Eastern Kentucky: Multiple sources tell FootballScoop that EKU is interviewing Tennessee special teams coordinator Mark Elder for their head coaching opening.

You'd have to be crazy to leave Tennessee for EKU.

Wow

 

[Vols4life]

Turn them down coach Elder

 

[vol-un-tear]

Great coach. Wish him well. It's only a matter of time. The better we do....you know...

Unless you aspire to be a head coach. Probably not many that get the opportunity to jump from special teams coordinator to head coach.

 

[LA Vol]

Wonder if we could send them someone else instead?

 

[greenbacknative]

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! pay the man..

 

[Kurtastrophe]

Wonder if we could send them someone else instead?

Not gonna lie, I was thinking the same thing.

Wonder if we could send them someone else instead?

Perhaps a WR coach coach/passing game coordinator and a head groundskeeper to be named later?

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! pay the man..

Can't afford to after Butch's raises.









I kid.
Remain calm.

This would hurt. Not sure if he is heavily involved in recruiting, but the special teams have been awesome this year to watch.

 

[Ethan Hooper]

If this happens, do we move Debord to tight ends coach and hire a new quarterback coach?

 

[volnpowell]

hopefully they learned how he taught special teams, so just would have to find someone and tell them how to teach it. :crossfingers:

 

[Spawn]

EKU is tiny tiny tiny. Don't think that would be a step up for him

huh?

 

[MFL]

Got to start small if you want to move to head coach from special teams coach. Saban coaches are always moving on. I think it tells you about the health of the program. Tennessee is moving up so assistants will be moving up into other programs.

[Vfl2407]

Really hate losing him.

 

[Other_Guy]

Pay. The. Man.

 

[Special Ed]

Does Holly Warlick look anything like him?

 

[82_VOL_83]

Only way for an excellent ST coach to get a decent raise. Probably trolling the AD for a raise.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Does Holly Warlick look anything like him?

Awesomeness!

 

[Guyute]

Does Holly Warlick look anything like him?

Yes

EKU was up 14 at Kentucky this October. It's not a bad job.
