Doug Mathews says Pruitt has made OC Choice

[Vfl2407]

This morning on his radio show, Coach Mathews said he has been told (most likely by his best friend Fulmer) that Pruitt has his guy who has accepted the job.
But, Mathews said he does not know that name.
Said he doesn’t ask questions like that because he doesn’t want to know things that he can’t use on the air.
Said UT hasn’t made announcement yet “possibly” because the guy is still coaching somewhere else.
He added that this choice has been exclusively Pruitts and that Fulmer and the administration have not interfered.

Take all that with whatever grains of salt you wish. I’m just passing on what I heard.

Bill belichick welcome to Knoxville

So that probably means an NFL guy

Matthews don't know squat, but I guess it's great for radio fodder.

Sounds possible and if presumably that is the case then it may be 2-3 weeks before we find out. Enos to UT and Jones as OC at Bama?

Freddie Kitchens if its an NFL guy

If Jones was in Knoxville recruiting for Bama, then that would mean he has been given a coaching role at Bama otherwise an offensive QC hire couldn’t recruit

Maybe Leddy was here for RB coaching gig.

There is no way we are going to wait another month for an OC. If they think that is going to fly, they are clueless.

Welcome Back to Rocky Top Jim Bob Cooter VFL!

 

[DC_Vol]

Atlanta Vol said it was done last week

 

[JFBanicki]

Wow what breaking news, it’s even less informative than the insiders here. He’s “breaking news” but hasn’t actually said anything that he can’t go back later, like our insiders, and say oh I didn’t say anything was done, I was just reporting what I was told and the reason I was wrong was the other person, not me.

Doug may very well be right in the end, but I'm seriously starting to distrust anyone in the media that covers the program. I'll wait until there is a press conference with dude on stage in Knoxville before I get burned with more Tennessee coaching search shenanigans.

 

[orangerush]

Atlanta Vol said it was done last week

Soon

Wouldn’t that make you smile. I wonder how long it would take him to trash Bammers offense to the point of taking years to fix?

Not really. It means that Jones was given Locksley's recruiting credentials since Locksley won't be recruiting for Bama anymore. Jones is still not an on-field coach.

 

[TheDeeble]

Didn't Matthews say just a few days ago they had their OC and it was 95% done?

I'll believe it when he's announced by Pruitt.

 

[Ashevillevol]

So what will you do? Go Antifa on us and start burning cars and buildings until your demands are satisfied?

 

[Sara Clark]

So that probably means an NFL guy

Jim Bob Cooter?

 

[volcrazi]

Brian Daboll

 

[Rushin Orange Collusion]

Freddie Kitchens if its an NFL guy

Or Jim Bob Cooter?

 

[1972 Grad]

Butch is coming home as our new O.C.!!!

 

[1967vol]

LOL.what are you going to do about it? You will wait until it is announced.

 

[Rushin Orange Collusion]

Or Jim Bob Cooter?

I pulled a tooth last night just so the tooth fairy could give us an OC. I really took one for the team. The tooth wasn’t even loose!
