If we lose DJ & Weinke I see Lilly elevated to backfill somewhere. And possibly Tee being an outside hire.

Although Coach O could also be elevated easily enough.

I am sure this was posted at some point, but I can't remember because this thing has gone on so long....But @Atlanta VOL's traveler reference could be a veiled nod to the USC mascot who's name is Traveler and thus could apply to either Sark and/or Tee. Just thought I would throw that out there (again?) and see if it sticks.

It's always been Chaney. Said that right after AVs post. He made it super obvious with Stay Puft, but everyone thought it was some national treasure type riddle, when he was actually making it easy for us to figure out. I'm guessing Chaney wanted to coach through Georgia's bowl game with no distractions. I suspect he will be announced this week. Probably "tomorrow".

I really think this is the case. I think Sark has told CJP that he would like some time to gauge NFL internist, and maybe its nothing surfacing for him so he is circling back around to Tennessee.

If he wants an NFL job — so be it. Move on CJP even if you are interested. He will jump in a heartbeat if he wants an NFL job.

All the other "interviews" are just smokescreens..

Except he formed his staff to backfill. He already has guys he trusts and wants to put on-field. So going outside to fill multiple positions is only going to encourage guys he trusts, who trusted him, to consider looking around. Then he could end up with fewer guys he's worked with and trusts and a higher risk of impacting staff chemistry. IDT he wants to mess with what's working.

Your making the assumption that I am saying he should fire anyone right now. Thats not the case.

If he isn't having to make some moves with positions coaches in his first 2 years because guys aren't getting opportunities, its not working.

Except AV came back and said we put all our eggs in the Yurchic basket.

La,
You've said you didn't think Pruitt would get along with Chaney. According to Hyams Fulmer likes Chaney and Pruitt respects him.

If we hired Chaney would that be a sign of Fulmer's mentoring/guidance?

Do you think Chaney is a no go for Pruitt?

It's not that I think they wouldn't get along-- I just think they'd have some things to work through. Chaney wants to be in the booth; Pruitt thinks the OC should be on the field next to him. Chaney's not a big on-the-road recruiter, and Pruitt's looking for that. Chaney's laid-back and Pruitt's emotional and aggressive. Chaney has a lot of experience-- he's not like Helton.

Chaney is a super nice guy and he's always been adaptable. No reason it couldn't work to everybody's advantage, if they want the same thing and are willing to compromise.

i agree with this, though i don't think he was looking to backfill 2-3 positions after year 1, hence maybe the willingness to look around a bit?

dunno. all the talk about Tee coming with Sark/chaney, or whatever, i think Tee is more likely with an internal promotion.

i don't think he wants to change a ton on this staff. and if he is, he might have to look at hte fact that he has 2 LB and 2 DB coaches.....if there's a place to even out the #'s, it's more likley on defense, if you don't want to get rid of anyone on the offense, AND you want to bring in Tee (or anyone else for htat matter).

the speculation today is running rampant, and that's fine, got nothing better to do.....but i think in the end, the simplest soluition is probably the most likely.

That's good to hear. I think adding some cool ranch might balance out the 🔥 Doritos.
