Doug Matthews says more offensive staff changes expected

[Freak]

Things might get more interesting. It appears we could lose more coaches besides David Johnson.

From Midday 180: “I anticipate more changes than just the running back coach off of this offensive staff for Tennessee.”- Doug Mathews

Who's next? Hard to see Chaney leaving. Tee just turned down Ole Miss. Friend is tight with Pruitt. Niedermeyer, there are the rumors about Texas A&M. Weinke maybe?

Jim Chaney - Offensive Coordinator
Tee Martin - Assistant Head Coach/Passing Game Coordinator/Wide Receivers
Will Friend - Offensive Line
Brian Niedermeyer - Tight Ends
Chris Weinke - Quarterbacks

If I have to pick 1 I think we lose its Weinke.

 

[TAF]

I hope if it's anything...it is this one:
Will Friend - Offensive Line

It is only a good move if CJP has an upgrade waiting to be hired. Doubt it would be friend but who knows.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I am going with Weinke.

 

[Shirleyudontmeanthat]

Got to be Weinke

 

[CAVPUT]

With our luck, it will be Tee and Nieds.

 

[Behr]

With our luck, it will be Tee and Nieds.

Our luck has been shifting to being in our favor a little more often lately.

We are signing good OL and the ones on campus are improving noticeably. Not sure why we would mess with that at the most developmental position in football.

Rocker is rumored to retire to follow his son. I know he coaches defense, but I just don't want to feel left out. haha

 

[BeecherVol]

Weinke seems like the obvious.

After that its hard to say if theres more than 1.

Chaney seems like the least likely.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

With our luck, it will be Tee and Nieds.

Tee isn’t going no where.

I don’t know about Neids.

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

I'd be surprised if Neids is on the moving block, was he not the only one on the existing offensive staff that got a raise and extension after last season ?

In a perfect world, Friend and Weinke hit the road.

If Pruitt can upgrade a position coach, he seems keen to do it. He did it with players. Not sure why he wouldn't with coaches if the opportunity arose.

 

[livefaith]

I've been surprised at how Friends coaching abilities have improved since blue chip players have arrived. I don't know how he's done it, but he is.

 

[Frivolous]

Rocker and Weinke have contracts that run out at the end of the month (so did David Johnson). Seems like they would have been extended by now if Pruitt intended to keep them on board.

 

[sjt18]

Whose contract is up?

 

[TMvol10]

This offensive staff has coached together for 1 year. I’d like to see them all stay, continue to build the offense and see what we get in year 2

Just copying Pittman.

They are friends. WF makes $800k. Not happening.

 

[YankeeVol]

Weinke is the most likely IMO

I love the optimist side of Behr.

 

[Behr]

I love the optimist side of Behr.

Its true though. Not everything is going our way, but come on, no one can deny some things that would normally have gone the other way has gone ours. Hell, if it just evens out it will be huge. Lol.

Good afternoon, Mrs. Friend
