What about the offensive staff??

[BigVolFan]

I have heard about who the DC will be and everything about the defense, unless I have missed it who might the OC be?

 

[TennTradition]

Possibly Oakland's TE coach (Skipper, I think...)

 

[vols kick balls]

Kelly Skipper and Bill Callahan have been mentioned.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Callahan would work...As long as he is NEVER and I mean EVER in charge of anything but the offense lol...The nightmare in lincoln is still fresh

 

[Smokey1]

Man, I hope we get Joe Whit Jr. from Louisville too. With him, Lane, David, and Coach O, we have easily one of the best staffs in the nation....let's not forget about Latrell also.

 

[Volholic]

Don't want Latrell. Purge em all!

sorry... but is this old news?? ESPN - Sources: Monte Kiffin to follow son Lane Kiffin to Tennessee Volunteers

I didn't see anything about the offensive coordinator in the article........that's what the OP wanted to know about.

 

[The Ambassador]

He will definitely have an offensive coordinator, but I guarantee you that Kiffin WILL call his own plays, much like Spurrier and C.U.M. at Florida.

so there's absolutely no shot that Clawson gets to stick around another year?

 

[I40VOL]

when you find out who is out recruiting for tn today..then you will know who from the current staff stays...i think Scott, possibly drayton and even caldwell stay...you got to keep some SEC people around

 

[mkil5]

so there's absolutely no shot that Clawson gets to stick around another year?

There are 11 SEC schools that would love that. The only one that doesn't is the one that counts.

 

[VOLnMiami]

HA!...Clawson is on the phone as We speak trying to round up another job...He shouldn't have a hard time finding one, He does have a super record except for the blemish at UT...He's a good guy, Bad coordinator tho...I wish him well

 

[toxicdonut]

No chance in hell.

 

[BigSteve09]

well all that i've heard about it is "BRING BACK TROOPER!"

yawn

I don't think he's a bad OC either. He just wasn't in the right situation at the right time. Our strengths did not match up well with his. He'll land another job quickly. Probably not at the same level though. Or pay scale.

 

[VolsRule]

Will richmond take clawson back as an assistant? That may be his only option.

 

[grivira]

I don't think Cum calls his own play.......

Sorry CUM.

 

[eloist]

I don't think Cum calls his own play.......

Sorry CUM.

he does not.

Dan Mullen does. We should hire that guy.

That would be hysterical.

 

[orangetanker11]

I've heard David Reaves from South Carolina. My personal favorite, however, is Shayan Tariq. Read more about him here:

[Smashville]

So not one IAA program will be willing to take on a 41-year old 2 time IAA coach of the year?

 

[onevol74]

I think that he should bring Coach O. Then we can have closed cage matches during the off season between Coach O and Pearl on Friday nights with the winner getting his choice of Ft. Loudon babes as a prize trophy.

 

[the6chambers]

I know the defense is gone, but what's the word on the offense?

Sorry if this has already come up, I hadn't seen anything on it yet.

 

[TennTradition]

He may be waiting to hire his OC to make those personnel decisions...it sounds like the DC is hired and those decisions (on the defensive coaching staff) have been made.
