What's next? The OC search..

So why hold until after NSD? Is it because players would decommit and not sign based on who the OC is? Im hoping he is taking his time to make sure he has the right person in place.

The real question is... Can Mike DeBord use Twitter? If not, he is a huge liability and most certainly does NOT fit in with the current staff. Screw offensive "Schematics" (Hello Derek Dooley), it's all about Twitter. :)

Butch has two more days of hard recruiting, then February 1st through 5th is the dead period. I think the new OC will be announced on February 1st.

This makes zero sense IMO. So lets hire Mike DeBord right in the middle of the dead period so CBJ cannot contact the recruits to reassure them that hiring an Olympic Administrator that is way past a very average "prime" is a good idea? Uh... I don't think so.

Could be that the new OC doesn't want to do damage to the school he is leaving by announcing. Maybe his HC asked him or Buch to wait to save a recruiting class. JMO

So after 64 threads (not exaggerating, just counted them) and literally THOUSANDS of posts on the OC question, I think I can summarize it all in less than 20 lines of text. Yep, sixty-four threads, thousands of posts, probably hundreds of thousands of words, down to twenty lines. Here goes:

"Bajakian's leaving"

"Holy carp, we gotta get someone, STAT! Otherwise, we will totally fail FUREVER!"

"I knew Jones wasn't worth a poop, see this proves it, he has ruined my life"

"I know, let's get ___________" (insert any of 45 different names here, most of them well known and trendy in college or pro football today)

"Looking more and more like DeBord, check my stats" (sorry, historical accuracy prevents me from leaving this out)

"Not DeBord, he's old and ugly and can't coach!"

"1997 National championship"

"Yeah, but not DeBord, he's old and ugly and hasn't coached in forever"

"Dude, it's been two years"

"Yeah, but not DeBord, he's old and ugly and doesn't know modern offenses!"

"[video of 2008 Cap One Bowl win over Florida]"

"Yeah, but not DeBord, he's old and ugly and can't recruit!"

"Got great marks recruiting for Michigan as recently as six years ago"

"Yeah, but not DeBord, he's old and ugly and...well, he's old and ugly!"

"Saban, Miles, Spurrier, Belichick, Carroll all older"

"Not DeBord, PLEASE, he's ugly and not at all trendy and HE DOESN'T KNOW TWITTER!"

...

There you go, did it in 16 lines. :)

Please Sanford. Canada just got an extension and we need someone other than DeBord.

My choices is Sanford all the way. Reel him in coach

I've just accepted it's going to be DeBord, and a GA is going to coach our QBs. I don't agree with that decision, but everything is pointing that that is what Butch is going to do. Hope it works out, because if it doesn't, his ass is going to be red hot. A step back next year is unacceptable.

That is a very good point, and last time I checked NC state's offense performed better than ours last year. He has way more weapons if he came to UT as well. Who knows though, because we know until that first game how good our new OC will be whoever he is lol.

So that criteria leaves us with 82 candidates you think would be good hires, huh?

Just wait until the hire is made before saying Butch lied about the search going well.

If the recruits have not flipped by now, with no OC named. They must believe in Butch and are coming for the right reasons. They trust Coach to make the right hire for them. JMO

Agree. He just go Sapp 4* and saw what Williams did at Auburn with the Orange. NO FLIP!

GoVols!
