re: VOLS: Are you offering Azzanni the OC position?

Wasn't it speculated that the outgoing Vols OC was resigning to position himself for the Central Michigan job?

Yes. CMU has made it plain they want someone, apparently anyone, since our WR and DC coaches have also been named along with the aforementioned OC, from the Butch Jones coaching tree. I suppose their AD thinks that because they've been there before they'd go back.

They are apparently still upset they missed out on Bajakian the first and now the second time. I could see Azzani taking an HC job one day - in fact I think he'll be a HC one day but even now he could do better than CMU. He was offered several jobs last year as well.

With all the speculation about Debord being hired as OC (an old mentor of Jones), I think *if* that happens Azzani will be named Co-OC. Debord is old enough and experienced enough to mentor Azzani until he's ready. Plus, Azzani would get a pay raise and more job responsibilities.
