Pruitt Staffers

[CookieVol]

Really want to keep Gillespie on. I think it would be bad to let him get away.

I do not want to lose Coach G for several different reasons, recruiting being the biggest one. Of all of Botch's staffers, he would be the one with the best chance and most obvious one to keep on staff. I am not necessarily a fan of this move but for the idea of discussion do you think he might promote him to OC? I have no idea of any play calling in his past. Just a thought.

 

[Biopsyman]

I hope he wipes away the Butch Jones finesse zone read crap ball.. power football in a must in this league

 

[orangeluvr]

If they could pull this off:

DC: Tosh Lupoi
LB: Kevin Sherrer
DL: Tracy Rocker or Lance Thompson

That is an all star recruiting defensive staff.

You got that right! All mentioned are respected amongst their peers.

I don't think he will be promoted to OC. I think an incoming coach would want a clean slate when it comes to coordinators. Interested to see what Pruitt's offensive philosophy will be.

I wonder if Jones left some fake dog crap in his office

I'm not that excited about a Dan Enos hire, but most of us that wanted Jeff Brohm would probably be pretty happy about Tyson Helton, in my opinion.

Kiffin brought the zone read to Tennessee. As long as you have the personnel for it, it can work.

Why would helton be good? What am I missing? Just dont see it but im open to someone laying it out for me.

Offense is what scres me with the hire. Everything else looks great.

A lot of people wanted Brohm; Helton was his OC at Western Kentucky. Together, they lit it up on offense. Brandon Doughty got drafted probably because of Brohm and Helton. Doughty threw close to 100 TDs in the 2 seasons that they were a unit.

He did?

 

[dougvolfan]

Who do you think will be on his staff.

 

[golfballs]

He did?

Oh yeah. He definitely favored zone blocking. He incorporated it in at Bama too. Not all the time, but they ran zone.

 

[EricFreakingBerry]

Helton was also the QB coach for UAB back in 2010 when they nearly beat us in Dooley's first year, passing for about 400 yards on us.

Thanks

Tosh lupoi as DC please

You'd see a flood of tears in Bama if they had to deal with a double-whammy like that but it's possible but not likely.

 

[Leavertons Tackle]

If it's true that Saban is going after him too, I'd say so.

If Sherrer replaces Pruitt at Bama, Lupoi probably wouldn't stay with Saban. I'd guess one replaces Pruitt and the other becomes our DC.

 

[tbones0711]

It's possible we'll be seeing T.Helton out of USC as our OC. Please spare me Tee Martin stories. Read into it and do some research please. Tee's trapped by his wife's career and to this point a degree of inexperience. No, the good ole Vol fans want to bring in young man and essentially destroy his career before he even get's started. He's in a good position for him and his family at the moment.

Hmm...I was under the impression that zone read and zone blocking were two different things.

 

[dono]

Any love for Randy Sanders as OC?

He left some real on the field.

 

[tbh]

Nah...it's hard to tell the difference, but that was Lyle's playbook, not plastic dog crap.

 

[CookieVol]

Zone blocking is more of a flow blocking style of who is in front of you at the time but zone read is a specific play where you read the play of a specific coverage or man's decision and play off of that

This is my hope. Sherrer seems to be getting the media love to replace Pruitt. It’s fine with me, I’d rather have Lupoi.

Kiffin ran a pro-style offense when he was at Tennessee. He never ran zone read plays. He incorporated that with Jalen Hurts at Alabama, though.
