lol, well to start off, yes, they have a 10X bigger reserve than we do at the moment since, ya know, they've won 3 recent National Championships. Second of all, who the hell knows or cares what Saban would do. I care about what Butch will do.

Seeing as Saban is firmly seated at the top of the SEC, the conference in which Tennessee plays in, I care a lot about what Saban does.

The more I have researched Debord the more this makes perfect sense and has me ready to support with excitement. Debord was successful in an OC role when he had talent,like any OC....but also brings a wealth of knowledge for our Oline, knows recruiting and Tightends. I could see co coordinators with Azzani, helping with OL and us bringing in a QB guru to govern our passing game. This would solidify our OL and give Debord the athletes he needs to be successful.

If we only lose 1 coach, we can only hire 1 coach. NCAA has limit on how many coaches school can have which iirc is 9. We need someone who is good with Qbs to be OC imo.

The biggest problem I have with him is him not coaching in 3 years and him not being an OC in 7. How can you say you're okay with that?

It's not brain surgery. It's football. You know, blocking and tackling. Generally, the team that executes best, and doesn't make mistakes, wins. That is , provided equal talent.

If every player executes his job properly, it shouldn't be that hard to call 3 plays that will go 10 yards. Do that a few times, and you have a touchdown. Do that a few times, and you score a bunch of points.

Serious question: what's your biggest concern in this regard? That he forgot how to coach?

I can think of a few splash names who have been out of coaching for a few years that I wouldn't hesitate to hire.

Or you do like some did when we hired DD, and know from the beginning that he sucked and would fail miserably.

Head Coach hire is much different that an Asst Coach Hire.

This is CBJs call and he has proven he is worthy of making it, by what he has done to date with the program.

Sorry you have to bring up the Dooley thing, a lot of insecure posters on this board seem to do so when they have nothing worthwhile to contribute.

Hamilton or Hart Hire. Sorry you don't get it and that there was a change in the AD department. Some of you need to quit living in the stone age and move on.

Still not sure that they hire DeBord at the OC position. He maybe hired in another capacity on staff.

Yes, because that's what I said. If you want to pretend like ignoring your opponents is good for business, stay blind. But don't make s*** up about who I'm pledging my allegiances to.

This thread has the potential to be legendary if this guy works out, like he did twice at Michigan.

What type of offense did he run at Michigan?

Clue: it wasnt a read option spread

While OC at Michigan, his QBs had combined rushing of -330 yards rushing

Yet, you're going to hire him to run a read option offense. Seems legit

Are they currently so desperate for work that they are secretaries?

Some of you think it's a great hire bc of what he did 20 yrs ago. What makes it a good hire and why does nobody have him on a staff? I mean its basically like hiring fulmer back. A guy who had success in the 90s and has OL experience. I don't see how this guy fits schematically. There are better options for this offense. But I'm sure some ppls fandom make them act like this is a great hire. Butch is doing his buddy a solid and loyalty can get you killed.

I just had it confirmed that Z will be the next OC. Waiter at Carrabba's heard us talking about it and said he was positive DeBord was not happening.
So...there ya go.

Im done arguing with the Head Coaches of Volnation. If you cant trust Butch by now i have no idea what to tell you, other than look at how this program was when he came compared to how it is now......

Yes. Because asking the poster what his gut tells him results in him saying he's not allowed to make a decision is better than having your own thoughts.

I'm sure that didn't come out the way you intended cuz it were a mess, so I'll give you my stance... I'm not stoked about this potential hire and I'm obviously not alone...it's not the discontent with Butch's choice it's the absolute statements on here. If his hire bombs out and impacts his wins/losses it will obviously affect Butch's job security and recruiting...HE KNOWS THIS...guys like yourself work yourself into a tizzy bemoaning every little thing as the death knell of a program...THERE IS NO SUCH THING...Stanford was a nonentity and Jim Harbaugh, had them relevant in two years and Top 10 in three. Tennessee is much more rechargeable and Butch has us in that direction... If this hire depth charges that we'll figure it out...we don't keep coaches that can't do the job. Just because people don't cut in front of you to get the best razor blades doesn't mean we can't see when we need a shave. :peace:

Hopefully, he won't hire him and we all can go back to looking forward to this year

I wonder if a teenager would want to play for him being much older. If he had a great resume and was old , then the young players may be ok with an older fellow

Do not get me wrong I hope it works and you are right, but why did Harbaugh not hire him or anyone else in two years?
Click to expand...

You really need to know why? There maybe a 100 reasons why he didn't.

Why do you care and why should we. Don't answer that because you can't. Not a Michigan fan.

If you are concerned about the Michigan staffing maybe you would be better off on there board and it would help you focus more on what they are doing.

Harbaugh was a great hire lots of money spent doing so, hope they get the results they want. Desperate hire but great timing and a good coach.

Lol chill out buddy. Why are you so worried about who Saban would hire anyway? If you're gonna go that route Urban Meyer is the better coach so id be more interested in who he would hire. But still, don't really care about anyone but Tennessee, and thats how it should be. You think Bama is worried about who we hire? lol handle your own business and we will be fine.

Who said I'm in a tizzy? If this hire is made, it's lackluster. Plain and simple. It might work out. History and common sense show that it won't, but it might prove us doubters wrong. Doesn't mean I can't rightfully question the hire.

And yes, my post is worded exactly like I intended it. The poster answered saying he's incapable of making an answer. Sorry you can't figure that out.
