Kevin Simon joining Vols’ staff?

[Freak]

I’m loving this staff! Former Vol Kevin Simon is expected to join staff. Simon worked in NFL as a scout previously. Simon’s addition is Program changing for the #Vols. BOOM!!!!

Hubbs confirmed. Simon is on campus working today. Not sure if his exact position or title though, but it’s an off the field role.

Nice!

I mean I loved Kevin Simon when he was playing as much as anyone, but what about his hire is program changing?

 

[vollygirl]

That seems to be Swain's line any time a VFL is hired.

Could he be filling the 'GM Like' role Austin Thomas was supposed to be in?

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

He was a Scout in the NFL so he knows how to properly evaluate footVol talent.

He's going to find us the hidden 5* diamonds that are only ranked as 2* and 3* and have a weak offer list that we can reel in fast.

I like it.

VFL...GBO!!!

Not sure how "Program changing" it is yet. But is sure is nice having more and more VFL's on this staff and administration. They're blood runs Orange, so now we just wait for the blood transfusions to the incoming players as the off-season progresses. Sure as hell beats the soft mid-major blood the last staff was infusing our players with.

 

[YankeeVol]

That's awesome.

The staff is definitely impressive

 

[omghulkhands]

Kevin Simon is really smart. I’m sure he will fit in wherever he is needed very well.

Pruitt already did that, and he's apparently flipped to fsu

He wasn't here before. Now he is.

First time since 2009 that UT has assembled a staff that didn't make me cringe.

Or he will help us land 5 star players that big time programs are trying to sign.
