Congrats, Coach Wells!

Here's to molding our men into the most dominant OL in the SEC.

aside from recruiting ray well, what are Well's credentials? I don't know anything about him.

How is wells as a coach? Gotta admit, I don't know anything about him.

He's spent the bulk of his career at Western Kentucky. Bounced around the last few seasons.

Upgrade

Google is your friend. Experienced smaller school OL coach with strong recruiting ties in middle Tennessee. Had a year with this staff and OL players as a QC. Not a home run hire but he's never actually been to the majors...all good ones start somewhere.

Well, that doesn't give me the warm and fuzzie.. Is he a good coach? Does he know what he's doing? Is this an upgrade?

Willie Taggart fired Wells and Sheridan at South Florida. Not sure what to think.

Wells is a childhood friend and I'm so happy for him but I must admit that I can understand a little skepticism.

He fired Hoke from Oregon also

New coaches fire good coaches sometimes. I seem to remember UT firing an OL coach that we all wanted to keep.

I have to say, I'm getting excited about this staff. I'm going to choose to be optimistic about this team's
ceiling over the next couple years.

 

[Volatility]

Let's celebrate the fact that Mahoney is out!

 

[Jackcrevol]

this is a good move. walla has middle tennessee ties.

Get us a couple tickets, buddy.

When a head coach changes his staff it's to secure his own job. If a HC refuses to make changes and results don't improve it's their neck on the block, even when changes are made there's still no guarantees if things don't improve.

Wasn't he O coordinator though. Difference coordinator and O Line coach.
