More Possible Staff Changes....

Staff Changes at Tennessee

Chris Low reporting that Jim Knowles will be allowed to make some staff changes. Anthony Poindexter likely coming to coach safeties. I don't see Garner going and I would think Inge would be unlikely...Who do you think gets the axe?

Martinez is probably gone

[#1HomeGrownUTVOL]

Poindexter Would be an amazing get!

 

[Chitlin&theDude]

Anything on the S&C coach?

 

[Volfan76]

Martinez is probably gone

Yea, that seems likely, but who would the 2nd be? Inge or Chop? Players love chop

 

[Rocky Top T]

I hope he keeps Martinez, get rid of Inge and Chop.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Yea, that seems likely, but who would the 2nd be? Inge or Chop? Players love chop

I hear that Chop is not much on the coaching part, if true I don't care whether the players love him or not

 

[Thin Blue Vol]

word is that Chop is on the chopping block, better recruiter than coach.

 

[SubVet676]

Anything on the S&C coach?

This is not getting the attention it deserves, IMO.

We needed a new DC. Checked the box.

We need a new S&C coach. Crickets.

We need a new FG kicker. Ditto.

The most obvious need has been filled. There are at least two losses hiding in the next two needs.

Get. It. Done.

2026 doesn't have to be a rebuilding year. But unless the obvious needs are addressed, then 2027 will be...

Go Vols.

I thought someone reported all our edges were transferring because they hated Chop?

Exactly

Pointdexter coaches safeties. Hopefully Martinez stays.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Exactly

We need great recruiters though.

Why is that likely?

 

[SubVet676]

We need great recruiters though.

Recruits come when coaches win.

 

[Rocky Top T]

We need great recruiters though.

Yes, but the recruits need good coaching. I hear Chop is not a good coach

 

[Rocky Top T]

Pointdexter coaches safeties. Hopefully Martinez stays.

Martinez has done a good job coaching corners. Most anyone can coach Safeties better than Banks did

Pretty sure they haven’t renewed his contract yet?

 

[Pawleysvol]

We need great recruiters though.

Word is he can’t coach plus apparently his players don’t like him.

 

[Doberman]

We need great recruiters though.

Get someone that can do both.

He didn’t coach corners this season. He coached safeties.

 

[butchna]

He didn’t coach corners this season. He coached safeties.

Wrong

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Pointdexter coaches safeties. Hopefully Martinez stays.

No clue about Martinez, but Knowles defense is based on three safeties.

Strong safety behind the box. One that plays like a corner back and a free safety that also calls out the adjustments.
