Since we are down a coach right now, can CPF step in and help with the OL?

I know we got into a little bit of trouble last year when he helped out at a practice. But since we are currently down one coach, I don't see why we couldn't use his expertise right now to help?

Thoughts? Too many cooks in the kitchen? Friend spooked because CPF is stepping onto his turf?

And yes, I know some of you are going to scream "He!! no!" -- but is that because you think it would wreck chemistry/continuity with the staff OR because it's against some obscure NCAA "Tennessee only" rule? :cool::p:D

They'd be better off giving Chavis a one year contract and let him work with the line. If he did well, they could extend it, although i think he doesn't do too much recruiting.

Why? Look at what he's done with all those 5 star linemen. Just sprinkle in some 6 star guys next year and we'll be ready to give UK a better game next year.

The line is generally decent in run blocking. Unfortunately not in pass protection which is a double whammy w JG in there. That’s why we need to throw quick passes and not stupid 40 yard out routes.

You'll can say whatever want about Phil, but I have zero doubt that man can coach up an O-line! I often wonder why more guys don't go back to being position coaches after they passed their prime as a head coach. With all those years of experience you know they can still be affective at coaching the basics.

The OL did ok against Bama. Jamir looked really good pass blocking. Cade got destroyed a few times. I'd like to see someone younger and tougher at center.

That beast Bama has at center... he could make the NFL AllPro team this year.

To give a serious answer to the OP-- I don't think the NCAA allows Phil to be an official coach. I'm not sure how that works, but I heard something to that effect a while back. It's confusing because Dooley was HC and simultaneously AD at LA Tech before we (begrudgingly) hired him at UT. So, I'm not 100% sure on it but I think there's some 'AA bylaw that prevents it or at least would limit it.

Not sure of the rules, but if they would allow, I think it would be ok to have PF helping out and advising Friend with the line. Friend could still be answerable to CJP, so things don't get weird between the AD and HC maybe. I don't know, I suspect our line will look decent the second half of the season. There's been some banged up guys there.
