Any outside smoke/rumors?

It's because other team's fan base and their message boards stink compared to VOLNATION! We are 24/7 and we don't just "like" our team. We're obsessed with Tennessee football. Hence the crickets from them.

Or your life is more pathetic than the average fan board troll.

AD has nothing to do with the hiring of assistants outside of compensation.

CBJ and Debord are close. He could very well be playing an advisory role.

Even if that was true, why was there so much chatter about it? Coaches ask about other coaches all the time to get their opinions. Not sure why it has to be public.

It's possible that their discussions goes deeper than just finding an OC and maybe why these interviews have been much, much, longer than they should be.

Here's the scenario:

CBJ knows that he need to find an OC that not only fits the philosophy but also fits with his current staff. And that's the other problem. His current staff might not be a current staff. If Azzanni leaves to CMU, most likely he's taking 2 guys with him. I can easily see him promoting Gillespie to OC/RB coach and Mark Elder to DC/Linebackers coach.

It is interesting to note though that Butch talked about many expressing interest, yet not one outside source has put a single name out there. With all the interest we were told there was, shouldn't at least a few names have popped up by now? I've never seen the UTAD this tight-lipped. Normally there are multiple rumors by this point.

I think it comes down to the fact that if Azzanni leaves to CMU he most likely will take a couple of assistants. So it could be a waiting process to figure out who's staying and who's leaving.

This could be an Azzanni vs CBJ vs Debord vs current assistants. I mean who knows... it could be as wacky as Jancek, Stripling going to CMU and Azzanni is promoted to Ass. HC/Offensive Coordinator at CMU.

If Coach Z goes to CMU, I doubt any of our assts leave with him. CMU does not pay well. They make more as position coaches here than they would as coordinators there. And CMU will not be an easy rebuilding job, so I can't see them thinking of it as a springboard.

Your first statement is wrong. The AD has final say on any coaching hire. A good AD listens to his coach, but he still has to sign off on the hire, otherwise, it ain't happenning.

I can not see anyway Jancek goes to CMU as assistant to CZA. i really do not see any coaches going that are of major importance. CZA might get a graduate assistant or low level assistant to go; where they are climbing in the coaching ranks. But the bigger name coaches on the staff will not go there. The only reasonable way they go is if they have family up there who are ill and they want to be closer to them.

Sometimes it may not be about the money. What if assistants right now get along but when the new OC comes in they don't mesh well. I think that's what happened when Jay Graham left. Looked like it was a good decision by him.

A final review and approval is one thing.

An active role in the search is another.

AD stays out of it until then.

The more this goes on the more and more it does look like Debord is there as an advisor.

We'll see what happens.

I don't think that the process would put the AD in a position to wait for an offer to be made before he/she would have to veto or agree. Communication would occur as the process procedes.
