We've always had a team known for putting players in the league. Can you imagine how good its going to be now that we actually have former nfl coaches coaching these kids before they ever get there.

Not many teams in college will be able to say that they're getting coaching across the board from former nfl coaches. Defense, offense, special teams, the kiffster will have it covered. If that isn't a monster recruiting tool i don't know what is.

Let us win 8, 9 games next year and win our bowl game. It would be on then. Good things are about to happen at tennessee.

I haven't felt this optimistic about a staff and possible future in a long time. Someone has finally breathed new life into a stagnant program. I almost feel reborn.

Alright thats my rah, rah speech for the quarter. Expect another sometime around or after spring practice, lol.

Spring game will be interesting, and should be well attended and exciting, I can't wait.

am i the only one who's a little skeptical of all these NFL coaches? The college game is so different from the pro one that the transition isn't always that successful. It's one thing for Kiffin to go from college to pro to college in a 4 year period, but another for the elder Kiffin to go from college to pro to college in a 25 year period. There's a reason why some coaches are better suited for one verus the other (i.e. Spurrier, Saban, Carroll). I'm not worried about Orgeron making the transition, but a bunch of the names being thrown around have never had to recruit or deal with stupid 18 year olds making stupid 18 year-old mistakes. I hope I'm proven wrong......

I'd say having to deal with all the baby's and prima donna's in the NFL should give them adequte preparation. (To appease the mods.)

We are putting together the best coaching staff in college, I mean the best. We have the best or in the top 5 facilities in the country. Long history of getting players to the NFL, and I think we should take a slightly different approach to the de-commits of late. Let them go! It is there loss not ours! It is like Kiffin and all are not just recruiting but drafting for the future. I bet some of de-commits will look again after we get our coaches together and we will say, TOO LATE, thanks but no thanks. I mean some of these guys were not chosen my Kiffin but he had to honor the offer. Now he has more to use to get the men he wants. It will be so much better than we ever thought possible! GO VOLS! :cool2:

I understand what you are saying, but Kiffin's lack of success in the NFL is similiar to Spurrier, Saban, and Carroll. Maybe he will eventually be in that company. One can only hope. But there is one flaw in your logic. Successful NFL coaches rarely come back to college as the NFL job is considered superior and pays more. Therefore there really isn't enough data to speculate on POSITION coaches having or not having success in college. In my opinion of course...

It's a rainy day here, so I've been looking for a trouble spot to think about regarding a mostly NFL staff.

Best I can come up with... compliance.

The NCAA is a quagmire of rules and regulations on everything from recruiting, to the amount of time one can actually spend coaching a kid. Easy to run afoul of Big Brother. I hope we have someone to keep these guys from unknowingly stepping in an NCAA dogpile....

Well with Monty its going to be the X's and O's you have your assistants, Coach O and CO, to be the spark and handle the players. I don't see Monty relating to the player and giving them a big chest bump when they come off the feild.

That's funny. I just saw a photo online sometime yesterday where Monte was actually chest bumping a guy coming off the field. :D

That's a good point. Even if there is enough data on position coaches, normally they fly under the radar, thus preventing me or other normal fans from being aware of them

And don't forget that they get to tell all recruits that Meyer will bolt Florida after next season for his dream job at Notre Dame! :)

Have they had to deal with stupid NFL players making stupid decisions?
