S&C Coach Wish List - Who Say You?

Aaron Feld is one I would go after if the Miami strength coach, who was his assistant, does not want to come back home to Tennessee. Another name is Derek Owings, currently Indiana's strength coach, who was an assistant strength coach for one season while Heupel was at UCF. The last one is Zac Woodfin, who is currently with the Tennessee Titans but spent a lot of time at the collegiate level.

I would be surprised if anyone jumped ship from a national contending team, and that those teams would not pay what it takes to keep them. To your point, I would prefer a winner, however, regardless of what level they came from. Albeit, an average NFL guy is probably better than an average college guy. Thing id Schmidt had NFL experience Not running the ship though.

Worked under John Stucky who was strength coach for TN in the 90's and 2000's.
Part of many championships
Was on Staff during the 1997 and 1998 seasons at Tennessee
Was on LSU Staff from 2000 to 2021 in different capacities. LSU was always physical during that whole era.

THIS Is who I would hire if possible
 
Im not gonna hold you here, s&c coaches mine as well be anonymous to me, the only one ive seen get any recognition was more famous for drug addiction

They may not receive recognition, but they’re unquestionably one of the 3-4 most important members of a staff. It’s not a coincidence that Tennessee began to fall off after John Stucky resigned due to health issues and was replaced by a buffoon named Johnny Long.
 
Now that we’re in a dead period for cruitin players, can we cruit a top notch S&C coach? Anyone know if we’ve even been interviewing or had any interest in the job or if we’re waitin til after NC game and NFL season is over?

I have the feeling we are dipping into the NFL.
 
This is the next big need. Right up there with a 3rd QB, and maybe more important in the long run. Gotta get this one right. Vols were/are soft. That has to be fixed, and quick, if UT is going to run with the big dogs moving forward. Heupel is hiring for his future here.

I have no idea who...but it needs to be a home run.

Go Vols.
 
Nobody has heard anything about a S&C coach. I have a strange feeling we won’t hear anything for a little while.
I’d be really surprised if they don’t have someone in place by the end of January. Now that the portal is winding down, that is the next thing Josh needs to take care of.

I believe players report to campus on January 20th so the hire should be in place a few days before or after that date imo
