Lance Thompson to become LB Coach at UGA under Kirby Smart (Rumor)

Apparently Thompson was mad because the two Kiffins placed him in some sort of an electrical closet for three hours with a guard outside and now he wants to leave

what ever happens at georgia is not going to stop the slide downward. I would assume CRG would leave soon. may CLK will find a place for him on our staff if Chaney leaves for NFL. Cannot imagine how CRG must feel to be passed over time and time again..Maybe he sold his soul off a long time ago and has no feelings at all. Will be interesting at the least to see what happens in the near future:cool2::cool2:

I'm not as bothered by the rumors as much as I am the titles. They state it as fact, then add "Rumor" at the end, but on the main page, that word "Rumor" doesn't always show up, so you open the thread thinking it is a done deal, only to realize it's just another rumor......

If it weren't for rumors, forums like this would dry up and go away. Rumormongers have an underlining desire for everyone to believe they have inside knowledge, that they are the first to know the real scoop. Kind of sad if you think about it.

It's pathetic. I, like other posters on this thread, are in favor of the creation of a forum for rumors only. Reading unfounded rumors on the football forum is a waste of time.

here we go again...dumbest thread yet...Kirby prob isnt even going to UGA and if he did Lance sure as heck isn't going to work under Smart over Monte

From everything I've gathered it's all but a done deal that Smart goes to UGA. I doubt Thompson goes though.

The only way he takes a lateral move is for a big pile of cash. Hopefully, UT matches anything Ga throws out there.

the sad part is if you read that thread some random fan just randomly brought up Lance's name as in maybe they can get him too just like someone over here saying hey maybe Bill Cowher is coming last yr..but then someone took it as a fact and said oh lance is going to GA which he is not.....he already worked under Smart and Saban and he chose Monte.

Lance is staying at TN.. he is Monte's protege' and future successor

i think i'm gonna make a new thread..........

MONTE KIFFIN TO COACH LBs UNDER SMART AT UGA....................rumor

If he intends to be a DC at a top program, I'd think his path quicker at Tennessee where the DC is 3-5 yrs tops from retiring than at Georgia where the DC would be young.

This is actually two rumors wrapped into one:
1. Kirby to UGA is a rumor
2. Lance going to work for Kirby is a rumor stacked on top of a rumor

They know what they are doing. Otherwise they would not start the thread, then run and hide.

But there is a big difference in the 2 rumors. First Kirby to UGA is a legitimate rumor with legs. From what I have read tell good chance it could happen.

Second one about Lance is nothing more than someone guessing and someone making a thread about it on Vol Nation. So we in turn are the ones that gave it legs. Yes could happen but we got too much other stuff to worry since there is nothing really backing it.

assuming this rumor has some legs, who in their right mind would leave 2 programs on the rise for a program that barring a miracle, will have the entire football suite cleaned out next year.

Remember our desperate attempt to breathe new life into a struggling football program (Clawfense)?

Does anyone else see any similarities?

I think they both see the writing on the wall. No way Richt lasts another year without a SECC. They would have to win the East, and beat AU, a team getting better fast, and probably beat Bama in the '10 SECCG.

I think Richt's days are numbered.

The have a ton more money that UGA.

You may want to reevaluate that claim. UGA has been near the top in football revenues and, more specifically, profits for several years (#2 in profit, compared to Bama who is #8).

Texas wins college football's dollar championship - Dec. 31, 2009)

And there's a plane sitting in Tuscaloosa that departed Peachtree-DeKalb last night around 8:30pm waiting on Smart to make a decision.

We'll see what happens.

If they want him that bad and he is that hot look for a coach in waiting and based on the past few years there needs to be one anyway.....:)

I wouldn't be surprised if you were right. That could be a big factor in this.

Wouldn't be too terribly disappointed about it either.:dance2:
