Did CLK Speak With Croom?

[rexvol]

Does anyone know if they actually did speak about a position? Link?

 

[Lexvol]

I'm curious about this as well. Seems like more than one source had Croom in Knoxville last week.

Defensive side is set...does Croom have any offensive skills? I'd keep fishin!

He was a RB coach for a long time, wasn't that his position at Bama?

he was a center at bama

His NFL experience was on the offensive side.

Per Wikipedia:

Before coaching at Mississippi State, Croom was an assistant at Alabama for 11 seasons, one as a graduate assistant coach and ten more variably as inside and outside linebackers coach. During this eleven-year period on the Alabama staff Croom participated in ten bowl games, two national championships in 1978 and 1979, and he coached four eventual NFL first-round draft picks, including Cornelius Bennett and Derrick Thomas.

He then spent 17 years in the professional ranks as running backs coach at Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, San Diego, and Green Bay. Before going to Green Bay he served as offensive coordinator for Detroit from 1997-2000, and during his tenure in San Diego was on the Chargers' staff for Super Bowl XXIX.

No he did not. Hubbs was on the radio here in Nashville a couple days ago and said there was absolutely nothing to it. He has been trying to find something legit on it and said its just an internet rumor.

 

[rexvol]

So we can confirm that this is a rumor with zero substance?

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Internet rumor. That's what I get out of it.

That's what Hubbs said.

He also has coached OL for a season.

So he could possibly coach RB, LB, or OL.

That's what Hubbs said.

Good enough for me though.

But didn't Hubbs at one point admit he was in Knoxville, but wasn't here to interview? I thought I remembered him saying that.

Not that I am aware of.

What you should have just said:

because...

Rex posted his comment right after I posted my first. I just wanted to confirm in Rex's post with what I had read Hubbs had said. What the heck is the big deal??

yep, me too

I meant as an assistant coach, but that wiki said he was a D coach at bama, and a RB coach in the NFL. Either way, I was mistaken about his coaching position at Bama.

The wonders of wiki.

 

[rexvol]

Croom seems like a great hire for someone out there.

 

[Lexvol]

He is a class act.

 

[rexvol]

I wonder if feelers were put out to him. It seems like an odd rumor to have been created out of thin air.

 

[Lexvol]

I wonder as well Rex. I do wonder if he had energy left in the tank to keep up with the movers and shakers on this staff.

 

[rexvol]

You have to believe that he and Monte would get along just fine.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Croom would be an EXCELLENT RBs coach.

 

[governmentmule]

He is a class act.

yes he is,i would like to see him coahing at UT,be a big drop from HC though,he could be back in the NFL is what i'm thinking,but thats just my opinion
