Internet telepathy? It's the main source for Internet rumors.

Really, it was just a hunch based on what he had typed. :hi:

That was very well played. Sniffed out like a true journalist.

I think there are some very well-connected posters on this forum. :hi:

Monte Kiffin will be announced this weekend as DC. Ed Orgeron will be announced as Defensive Line coach also if the Saints lose tonight to the Bears. This is a fact as this was told to a friend of mine that had a conversation with one of the UT coaches in Charlotte.

Trust me on this one. I am the Man In Black. I'm pretty sure that everyone knew that this was probably going to be announced so it is no great surprise. Just a matter of timing. The Saints are all but eliminated tonight with a lose.

I hope he can break down the offenses weaknesses well. And, find some weaknesses that aren't apparent. He appears to be a STRONG RECRUITER.
















Joe Whitt Jr.
Defensive Quality Control

Entering his second season in the NFL, Joe Whitt, Jr., begins his first with the Green Bay Packers as defensive quality control coach.

Named to his position March 7, 2008, by Head Coach Mike McCarthy, the 30-year-old Whitt comes to Green Bay after one year with the Atlanta Falcons as assistant defensive backs coach. He coached the previous five years in the college ranks, beginning with the 2002 season as wide receivers coach at The Citadel, followed by a four-year stint as cornerbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at Louisville.

In his current role, Whitt's duties include breaking down opponent game film and analyzing their offensive tendencies. He also provides assistance with the defensive backs and special teams.

Last season in Atlanta, Whitt worked alongside veteran coach and former Packers defensive coordinator Emmitt Thomas in tutoring the Falcons' defensive backs.

During his time in Louisville, Whitt's recruiting efforts helped bring the program into national prominence and the Cardinals went 41-9 over that four-year stretch. After joining the staff in 2003, Whitt worked diligently to improve the Cardinals' recruiting efforts, and the program landed its first Top 25 recruiting class in 2005.

On the field, he coached All-Big East first-team selection William Gay, who led the team with six interceptions and was a fifth-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2007. Whitt also had a hand in safety Kerry Rhodes, a starter for the New York Jets, and Antoine Harris, currently with the Atlanta Falcons, making it to the NFL.

Whitt broke into the collegiate coaching ranks in 2002 as wide receivers coach at The Citadel. In his only season there, the Bulldogs saw their passing attack increase by 81.3 yards per game over 2001, averaging 219.8 yards in 2002. Under Whitt's guidance, all of The Citadel's receivers produced career highs in 2002, most notably Scooter Johnson, who improved on his six catches for 104 yards as a junior to bring in 69 passes for 950 yards and seven touchdowns to earn first-team All-Southern Conference honors as a senior.

A native of Auburn, Ala., and a walk-on as a player at Auburn University, Whitt eventually earned a scholarship and played for a coaching staff that included his father, Joe Sr., an Auburn assistant since 1981. Whitt worked his way into the rotation at wide receiver and contributed on special teams, battling several injuries along the way. After three shoulder surgeries and reconstructive knee surgery, he was granted a medical hardship waiver and became a student assistant at Auburn for two seasons, coaching alongside his dad.

Whitt graduated from Auburn in 2001 with a degree in communications. Whitt and his wife, Ericka, have one son, Joseph Jr.

Sometimes I wish I had .02. Last time I checked between my ears I only found a wooden nickle.

Well, we are in a recession now, so maybe you HAD .02 but depreciation hit you hard. Back on topic, I was under the impression that Monte was waiting until after their playoff run to announce he's joining our great university as DC

I'm so excited about the 2009 season, but as my luck would have it, I will be leaving for Iraq on June 21, 2009!:salute: :furious3: :banghead2:

If he has informed Gruden and his players, why not go ahead and announce it publicly. This could certainly help with our recruiting. Could this screw up his current NFL contract?

If Monte Kiffin is coming, I will be down right giddy! :)

Can't wait until the 1st game of the season in '09!!!! :dance2:

IMO Monte and coach O are the two biggest recruits on the board right now. Once landed (Monte seems to be a lock) detractors may want to take up a new hobby.
