While I'm not sure how Foster feels, sometimes a OC/DC is very content not having the pressure of being the head coach. I think that is why Chavis is still a DC. He just doesn't want to be the big dog. Sometimes 600 grand to a million plus a year is enough for a man.

Let's limit this one to names and any news, tweets, rumors, etc. that are out there about the candidates, but no discussion.

List:
Gene Chizik
John "Chief" Chavis
Willie Martinez
Bob Shoop
Bud Foster

I will add to list periodically. Thanks!

FROM FOOTBALL SCOOP TWITTER
@Footballscoop Spoke w a number of sources today re: Tennessee. Their goal is championships. They believe bringing in a new DC is a step in that process.
@Footballscoop Several (know 3; maybe 4) Tennessee assistants had offers over past month for better money…chose to stay. They believe results are close.
@Footballscoop Truly understand why Tennessee would want Shoop, & know his family loves TN; but I’ve heard Butch is considering a number of guys… Don’t think he’s locked in on anyone yet.
@Footballscoop Tennessee might wind up with one of the “hot” defensive coordinators; but also wouldn’t surprise me if Butch went a very different route.

So what are some of the vols players saying about the situation? Do we not have anyone on volnation stalking Twitter feeds or Instagram?

I think Shoop is the front runner and even heard Hyams say that he was hearing that Shoop had an offer, but if not Shoop could Butch possibly have connections to an NFL DC that no one is hearing anything about, I mean the Larry Scott hire came out of nowhere.

How long do we think before a decision is made? Can't be too long with signing day approaching.

Foster's base Salary was only $600,000 this year. I am sure there were clauses like any other contract but very doable considering Jancek was making $500,000

Not sure where you get your info from but:
Bud Foster is a rich man. The longtime Virginia Tech defensive coordinator is the highest paid assistant coach in the country, according to the recently released salary database from USA Today. Foster earned $1,369,500 in total pay this year, edging out Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart for the top spot.

Nick Saban has a pretty good defensive mind. Maybe we are waiting until after the NC game to announce?

Kacy Rodgers is probably unrealistic but I can dream. He has done really well in NFL. Butch, make him say no.
