! We will be victorious in our pursuit of glory and will all enjoy the bounty of riches it brings us! We will stay on Top of the Rocky land with our loyal hound by our side!

Regards,
General Neyland's Ghost

Dear Scaper of Lands,

We are not divided, we oppose those who attempt to divide and are committed to bringing about and end to this internal conflict.

Our leadership team is working tireously to ensure victory in our future battles with tigers, bulldogs, wildcats and more. And let's not forget about the anchormen a few days march down the forty road from us. We shall not allow our internal squabbles to distract us from our ultimate goal of slaying the great elephant and regaining our rightful place on Top of this Rocky land with our hound by our side.

Regards,
General Neylands Ghost

P.S. Your talents as a scaper of lands would be very helpful in assisting our forces in regaining the high ground on this Rocky land. Perhaps you could be persuaded to ensure our battlefield is sufficient for our needs, as in the past it has been subpar and devastating to our forces. And please use your voice and the voices of those under your command to contribute to the creation of chaos for our opponents during our battles on our home front. Your contribution to our cause would be greatly appreciated as you will be one of 100,000+ support staff present to witness our war to ultimately slay the might elephant.

Personally, I don't mind waiting till Spring practice.....if we get a very good OC who can recruit. Time simply does not matter for the right guy.

Time actually does matter as there are only so many “right guys” who can do the job at a high level. And the longer you wait, the more likely it is that somebody else will hire your “right guy” and you’ll be left with choosing amongst of bunch of “wrong guys” imho.

You and Butch Jones have something in common. You don't know what a fullback is. Al Bundy was a FB who scored 4 rushing TDs

It was 6 TD's but 2 were called back for unnecessary exposure due to Brandy's pants falling down when his hand wasn't stuck in them.

Divided into two camps, Chicken Littles vs Let This Play Out. I'm in the "Let This Play Out" camp. Sure everyone wants to know what's really going on with the OC search, and know it yesterday or last week. A lot of posters feel like UT is getting left behind other schools and their recent hires, and the lack of any credible information can be frustrating. But the people who need to know, CJP & ADPF, do. We don't. I for one have been most impressed with the almost complete lack of information during this search, no one with inside info is leaking anything to anyone. That is almost impossible in this day and age!

Chicken Littles ( imo ) will think we've offered practically everyone the OC job only to be turned down each and every time. I believe CJP has his OC and has for some time, and they are just waiting til their current gig is up. A couple of wild guesses would be someone in the same circumstances as Kitchens or Long. If it turns out to be Friend, I'll eat this post.

Again, I've been impressed with CJP's stealthiness...

I’m done taking the wait and see coaches say screw Tennessee. Either something is amiss or we have the worst luck.

Has anyone stopped to think that Pruitt is playing damage control and were still at square 1?

Mullen was going to leave Starkville last offseason. We did slow-play him in order to interview Schiano after the OSU-Michigan game. By that time, Chip Kelly and Scott Frost spurned Florida and the rest is history. I think Mullen was always going to choose UF over us but we made it really easy for him....

But we could have had him before Fla was open if I'm not mistaken on the time of opening at fla.

Im with the patient group. Pruitt got his man to run his offense snd it will be his offense and not turn the key over to Briles system. Thats not how it works.View attachment 182684

I think you are right. I dont think any of the big names were offered the OC because their offence is different than what Pruitt wants. Hope Pruitt is right, if not he gets 2 or 3 more years. To win sec now you have to be able to score at least 30 points and that is with an outstanding defense to go wit it.

I agree 100%. On the other hand how many high profile oc run the smash mouth run, pro style offenses which is what Pruitt wants.

Yes, some think that’s exactly where we are, myself included.
