What about the offensive staff??

He told Giles that he would meet with the offensive staff and then make decisions

Hopefully he'll hire a permanent ST coach to replace the dead weight TE coach position. That and an OL coach that can motivate his front 5 to be tight knit, protective of the QB, and a mean streak that makes em want to push people around.

Set them ALL adrift, especially Stan Drayton. After he told Jarvis Giles to basically look elsewhere, it proved Drayton's true colors included no big orange.

this is going to be great. think about it. In the SEC right know there is really only a couple of coaches that a Career minded quarterback would attend. We know have one of them. The other in my opinion are B. Petrino, Saban, Richt. I can not wait to see how this staff pans out. Sounds like C. Kiffin has already set the tone that change is here. I think we are in for a Great Future.

How do you know he actually told him that? Are you just basing it off of what you read on the internet? One of my friends is a close personal friend of Draytons,from all accounts he told Giles was he might want to have a plan B because he didn't know how things were going to shake out.

South Carolina fires OL coach; QB coach resigns

I figure Reaves is most likely coming here. This headline came from the ESPN ncaa football page. Go there if you wanna read it. :p

Is it really smart to keep someone on staff just because a recruit wants him there? :question: If Drayton stays let it be because Kiffin sees that he could be a great asset to the TEAM, not just to pacify a high school kid. If Kiffin does that he may as well let Giles coach the team.

I did not say it was the right thing to do

How dominant was Tennessee's running game for the season? Not very. There was little to no improvement over the season. 1 total yard rushing in one game--pathetic. It would be crazy to retain a coach who seems to not be able to maximize the available talent to land one recruit. Besides, Oku is still on board. Put him with Hardesty and Creer and that's a pretty good trio of backs.

I am not a Drayton fan, but when you cannot throw at all it becomes very difficult to run.

Kind of hard to run when you have to start dodging tacklers in the backfield

The running backs performed better under Trooper Taylor than under Drayton. Let's bring him back.

I'd guess Greg Adkins' line had more to do with the running issues than Drayton's running backs.

Adkins had the same line as last year. As a matter of fact, Tennessee returned the same trio of RBs as last year as well. The only changes were: Crompton/Stephens/Coleman for Ainge, Clawson for Cutcliffe, and Stan Drayton for Trooper Taylor.
