Talk of Chip Long to Tennessee as Offensive Analyst

[Wireless1]

Hill...lol. Got a good friend who's a D analyst in the NFL and most NFL teams are using them. It's filtered down into College now.
They leave no stone unturned knowing such things as what plays teams run the most on certain down and distances etc.

He could have been analyzing GA State and BYU last year while the rest of the staff concentrated on Florida.

would not be surprised if this is partially an insurance policy in case Chaney isn't here in a year or two, for a smoother move into OC

Saban move if so. Keep a stable of talented QC and analysts ready to take the step up. Love it

 

[Smokeyone]

Maybe this is security in the event Chaney calls it after next season or the one there after?

I can see that.

An elite recruiter on campus on the cheap? Yes please!

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Chip Long would be a damn good addition to Jeremy Pruitt's coaching staff

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Offensive Analyst.

Analyzing the offense.

Brevity

 

[TN_Transplant]

I just don't see it. Maybe he's better than I realize but I'm not sure what he could add other than extra set of eyes evaluating game film. Maybe he'll notice some things that can be implemented in our game plans but I don't see how he's any better than a typical SEC analyst.

It's about workload. While Chaney is preparing for the next opponent, this guy can be preparing for the one after that.

Get it done!

Rumors out of South Bend were that there was fixing to be a mutiny of players if Chip Long returned.

Great Coach
Great Recruiter

Struggled mightily in the locker room. Tifwiw

Controlled rumors imo.

 

[i2amavol]

More precisely, CJP is following the model that has been implemented at Bama over the years and gradually setting up UT football to replicate that.

Or at least his own version of that.

Not buying the narrative out of South Bend?

 

[CagleMtnVol]

More off field staff changes happening?

Tennessee: Sources tell FootballScoop Jeremy Pruitt plans to hire Andrew Warsaw as his new director of football operations.

Warsaw served in the same capacity for Joe Moorhead at Mississippi State the past two seasons.

Warsaw was the NFL’s Director of Game Operations (2016-17) before joining Moorhead’s MSU staff in 2018. He also has administrative experience as the director of football operations at Purdue (2015-16) and three seasons as the operations coordinator at Arizona (2013-15). His duties included day-to-day operations, travel coordination, player personnel and recruiting logistics.

Current Director of Football Operations Todd Watson isn’t going anywhere though, Per FootballScoop, Watson won’t be leaving the Volunteers, but his title and role within the staff are being adjusted. Watson joined the UT staff after serving as Director of Operations and High School Relations for Troy from 2015-17.

Not one iota! Kirby Smart level spin.

 

[vols40]

I think you mean YUGE.

BIGLY

 

[DaddyChad]

Not buying the narrative out of South Bend?

Hmmm. Seems to recruit players really well to not be able to identify with them in the locker room. Of course butch was a great recruiter as well.

 

[85SugarVol]

Not one iota! Kirby Smart level spin.

Like most rumors, there is probably a modicum of truth... But probably completely blown out of proportion

Uh....so those putting out rumors want people outside the ND crapshoot want us to believe that LONG is worse with players than Brian Kelly?

Sorry, but I'm just not gonna buy it......Kelly's days are numbered at ND....

 

[Smokeyone]

I work with a ND fan and when they announced the Long was leaving he thought that he was going to be the head coach of Memphis. Long has been interviewed for HC positions and Bama wanted him as OC at one point. I am unsure how he fell to analyst but he should help alot. There were rumblings some players at ND didn't like him much, but I don't know how much he will actually be working with players in his new role. Should help improve our atrocious redzone offense.

Most because Notre Dame is still paying his salary and this gives him time to assess the market for his services. He will likely be in high demand next offseason and will decide where and what he wants to do

He’s probably a lot like Butch Jones. And I don’t mean that in a joking way.
