Kippy Brown, Gran Gone - Rumor

[MDBJJC]

From OTS

We are talking to Kippy and Gran is about gone

 

[OrangeU]

I would take Kippy back in a heartbeat. Losing gran stinks, but that would ease the pain a bit.

 

[CountVolcula]

That would give us NFL experience and ties to Memphis

 

[General Jack]

I'm OK with Kippy but losing Gran sucks.

 

[chavisut]

Wonder if they are looking at Kippy as a WR or RB coach.

 

[Glutton]

we need florida ties..

 

[volfromfla56]

How's Kippy gonna do in Florida? I give a crap about Memphis.

 

[Volfan8282]

I don't get why Gran would leave, especially if we offered him the money. Doesn't make any sense.

 

[andymuffins]

Who cares about memphis....EG is our FL guy.

 

[MDBJJC]

Kippy would be replacing Wilson from what I understand

 

[CountVolcula]

The guy that replaces Wilson will be from Florida and have that taken care of

Being closer to his family, with regards in only having to recruit FL. You can go anywhere in Florida within a 4 hours drive, for the most part. These guys spend more hours recruiting, than they do coaching, IMO.

I think Kelly will replace Wilson. He has the South Florida ties

 

[ladyVOLfan333]

I hope we don't lose Gran.


it really sucks that we are losing coaches before we even complete the year and play our bowl game. :unsure:

Memphis doesn't hold a candle to losing Gran and his ties to Florida. If Gran does leave we are screwed in Fla.

 

[zjcvols]

I'm down with Kippy Brown as a WR coach.

 

[MDBJJC]

Kippy would be awesome. Would be the frst coach with ties to UT on our current staff. Kippy supposedly has Monte connections

Eh maybe ... you'd still be flying down to Miami though from Tallahassee, no?

Brown has more ties than just to Memphis. He knows a lot of coaches and is pretty respected in the game.

I like Gran as much as the next guy on here, but it's not like he is the only coach in the country that can recruit Fla. Lane will find an adequate replacement if he needs to.

WR coach and he would be a HUGE upgrade over Wilson...

And it does look like Gran is going to walk. I don't think we are going to offer him. But after seeing that Wilson might be replaced by Brown, I have no worries at all about losing Gran. The Kiffin's know exactly what they're doing. If they don't think Gran is worth the money, then I don't either...

+1

Maybe, but you have to figure that he would have many stops before that. Driving would be a better option if he is on the road down there.

I wonder who would replace Gran?

 

[CountVolcula]

LV, Do you think they will still go after Kelly at USF?
