Next Coaching Moves

I really like the direction here. Tee as WR coach, Weinke as QB coach and Ansley as DC... It just seems like Pruitt is putting people in the best possible positions to have success. I still say that Pittman will be back in Knoxville sooner rather than later...

 

Does anyone think this is the final version of the staff?

 

I would say so, Pruitt doesn't speak more than he has too. If he says it so, then it probably is so until after next season.

 

Its a little different but Pruitt being a D coach balances it out more. Especially given the idea that Chaney is running the O and Ansley is running the D.

 

Had he not held a detailed presser about the new hires and internal changes I would have thought there may be one more move possible. Given he did and your idea I think its set.

 

Unless Sherrer gets a promotion elsewhere.

 

I would think Pruitt would have held off "demoting" (as most define it) him if he thought he had a chance to move up to a DC spot.

 

Or he values Ansley more than Sherrer.

 

Not saying it couldn't happen but its just weird he would have agreed to change rolls and Pruitt hold a press conference if he had some legit options out there.

 

I firmly believe he thinks Ansley is an upgrade at DC. The fact he publically has given the reigns to him says as much. The fact Sherrer was willing to move to STs and not leave (if he had the chance) tells me he either really likes it here or didn't have an offer to leave.

 

Guys leaving are being replaced with better coaches.

You hired an OC from the East champion. You hired a DB coach from an NFL team with a great college pedigree. You hired one of the best recruiters in the country to coach receivers, who also won a natty here.

 

Yeah, this is definitely a wonderful, bright and shiny new bizarro-world, as opposed to the 15 year old shitty, dark and desperate bizarro-world we had been living in... I’d gotten so used to expecting (and receiving) the worst possible outcome from anything Tennessee athletics related that it’s hard to get used to things actually looking (and actually BEING) positive...



I like it!!

 

CP talking about the current staff for those interested SIAP

 

16 National Championships
29 Conference Championships
190+ NFL Draft picks
37 First rounders
66 All-Americans

But the last guy had the BSIA and as a non betting man, I'd bet everything and then some that their collective resume is nowhere close to what we have now.

 

Rocker can get his ass outta here if he can’t scrounge up a damn orange tie.

 

Was really hoping we’d be able to trade Weinke in for someone worth a shit, but I’ll take that staff.

 

Said invol, always.

 

All staffs, no weinkes.

 

Weinkes are a NYY specialty.

 

You’d think he’d at least have one in that ugly ass burnt orange from his playing days at Auburn...
