I know they just hired a new offensive line coach, and that would be Will Friend who held the same position at UAB, replacing UGA's Stacey Searles who left for Texas last month. I know Friend used to play at Alabama.

I don't know whether you're talking about a new Graduate Assistant, to take Sirmon's place, or a new position coach at Georgia. I'm assuming Graduate Assistant seeing as a new coach at Georgia would have nothing to do with Tennessee Football.

Well If the original poster isn't going to say anything, I guess we will all just continue to be dumbfounded, but in the mean time, ENJOY!!! :run:

Can we be anymore vague? Heard a rumor the guy coming has coached some football in the south.

I don't believe he ever said he coached in the south. You're just adding details

a guy with some kind of ties to Auburn (maybe coached, maybe played, maybe just wears orange/blue neck wear) may or may not be rumored to come to UT as a GA

there is a guy on TOS who is saying that we may have hired a graduate assistant to replace Sirmon. The only detail he will reveal is that he has ties to Auburn. I was simply asking if anyone else had heard anything.

there is a new rule in place. a GA has to be someone who jsut got out of school? Can't have been a full time coach before... I can't recall all the requirements but it is like a "rookie". not someone who has coached.

Like Nick Reveiz could be a candidate if he was not wanting to pursue the NFL.

I can't remember the specifics but I think it is seven years after graduation. Apologize if I am mistaken. I do remember a thread about Dooley being pissed about the new rule. I wonder if this effects GAs already in place or would just be implemented moving forward?

I believe it is outlined in here proposal number 2009-10.

http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/AMA/legisla... Override/Adopted Proposals Summary Chart.pdf

In bowl subdivision football, to specify that a graduate-assistant
coach is any coach who has received a baccalaureate degree and
has either received his or her first baccalaureate degree or has
exhausted athletics eligibility (whichever occurs later) within the
previous seven years and qualifies for appointment as a graduate
assistant under the policies of the institution.
