Looks like Chaney is gone

[Honky]

According to Hyams...

Tennessee coach Josh Heupel on SportsTalk @SportsRadioWNML said today he will hire an offensive coordinator but he will call plays. He said you must treat players differently when taking over an undefeated team (Central Florida) v. a 3-7 team like Tennessee.

Scary, another control freak?

Only makes sense for him to go. He seems like a good guy, hope he lands somewhere that's really good for him to finish out his career.

With the new coach bringing his own offensive system, there would be no real reason for Chaney to stay, except to learn it so he can go somewhere else later.

Looks like it ..

Thank the lord, Chaney hasn’t done anything for Tennessee in his 2 tries here

Thank the lord, Chaney hasn’t done anything for Tennessee in his 2 tries here

Ugh yeah..... ok

Scary, another control freak?

Uhhh. He’s here because of his offense. Not someone else’s. If he starts meddling in defense then you can start to talk. But this is totally normal

Earlier everyone was calling for him to hire Lebbe as OC, now he's a control freak for bringing in his own OC?

That's ridiculous

 

[Paukotajs]

We sucked last year and we cheated... How is anyone surprised when the staff is getting fired?

He has ALWAYS called his own plays. Like Kiffin.

 

[ftsandersvol]

So essentially we hired an offensive coordinator, and for $4MM at that. Gotta love our administration.

Cheney’s day has come and gone. Evident over the last 3-4 years. Move it on over

 

[GreveHaller]

no more up the middle on first and second down for 4 yds total? man, I'll miss that.......

That’s ridiculous.

Heupel runs a completely different O. No sense keeping Chaney.......doesn’t even seem like a god fit.

Chaney was coordinator of a bad O in Tennessee. He was part of a staff that got Tennessee into trouble.......not saying either is any or all Chaney’s fault.....but I’m sure Heupel wants guys “he” can trust in there.

 

[wmcovol]

Why on earth would Tennessee hire an offensive minded head coach & keep Chaney? Chaney gets paid next year regardless.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

He has ALWAYS called his own plays. Like Kiffin.

Yeah, kind of like getting Kiffin but with the bonus of integrity.

 

[MurphyVol]

Chaney might would stay as OC (not play caller)/QB coach if JH wants him. He loves Knoxville.

He's definitely worth keep if he's willing to coach QBs

I sort of figured that Chaney would be sent packing by Coach Heupel.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Not a shocker.

 

[CrossVegas]

So there is a silver lining

 

[GoVols15]

Not a good sign. He needs to be the head coach, not offensive coordinator. He teaches the OC and always has the ability to change the play.
