Potential Head Coach Hires

[BigDaddyBuzz]

Brent Key for OC? They worked at UCF together. That would be a heckuva recruiting tandem.

No

So if we bring Geoff Collins on, who's the OC? Can he call plays too or do we need to add another staff? Wonder how that affects HC budget since CPJ did both .

If we're worrying about having to pay an OC then we just need to shutter the program. I mean, get in or get out, GT.

I would like to note to all the reports of Collins being the lead candidate, if you go by the reports we have only interviewed 2 people, one which has pulled is name out.

Your are spelling Geoff wrong!

The downside here is we probably lose Nate. I support Collins, but two different defensive philosophies probably won’t be able to exist. Collin’s defense is what he has built his reputation on so I bet that (and rightfully so) is what we run.

Offensively, I am not sure what we will run. If you take the stance of “what do we hate defending”, I would say a spread RPO scheme. Kinda like what Oklahoma State runs.

I don't see that the two defensive philosophies are different. What I saw in the old video interview of Collins a couple of days ago seemed to me to be totally in line with Woody's approach --- ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK

Money shouldn’t be an issue. CPJ retired so there is no buyout or anything like that. I’m expecting an influx of cash donations( former players and donors who didn’t care for CPJ style)c ACCN, Adidas and etc. i would be surprised if that number is around 500k

Surely you don’t mean a salary of 500k for the OC? That would rank our OC as roughly the 130th paid assistant coach. Hell, Michigan pays there special teams coordinator 500k.

Michigan pays the S&C coach 500,000

Nate Woody makes 575,000. I want us to get OC/DC's worth more then 600k, but we haven't had one yet (Ted Roof did not produce enough for his salary).

Collins looks good on the surface, but based on history I’m not sure we’d have him for more than two years. That worries me a bit...

Earlier today an article surfaced that said Todd was going to interview 5-6 candidates, yet now it’s “a deal may happen tonight.”

These guys in the media are so full of crap. They phrase it all so there’s no way they can be wrong, then if it happens they claim to be the first that broke the story.

If he leaves in 2yrs that mean GT is a great place and he was promoted again to Either Bama or UF (i doubt it tho)

FWIW

It sounds like Kendal Briles is out as possible OC at GT. Kendal Briles is interviewing tomorrow for the Tennessee OC job in Knoxville and will probably take it according to the word that's going around.

Exactly. I swear some of our fans would ***** if they won the lottery

It would be interesting to expand that out to Top 25 and see how much the money numbers drop. I think if we recruit 25-30, it would help our competitiveness significantly.

Posted on another thread so as not to go too far off topic.

Tennessee needs to step away from their outdated pro offense They could do amazingly worse then Briles.
