Larry Porter- Running Backs Coach Candidate

[TBrown]

Just wondering, why would we want to bring on a coach, who before he bolted, helped get LSU in trouble with the NCAA before he went to Tiger High?? We don't need any of the crap on staff right now.

Just so we're clear, you don't want Porter on staff? Wow.

 

[JAEvans24]

No, I'm good, but thanks.

Oh come here big guy:huggy:

I"d rather have Tee Martin coach RB's here. He's gonna be a good coach.

You mean the coach who, when asked why his receivers were dropping so many balls, said "I don't know. I never played the position."?

Considering that we have had enough nosing around from the NCAA, no. LSU is still under investigation for it, if I'm not mistaken. Plenty of other good RB coaches out there without the baggage.

would jay graham @ USCe be a better hire than him?

 

[nikesportsfan]

I'll be surprised if he doesn't wind up at LSU again

 

[BigOrange-Dozer]

Read on tos is CDD has offered Larry Porter job to coach running backs . The Grad assistant that was doing it is gone now.
tfwiw just passing along another rumor.

 

[bpalmer28]

Let the speculation begin on who will be let go to make room for Porter

 

[GahLee]

I'd be cool with it, a connection to the Memphis area.

 

[VOLorNuttin]

Being offered the job and accepting it are 2 different animals. There are like 5 different SEC teams that are after him, from what I read elsewhere. If Dooley has been told that he is staying, then I hope Porter does come, and that Dooley hits some homeruns on the other staff positions (OL, OC, DB, ST). Kiffin is killing it at USC. While Dooley has laid an egg.

Harry Heathstand:good!:

 

[RockyTopForMe]

Oh, please let us get a decent RB coach. I'd love to see a running game next year.

Would be nice

Whether this really happened or not, it needs to. Porter is a stud RB coach and we desperately need one. If the grad assistant didn't leave on his on, he should have been let go. You make room for a guy like Porter if you can get him.

 

[TennesseeOrange]

I think this would be a great move. From everything I've read he's a great recruiter with good connections to the Memphis area.

 

[bpalmer28]

Harry Heathstand:good!:

I think you be right. To the poster that indicated that Porter may not accept, I don't think Dooley would offer if he didn't think Porter would accept but you are right.

 

[Vol2424]

The GA is Chino Fontenette. He was Dooley's RB coach at Tech.

The GA had no choice and neither did Dooley. His 2 year term will expire soon

 

[NashVol11]

Very cryptic but per FootballScoop:

Larry Porter: We hear Larry Porter has a great offer.

Wouldn't be surprised...

 

[General Jack]

Would be a good move, good for recruiting and Porter was well-though of as an assistant at LSU if I'm not mistaken.

We could definitely use a soild RB coach (and a special teams coach).

Bad post deleted (poor attempt at humor)

And he needs to go. This is the worst our RBs have looked since I have followed Tennessee football.

 

[GmanTN]

The GA was terrible, hopefully someone can come here and teach the rb's
