Finebaum Talking About OC Search

[VolnJC]

coming up in next segment...one tidbit in prior hour, he talked to Bruce Feldman about Chip Kelly. He said that Chip told him he would probably not accept an NFL coordinator job because he would not leave a team before the season was up. This meant to Feldman that Kelly is definitely interested in getting back into the college. Would he take the OC job for one year or set out a year and wait for ND or another big job?

No way Chip Kelly takes an OC spot at Tennessee. He would be on every major programs short list for HC. He'll sit out a year.

Kelly would be a perfect fit. Hire Bo Hardegree Butch ,hire a shooty S&C coach and definitely keep Martinez for secondary and hopefully we get Kelly.

A little entertainment before the b ball game. Thanks for the heads up.

Don't want a "One and Done" coach. Not good for the Program.

 

[BigSteve09]

Kelly isn't coming to Tennessee, but I am interested in the Helfrich/Hoke rumors

please post cliffnotes for those that can't tune in

Butch remarks on OC search

1) critical hire
2) has to be able to develop QBs
3) "right fit"

#Vols coach Butch Jones said it's already been a challenge returning all the text messages regarding the offensive coordinator opening.

3rd OC in 5 years

have improved every year in PPG

 

[YankeeVol]

Just get Helfrich

 

[NEVolFan]

Paul pulling quotes from VN now... will be using info in his review.

 

[YankeeVol]

It'll probably end up being Azzani

Griffith: "he's already said the offense will not change."

Griffith: "he's already said the offense will not change."

I just heard that too. Very disappointing...

Disappointing?

 

[YankeeVol]

Griffith: "he's already said the offense will not change."

Azzanni IMO, which would be a HUGE disappointment.

Griffith: "he's already said the offense will not change."

So how many OCs are willing to adapt to your system? Probably Azanni

Didn't he say the same thing when he hired Debord?

 

[VolnJC]

Griffith doesn't think it's Helfrich because Butch wants to keep his system

Tee Martin and Randy Sanders are possibilities

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Also said "looking for someone to put a fresh new spin on things."

 

[gc49ervol]

Why disappointing? We were 2nd in the SEC in scoring I believe with over 35ppg. Our offense wasn't the issue this year.

 

[Squoshua17]

Disappointing?

Yes. Disappointing... Butch basically said he won't be relinquishing any of his offense. It looks like more 3 & outs and no downfield passing game.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

SEC Country's Mike Griffith just said his top 3 would be Tee Martin, Randy Sanders, and Jim Bob Cooter.😄

 

[Squoshua17]

That #2 ranking is misleading. We were awful in time of possession, negative plays, and number of punts.

 

[WestGaVol]

Who cares if the O doesn't change, it's about game planning and calling the right plays based on the D you're facing. Debord seems to open book to page 1 and just goes down the list. OC must know how to read a D as well so he knows what to call and when based on What the D is giving them
