Chaney Officially named New OC

[Jmavols2]

i think he was the lions db's coach and was tampa's before that

 

[CheckerboardEndZone]

Gee, don't know what to think of this but O just did not want to come here, evidently. Lake? Monte would know if that is the man he wants.

I tell you what I like out of all of this - NO good ole' boys from the UT family - all fresh outside blood. Just what we need imo.

 

[Volsfan15]

Yep, i think we got what i know i wanted, New Blood

 

[vol_in_ar]

I think YOU need to watch it again. He never said it.

I think he did actually, or something to the effect that the other VIA said. That was the part he was talking about having patience with him.

He did make a comment that he'll assemble a staff that any NFL GM would be happy to have.

Don't recall when or where he made that comment.

Trying to locate it myself, but I do remember it being said.

He said the G.M. comment

Appreciate's the other's remembering the comment..

VIA, I did try to find the video of the first presser, I remember I watched on WATE on-line at work, but I can't find it

found a transcript on rocky top talk, but it didn't include the Q&A, which I believe is when he made the statement

 

[UT4EVER]

Really, he is DB coach for Lions?

This is what my AU buddy just emailed me... I don't know anything other than what he says below:

U see this?
*
UT looks to have added two more coaches*

Jim Chaney, formerly of the St Louis Rams and Purdue,*as OC:

Mr. Chaney has lost some serious weight. Wow. That takes discipline. Hope he can coach that too (not the weight, the discipline).

 

[Cincy Vol o5]

Yep, i think we got what i know i wanted, New Blood

...I think we got what I know...?

 

[DaytonLawVol]

I have no reason to think that this is anything but a step up. The Boilermakers were an offensive juggernaut under Chaney and has NFL experience. Are we going to become "pass happy" under Chaney, or was that Joe Tiller's doing?

 

[VolinArizona]

It was from the first press conference. And if I am not mistaken it was from a question fielded from Ron Bliss.

Definitely not from his first press conference.

 

[NYYVol]

Definitely not from his first press conference.

That's how I remember it...because a question was asked about the staff, and then Bliss followed up right after it.

 

[davetn]

Is he pretty? That'll determine how successful he'll be. Just ask Joe Pa...I mean he's pretty ain't he?

 

[volmsbd]

Let's see...Chaney turned Brees into a Heisman candidate, who now is one of the most prolific passers in the NFL for his era. Just came within 17 yds of breaking Marino's all -time passing yardage record for one season...think he might be able to use this as a recruiting tool?? Kiffin reminds me of Calipari...

We'll make field goals when they count?

I may have missed this, but, is there any connection between chaney and lane?

Welcome to Big Orange Country Coach Chaney. Let's get this ball rolling.

 

[rexvol]

well, I for one am fired up about this hire.

 

[buckeyevol23]

I searched "Jim Chaney" and this is the first article that came up. It's by Tom Lemming and pretty old(probably early this decade) but it talks about Chaney's football background and recruiting prowess. It's a good read and it definitely has me excited to have him on the staff.

ESPN.com - RECRUITING - Chaney stokes Boilermaker offense

 

[tidwell]

I'm down... even if he ain't pretty.

Michael is no longer on the staff

 

[LSU2136]

I admit it is starting to look like only a ploy for O to get more money from LSU - doubt he (or his family) were ever really serious about the UT job.

I think O had real interest in UT until the family issue arose. I honestly don't think O expected Miles to come calling at first. The ability to stay home and coach college ball might be too much for him to pass up. Any other situation and he goes to UT.

 

[BuckeyeVols]

Will this new OC have any play calling duties at all? Or is this just a a fancy title for recruiter/QB coach?

 

[BuckeyeVols]

Has Orgeron "officially" accepted a position at LSU? (Sorry if I missed the obvious somehow, I had to work today!) :crazy:

 

[TnPowerT]

Being from St. Louis, I see him as more of a qb coach and a recruiter. If he does call plays we will most likely turn into a pass happy team. I think we really lost out on gonzalez from florida :ermm:

 

[LSU2136]

No sir. Some believe it was accepted in principle and that the final signature will be given tomorrow some time. Ed is apparently taking the family on a small vacation to talk things over and make sure everyone is happy about the deal.

Football Scoop is reporting but saying 'they are skeptical' about the news.
