Yeah, I kind of expected this...wish he had used this past off-season. Get healthy Cade and hopefully come back stronger!

No Stoops for me. Muschamp fine. He owned us even when he was losing a job and he's as intense as they come.

I personally have no desire for Stoops either. Not really a dig at his ability but he acted like he was already retired to me this year. I prefer younger and hungry. I also think Heupel could use a little fire from one of his coordinators and I prefer that he be on the defensive side. Not that he should care what I think.

Nakos board:

Travaris Robinson, Georgia co-defensive coordinator​

Ryan Walters, Washington defensive coordinator​

Chris Hampton, Oregon defensive coordinator​

Jay Bateman, Texas A&M defensive coordinator​

Clayton White, South Carolina defensive coordinator​

Jim Knowles, Penn State defensive coordinator​

Tony White, Florida State defensive coordinator​

Corey Batoon, Missouri defensive coordinator​

Knowles and Walters are appearing on every list so those really may be the two to watch initially. Didn't realize Travaris Robinson also coaches UGA's safeties...They have had elite safety play and recruits.

Nothing like VN recruiting forum during a good old-fashioned coaching search. Im here for it!

I bet Gruden could ramp up some defensive skills and take the gig!

Okay, so I took my mom to an eye appt earlier, and I was listening to the radio. Can't stand Tyler and Will but I listened anyway and one thing that was said caught my attention, and one thing that was speculated on did to. The speculation, William Inge is probably the next DC. Why? Because it will be hard to hire a DC if he doesn't have freedom to hire his own guys, and they're not convinced Heupel is willing to part with his other defensive guys. I could see that being true. Not saying it is, but it's not a huge stretch. It makes sense.

What was said, in the years Heupel and Banks have been here, supposedly tackle drills were not part of practice. On the one hand, it is hard for me to imagine coaches not going over fundamentals. On the other hand, I've spent enough Saturdays yelling at the TV to know our tackling is atrocious. If it is true, that's not only on Banks, that's on Heupel as HC. HC is responsible for making sure the fundamentals of the game are being taught. I hope it's not true. Surely it can't be. But when you think about our attempts at tackling...... You can't help but wonder.

Tim Banks had the same role at Penn State that Robinson does at Georgia.

I will take a guy who has a proven track record of being a defensive coordinator calling plays, rather than someone who has loads of potential

Out of that list Corey Batoon would get me the most pumped up. Sure Robinson would be an upgrade at coaching safteys but we don’t know if he would be one at DC. I think we also need a proven DC

Hubbs

This was my thoughts when the move was made. Walters feels like a logical choice and his resume is impressive.

Hubbs and CLow are both saying this will move quickly…lock in folks

Alex Grinch was great for a little whal, what happened to him?

His heart was 2 sizes to small...

Yep, going to be a fun next couple of days if not sooner.

Richard West is on the job..

 

[AppStVol]

Muschamp went from Co-DC with Georgia to an analyst position because he wanted to "spend more time with family." I'm not sure I can see him coming here.

This 100%. He’s received two large buyouts from UF and USCjr and isn’t chasing any longer.

He’s comfortable being around the game as an analyst and when you add in the fact Huepel has no connection to the saban coaching tree, I don’t see it.

Also, has a son who is a backup Vandy.

Sorting out the contract probably.

 

[Glitch]

In Dick we trust

 

[Glitch]

I think Mark Stoops should be added to the list too

 

[tnhunter 10]

 

[UTK]

One possibility I haven’t seen too much (unless I’ve just skipped over it) is Justin Wilcox. Was a good DC here for a couple years.

 

[LotteryPick]

Mark Stoops would be a sick hire btw

[Glitch]

I wear people.

I wonder if they hold off until after the Music City Bowl to make an announcement?
