When we make a move I would like to see some of our current staff retained as I think It would help tremendously with both recruiting and player retention. For one I think Gillespie absolutely should be retained as RB coach; he's a tremendous coach and is one of the few bright spots on this offensive staff. Other guys I'd be interested in are Warren as the DBs coach and Hoke as either the DL coach or maybe a Defensive "quality control" type role.

Gillespie and Hoke would be my top 2 without a doubt, beyond that I'd have little interest in anyone else. If we did this and the new HC brought in the rest I think we could maintain a top 5 recruiting class and come out swinging right away. Thoughts?

I'll tell you who I don't want back...Kevin Beard. Wide receivers running the wrong routes cost us the Florida game, and has made Dormady's job much harder.

This year, UT receivers consistently don't block downfield, run bad routes and drop easy catches.

Gillespie, Wells, Scott (though not sure as a coordinator), Hoke, Warren are all good coaches imo.

Shoop is a very good football coach as well but not sure it's going to work out here.
