Lebby as OC and Odom as DC
@Bassmaster_Vol
Was this a possibility or just some ****
That’s a top set of coordinators if true

Lebby is a name VQ threw out there. DC is more likely to be Shannon

 

[Smokey123]

HC JH
DC Odom
DB Ansley
LB Steele
DL? Burnham?

OC Lebby
TE Osovet
RB Graham
OL Elarbee
WR ?

I could stomach this hire if we hadn't been told that this time it would be different because we had this grand scheme to pull a big hire. I wasn't banking on our program being a selling point. We are a dumpster fire. But I thought we paid an AD $1.8 million a year to help rebrand and deliver a solid coaching candidate. I knew our program was a dumpster fire, I just thought White was a bigger deal than he apparently is. New admin, same disappointment.

They haven’t been given the green light.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Ima bring this back out next season...

Go ahead. Offense will take a tremendous step forward. I bet Bailey, Hooker, Salter, Hyatt, Evans, Brown, and Wideman are excited. Looking forward to seeing what he does with Holiday too

Pls not Shannon. Ugh

 

[KPT_VFL]

If he can do that and just not leave us with 50 level 1 violations that would be great. Then we can do the real search again in a few years.

Please if he’s winning 7-8 every year he will he here for 10 years. We have accepted mediocrity.

I mean I will. Its not one of the 3 on my never list. Still doesn't mean I have to be happy about it though

Gonna need some time..

 

[ALLVOL24-7-365]

What ever and whoever if it's Josh Heupel then get here and get this crap show on the path thru the sanction hell!

 

[orangesoda]

Multiple schools (including Penn St bc he’s currently employed there) would go after James Franklin.

Nobody is going after Hugh Freeze. He didn’t get a sniff of other openings either.

Nobody went after Heupel either but our dumba$$! Freeze>>>>Heupel and it’s not even close.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Show him why

No..not doing that again. I am not Brubear, I really don't like everybody hating me. I just really hated the idea of James Franklin coaching my beloved Vols. I just wanted everyone to understand why.

 

[B EaZy40]

He has a $4mil buyout too? 😂

Can we really be this incompetent and incapable every single time?

 

[I4Jay]

I think nobody wanted to be HC with Fulmer as AD also

🎯

 

[Dooby15]

No matter what happens I’m probably keeping this avi.

 

[Bigorangebob777]

So....after all the shock, getting excited about the hire. Positivity is spreading. Waiting for rug to be yanked again, Steele or Dykes might be at the podium.. Roller coaster is about to plunge in 3.2.1

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Pls not Shannon. Ugh

As far as staff continuity and relationships go. I would rather Shannon than Steele

 

[OrangeGoggles]

As LA Vol put it earlier, this is likely going to be a bridge hire. Maybe it ends up a HR hire but we need this to be at least a double and someone that can get us to 7 or 8 wins annually which should be doable. Then when NCAA sanctions are over and we're in a decent position, we can flash the big money and make the above average hire since we will be much more attractive. Assuming JH can't get us beyond that threshold.

That's how I'm trying to rationalize this. I believe his offense will work well, it did for UCF and while he was OC at Mizzou. He needs an excellent defensive staff and a few above average recruiters as well. Let's do this!

Don’t see either coming

 

[govols717]

Neither Chris Low or Bruce Feldman has reported this

This is the only thing I have left to hold onto.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

It’s amazing how, when you run all the fancy numbers, he still won much less with more talent at the program Frost built up and handed off.

I’d love it if we were hiring Heupel as OC

 

[Ryno14]

Oh no...he does the ‘alright’ too....

 

[KPT_VFL]

Screw it... get fn Lebby and build a dang good staff full of GOOD coaches and GOOD recruiters and let’s cross our fingers.
