Builder vs Bringing Staff

[papatomany]

Out of that list, only Butch had a staff he could have brought. None of the others were head coach anywhere at the time of the hiring.

Anyone think Steele may end up DC here?

Since Heupel fired Steele yesterday... who knows? I wouldn’t rule anything out with Tennessee.

Thought Dooley was at Louisiana Tech? Was also the AD?

Correct me if I’m wrong but this is how I view it. Which is actually better for us?

1. Kiffin was a Builder
2. Dooley was a Builder
3. Butch was a Bringer
4. Pruitt was a Builder

Kiffin could coach, had a chance to beat Bama with a FG in the end. Haven't been that close since. Beat UGA with a gameplan for Crompton to have success with the bootleg.

You are absolutely right. Just remembered him as AD. Below .500 coach... maybe that's what caused me to forget.

Well, if you are a coordinator or have been out of the game a while and get a head coaching gig you will have to build your staff. If you are an existing coach with a staff you are comfortable with and you know each other well, it only makes sense to bring your staff over to a new program.

Don’t builders have their own laborers?

Wasn’t Butch building “brick by brick”?

Honest question.....What exactly did any of them build?

Unfortunately this is about it

A decent human being, without any personality disorders, who can also coach football is better for us.

Then we got a home run hire!

A bringer in this case is probably a better situation for the Tennessee football program.
