Someone else on the horizon

[AustinMem]

I want Al Wilson on staff. It can be an off-field role, whatever. Heck, make him "pre-game speech analyst", and have him give all pregame speeches.

 

[Big Al Orange]

Is there a T?

I’m just here to meet Vanna

 

[Bucket18]

I look for Coach Chaney to put the oline and coach under the microscope.

 

[DaddyChad]

Graham is who I expect. Thompson wouldn't surprise me either. Garner is another that would be a huge addition but I don't see much chance of pulling him from Auburn

 

[carpbc]

Could it possibly be that Chaney is bringing Pittman with him from Jawgah?

What about Trooper Taylor?

I doubt it. UGA just extended him with a healthy raise as well.

Graham makes the most sense but we'd have to move some offensive assistants out most likely. Graham is a good RB coach, elite recruiter, former Vol, and he has special teams coaching experience.

We have a pretty good degree of flexibility right now with several coaches able to coach multiple positions. Chaney can coach almost anything on the offensive side, Martin has some experience coaching multiple positions, Nieds could coach in either side of the ball if necessary, Pruitt has a background with DBs.

What about Trooper Taylor?

I guess it's possible. What did auburn run him off for? I seem to remember some issues that made him leave auburn

Hope you arrived in a time machine.

He’s a crooked as they come. Please keep him far far away from Knoxville

Yeah after looking at it a little more I don't see it. He was specifically cited when auburn was being investigated. I had also forgotten about him bad mouthing Tennessee and getting former vol players to negative recruit against us as well. His tactics seem pretty sleazy even among the most cutthroat of peera

 

[Plateauvol]

Thought I heard that he recently joined the Duke staff.

Whoever we get I hope they're great coaches and great recruiters.

I also hope they stay with us for at least 3, 4 or more years.

We badly need coaching consistency.

VFL...GBO!!!

We had Butch for 5 years... That is consistent

He did

 

[Pepe]

He was here from 2009 (Kiffin) thru 2011 (Dooley)

Dooley would have done well to choose Thompson over Sunseri

 

[Grudenator]

What about Trooper Taylor?

Heck no

 

[k-town_king]

He’s a crooked as they come. Please keep him far far away from Knoxville

So in other words he is a good recruiter?

 

[sonofUT62]

He did

Trooper? Not according to the staff directory. Looks like his son is a GA.

Who are the specific other ex-Vol players (names) he got to "negative recruit against us?"

 

[thegasman54]

What about Trooper Taylor?

Hheeelllll no

Pretty sure Gerald Jones was one of them, or I atleast think that’s how the story went.

 

[Dudleys87]

I wouldn’t go that far but If they want to be tied up in violations then by all means go ahead.

I don’t think that was ever proven to be anything other than rumors.

He isn't any dirtier than the good recruiters on our staff. If you think so then you are super naive. All of them are dirty.


Its all on what the NCAA decides to look at and what they can prove.
