Sorry if already discussed, but the big AFCA Coaches Convention in Texas is going on right now through this Wednesday. Hadn't seen how many of our coaches are there for the conference, but I'd guess quite a few meetings/interviews could happen there. Potentially could hear of more coaching moves by the end of the week.

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

Good point. I don't mind Pruitt being an emotional or fiery coach or having others on staff that way. A staff full of those is probably not a good move.

They have almost resigned to their fate with Chaney over on the UGA boards. They REALLY don't want to lose Pittman also. Would be so big to get both of those guys back to Knoxville. UGA fans would have a come apart if they lost Chaney and Pittman. Wonder how Cade Mays would feel if the guys that got him to Athens head back to Knoxville after a year?

This all day long.
Watch how much better YAC’s coaching gets when Tee starts delivering him Top100 WRs.

And there is no real “coaching” of RBs. Dudes can either see the hole and hit it, or they can’t.

My point every time it’s proposed moving YAC to RB’s. I remember when Weinke was hired that some thought he’d be better there. When our WR’s have jag coaching them, it shows. This season was the best taught group since the Fulmer days imo.

i don't think PIttman comes here, no matter what happens to Chaney. i think it would be more likely that Bama pushes hard for Pittman, and if he leaves Athens, it's for Tuscaloosa.

agree. i think DJ is a pretty good coach. if you're going to retain him, he likely stays put at WR coach. i don't think having Tee as WR coach would be a huge drop off and you get the benefit of his recruiting.

the only knowns right now are Friend is going to be on this staff as an on field coach and so is Nieds. in what capacity, that could change however needed to make whatever scenario happened play out.

my gut says weinke is the only one that's really in any danger of being on the way out.

unless pruitt decides to even out the #'s offense to defense and let's one of the LB or DB coaches go...not sure that happens, but if it does, my gut says it's T Fair that's likely out.

(pure speculation by me, no sources invovled. lol)

Pittman is not coming.
Chaney already has a Friend.

As far as Bogle ..here's where I am on that. If the kids decides he wants to come here after all then I'm fine with it. BUT I really have a check in my mind on kids that handle recruiting like this. I understand indecision. I have it quite often myself and I feel no ill will toward a young man that wants to go elsewhere. But there comes a point where it leaves the realm of decision and enters the realm of attention seeking at least to me. I like the way Archie handled Peyton. You make a good, well thought out decision and once you've decided... that's it. Its over and your commitment stands. And I understand a lot of these kids don't have the luxury of having someone like Archie in their lives. This kid is obviously confused and to make a decision this way is a huge red flag at least to me. I'm surprised that we were actually that high on his list honestly. I hope wherever he goes he is successful and matures a whole bunch...that's JMO...

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.

5 on defense, 4 on offense right now. OC hire evens out the staff.

He has OLBs, ILBs, DBs, DL, and Safety. The OLB/ILB coaches are co-DCs and the Safety coach is also Special Teams. Terry Fair and Rocker only 2 pure position coaches on defense.

As it stands now we have no OC/QB coach.

Last night Bogle told our coaches in a group text he was committing. Henderson a few days before he commited to Florida same thing, Recruiting is so fickle and with twitter, instagram, you have so many ppl in your ear. I like DW's approach to his recruitment, seems to be doing it the right way.
