Kevin Beard for WR coach?

[governmentmule]

Beard was Offensive Quality Control last year at Georgia.

I do wonder why that happened ?

If you could sign #76-100 of Florida's top 100 prospects you would have a better class than signing the top 25 out of Tennessee.

Eh, not so much. I realize you're exaggerating, but the disparity is nowhere near that big. For 2018, the top 25 in TN includes one 5-star, ten 4-stars, and fourteen 3-stars. By comparison, this guy is the #81 rated recruit in the state of Florida:

Randy Russell, 3-star, National Rank #512

Compares to this guy, who is rated as the #19 player in TN:

Kundarrius Taylor, 3-star, National Rank #482

So #76 - #100 in Florida is fairly comparable to #19 - #25 in Tennessee.

He may have thought Richt was going to keep him on staff and then once he was let go, he did not have a back up plan.

I'd like to see some movement on the WR replacement next week. Is Peerless still interviewing this week?

If you watched Miami's passing game last year it was good. He is also an up and coming recruiter in florida as well. He knows the next batch of young players coming up right now. This might be a good thing.

richt didn't hire him at receiver coach that wasn't him. He coached there when al golden was there. Canes could not get a receiver over 800 yards.. when he was there...im a cane fan. Its tough though he was with al golden so its hard to judge him. He may pan out here though him a Scott has ties together at the U, but keep this in mind don't sleep on SCOTT for the head coaching job if jones slip

lemme ask a dumb question. With all the ties to U of M, why would he come to TN?

Because Richt did not retain him at U of M.

If you like and respect Coach Scott, you better not wish that on him. :hmm:

Am I the only one who wonders why all the position coaches we are getting tend to be "mid-majors" instead of stealing someone with SEC or at least power 5 experience? granted everyone starts somewhere but I would think UT would be less of a "a rung on the ladder" and more of a destination for a position coach. Am I reading too much into this?

Scott, Warren, Shoop, Hoke, and now maybe Beard all had power 5 experience before being hired by Butch to replace members of his original staff. Debord also.

My opinion all college coaching jobs are a rung to the NFL.

CBJ, Scott & Canales provide plenty of offensive acumen. All that's needed for this hire is a guy who'll coach WRs well, recruit well and is a good fit in terms of staff chemistry. It seems like Beard probably checks all those boxes. Plus, he's available.
