General News about Key and his Staff

[LargeFO]

So from GA younger days, been at alma mater, coming back home. Hmmm...

 

[GTBillyJosh]

I have no inside knowledge, but using the clues Russell gave (GA native, working for alma mater), it sounds like it is Buster's RB coach at Ark State, who is working for his alma mater (Vanderbilt) currently.

 

[kg01]

My "social" is confined to a bi-weekly bridge game with geriatrics, and my mom's maiden name is Brunhilda. Now whisper me your little secret.

Oh, I don't know who it is. I was just trying to steal your identity. Maybe get a couple timeshares or somethin'..

Dammit! I just about fell outta my chair! I searched Twitter real quick to try and find out who, and one of the top results was from Segiura about Choice returning to the Flats... it was from 2018...

Why in hell would you want my identity? I would imagine you have a better one right there at home...

If indeed it is Norval McKenzie it looks like he was very successful when he was working as a special teams coach according to his bio on the Vanderbilt website. Plus he is familiar with recruiting to a high academic college as well. I always doubted that Choice would come back for a similar or even slightly bigger role to get him away from Texas. So this will be interesting perhaps we get a 2 for 1 in McKenzie’s experience coaching both RB and taking over special teams as well?
“Before joining the Louisville staff, McKenzie, a 2018 Broyles Award nominee, spent the previous three seasons as the running backs coach at Arkansas State. The Broyles Award is given to the best assistant coach in college football.”
“As the special teams coordinator, McKenzie’s units were some of the best in program history. The Red Wolves set an NCAA record for punt return defense by holding opponents to minus-15 yards for the season, and closed the year ranked sixth nationally in kick return defense.”

Nope. I go way back to the days of Eric.

Sooooo, what would you prefer, just the news? They make this thingy called a newspaper for that, I hear.

Somewhere in between. It’s like anything else. It is what it is.

McKenzie per SI

Stech won't be happy.. another chrome dome

 

[RamblinRed]

McKenzie feels like a pretty good hire to me.
Experience at a high academic P5. Experience in GA.
I like the idea of him being RB and ST coach.

Worked with Faulkner at Arkansas St - so they should be pretty familiar with each other.

I stole Stech81’s identity and immediately started getting solicitations from AA, beer of the month clubs, and The American Association of Hen Pecked Husbands.

 

[iceeater1969]

We got the RB coach from Vandy.
He played rb at local high school.

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

I can get behind this.

So you would take out three of our four national championships? 1917 with Heisman, 1927 with Alexander and 1952 with Dodd? I would like to make the last four years irrelevant myself.
