Derrick Ansley Hired as New DB Coach

[SmokyRiverDog]

Hope Terry Fair is taken care of though. Hopefully, Fulmer has something for him.

Why? This isn't the welfare office?

 

[Dudleys87]

who would have ever thought it would take Fulmer to get them to open up the books and pay people to come here

 

[bigfredtn]

Well that’s one Colorado State coach gone.

 

[Lane Train 4]

Boom!!!!

I know last year was not what we all wanted but..
You can feel a change in the culture of the VOLS football program..
It feels like CJP and staff are building something big here for all us and we finally have an AD that will support that...
I am getting more and more excited about this year every day...
I ready for the Orange and White game already...
GBO

For whatever its worth, John Brice twitter says Ansley will have a DC role.

 

[Jackcrevol]

And the BOOMS just keep on coming!!! Man, my optimism just keeps growing.

TWSS?

 

[Halph66]

Well, that was quick.

Can't help myself. That's what she said!

I knew it 2 weeks ago

I might let you do my taxes, son.

 

[YankeeVol]

Good stuff

Let’s give Terry Fair the respect he deserves, he’s a VFL exponetionally more than he was ever a Colorado State coach

 

[VAVolsFan2009]

Fair's contract runs till 2020. He'll be taken care of. However, I would say he'll have another job well before that.

CJP will continue to upgrade his staff where the need fits. It will be interesting to see how he addresses the imbalance between the offensive and the defensive staffs. He probably still needs another DB coach unless Nieds moves over. What did Nieds do at Bama, LBs or DBs?

 

[gymmlover]

Was Fair's area of recruiting West Tennessee? If yes, then maybe loss of Russell to A&M maybe blamed on Fair.

I'd say ansley w/ a little help from pruitt will cover DB's...but there is some shuffling, for sure. Upgrading coaches on both sides, and you'd think results plus recruits follow the staff upgrades. All in all, pretty solid staff.

I...see? An audit in your future.

 

[Pepe]

So we're being DerRick Rolled?

 

[JCHateSteve]

Pruitt sure seems to be making all the right moves this off season. Between Chaney, pulling a top 15 recruiting class after 2 losing seasons in the middle staff turnover, and this, everything seems to be coming up Vols. Now let's hope it translates to wins.

 

[UT_King]

Huge hire. Four cereal.

Derrick Ansley Joining UT Staff

Well that is a home run hire without a doubt, as much as it pains me to say it.
Will give Pruitt credit for assembling a very good staff up there (but I still maintain Chaney wasn’t a good hire. By us or you guys). But Ansley is a hell of a get. Congrats.

God forbid! Why waste time on this small potato!
