Ed O: Not opposed to being a DL coach

http://highschoolsports.nola.com/ne...ys-being-with-family-after-years-on-the-road/

“I think we’re in a good position because we’re about to see what jobs come open,” Orgeron said. “If there is interest in me becoming a head coach, that’s obviously an advantage. I’m not opposed to going back to college and being a defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator, and I’m not opposed to going to the NFL. I’m young (53) and I think things will work out for a reason."

I know its crazy talk, but could we possibly replace Jancek with Ogre?

 

I wouldn't want Ed O as a defensive coordinator. The less responsibility he has the better.

I would hire him immediately as a defensive line coach and a recruiting coordinator

 

I agree with Justin, but it doesnt matter because I cant imagine anybody hiring him back at UTK based on how he and kiffin left... Fans would turn on Jones, IMO... On t'other hand, yawyaw yaw yaw yawwwwww yaawwwww.... ...thats always fun.

 

He will never coach at Tennessee again. Not with the current administration.

 

Amazing how he got humble after a couple of months of no interest.

 

No Orgeron thread is complete without:

One of the best position coaches in the business. I still wouldn't really want to see him employed by UT again.

 

I would take him back in a heartbeat - as DL coach / recruiting coordinator. But such would require not only a wholesale change in the University's leadership structure, but also in the entire Compliance Dept. (I safely imagine).

But, if bringing O back resulted in a wholesale change in the University's leadership.....that's the single strongest point on his resume, IMO.

 

I would take O back as a position coach. Wouldn't even hesitate.

 

Tell 'em, Jojo!

 

You hesitate with O, you die.

 

Take Orgeron, the Orge back??????????!!!!!!!!!!???????????? NEVER! Clandestine call to players he had recruited on the UT's dime to leave the program and follow him to USC is snake belly low. With someone exhibiting such a lack integrity, bring them back into the UT? Why in 'hale' would you even halfway think of of doing that? Once a cheater and a liar, such tends to stay that way. And lies in wait for the opportunity to present it self to repeat what they really are deep down inside. I say try to steal Dan Quinn or Travis Jones. A pipe dream for sure but try it anyway. Character wise, the Orge isn't worth dried spit on the sunward side of Mercury.

 

Some guys around here say those calls are a myth.

 

Given butch's recruiting the past two years I'm not sure stones should be thrown

 

I know. However, I recall that at the time Tyler Bray and two other recruits expressed disdain for receiving such calls. I kind of figure players who got such calls will know what's mythical and what's fact. But it is the coaches own words that offer the most telling testimony: http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jan/14/sports/la-sp-usc-recruiting14-2010jan14

Winner!

 

Agree that was low but you think if Thig left you think he wouldn't do the same thing. It's the nature of the business. These guys are great recruiters by being nice guys all the time

 

I had to check the URL to make sure I was on the correct site.

 

Perhaps, but I'll take the innocent until proven guilty path. If Thig does this then I'd have to say put him in a recently empty sauerkraut jar, screw the lid on tight and drop it off the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

 

Ignorance is bliss.
