ESPN reporting Locksley to Maryland.

[Darthvol89]

Well this is unfortunate

 

[VolNJapan]

At first, we wanted the big hire but now this has lasted so long, we just want any one.

I am beginning to think that was their plan.... Get us to just be happy with any hire.

 

[Power T-Rev]

What about Canada?

 

[ETV]

I’m not in panic mode yet, but I’m panicking

Preparing myself for this administration to make a quick hire because they are now in panic mode.

 

[Dudleys87]

Tennessee just got jilted at the alter

Saddle up Smokey it’ll be a bumpy ride

Will Friend is our new OC

 

[joevol33]

That last part isn’t true or he’d already be named

That's exactly why it's him. Now they can say they tried to get some big name, but they all took different jobs. It's gonna be friend, nobody left. Freeze is as good to bama as crazy is to us.

 

[dduncan4163]

I don't see us landing Freeze but I also don't see us settling for Friend either. Hell maybe Jeremy has been waiting on Canada to become available. You never know

 

[joevol33]

I believe if it was going to be Friend it would have already been annouced. The only way it ends up being him at this point is if Jeremy had no other options.

I hope you're right brother, my faith is weary!

 

[dduncan4163]

What about Canada?

I'd take him. I know he didn't set the world on fire at LSU but I love his offense and think he'd do well here.

 

[aaronvol]

This is when we move in and get Enos...it's about to happen.

 

[bpalmer28]

That's exactly why it's him. Now they can say they tried to get some big name, but they all took different jobs. It's gonna be friend, nobody left. Freeze is as good to bama as crazy is to us.

So you’re saying it’s a conspiracy?

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Bet Bama has a hire in the next hour!

 

[joevol33]

So you’re saying it’s a conspiracy?

After the past decade, it's just the Tennessee way

 

[VolForLife83]

ESPN reporting Locksley to Maryland. Maybe we’ll start to see the moves take place?

Edit: added link

SOURCES: Maryland is hiring Alabama offensive coordinator Mike Locksley as its next head coach. Stadium first reported the hire. Locksley, who today won the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant, returns to a school where he twice served as an assistant. Matt Canada, who served as Maryland interim coach this season, and Michigan quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton, also were finalists.

Great. There goes Freeze

 

[Lukeparkerrules5]

Well looks like we get Canada

 

[Mccage]

This is comical. Another univeristy hires before we do. Freeze is going to bama now. Congrats at UT administration for screwing up another coaching search!

Proof please?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

That last part isn’t true or he’d already be named

Just wait...

 

[VolForLife83]

Bet Bama has a hire in the next hour!

Freeze

 

[Power T-Rev]

Well looks like we get Canada

He's was the hottest name a couple of years ago, but Orgeron screwed him over

 

[Dudleys87]

Proof please?

They sat on their hands

When’s the last time Saban had to go through that paces to Make a hire?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

It’s already been reported that they are not going to promote from within, jeez can’t y’all relax just a little

Yeah and it was also reported that only Pruitt and Fulmer are responsible for the OC hire. I mean lol.

 

[CountVolcula]

Well looks like we get Canada

He's likely going to interview for the Louisville job

 

[BIGAL27]

I can't think it was first name but that Barnhart guy said that he guarantees Alabama promotes Enus to offensive coordinator. Said it Saturday on Doug Mathews show

 

[Sudden Impact]

What does Freeze Accomplish by going to Bama.....Nothing except coaching 4* & 5* talent.

Taking a job at another School in or out of the SEC and beating Saban is more worthy of recognition than hopping into a program that continues to win NCs without him.

I don't know if Alabama is the place for Freeze to go....as an analyst yes He was just buying time. As an OC Bama going to do what Bama is going to do...

Waiting out HC jobs at Auburn and FSU is ok, but Malazan may not give him the keys to the car...and if Auburn starts winning with Freeze at OC why would they terminate Malazan's contract.

FSU would be his other good fit....ACC and we don't know how short the rope is at this moment. Still a good launching point for him...

Sexton is probably a major reason Freeze is not on board with the Vols at this moment....We are a good fit but it is a rebuild job for sure....Freeze can come here and wait out a SEC Job in 2 to 3 years...

 

[dduncan4163]

I hope you're right brother, my faith is weary!

I worry too brother but I set back and realized that Fulmer isn't Currie, Hamilton, or Hart. He and Pruitt knows what it takes to win in this league and I just don't see them bumbling this hire. We've become accustomed to incompetence over the last decade but remember that we actually have competent people making the big decisions now. I honestly think we land a good to great OC when all is said and done.
