Ah Twitter is saying it’s 95% done, I remember when it was 95% done two months ago. Must have lost internet connection

From Jimmy Hyams -- definitely worth the read.

This whole Chaney thing might actually have some legs to it
quote:
Here’s what I think has transpired.
I think Pruitt was ready to hire an offensive coordinator in mid-December after interviewing Kendal Briles, Mike Yurcich and Hugh Freeze.
I think Pruitt prodded Briles for offensive ideas but didn’t offer. Briles has since been hired as Florida State’s offensive coordinator.
I think Pruitt wanted to hire Yurcich because Yurcich did more with less for six years as Oklahoma State’s offensive coordinator. But Yurcich held out for the Ohio State OC job – which he got.
I think Pruitt wanted to hire Freeze but didn’t get the endorsement of athletic director Phillip Fulmer.
I think Pruitt talked to Georgia offensive coordinator Jim Chaney, a former OC at Tennessee, in December, but didn’t make an offer.
I think Pruitt then decided to focus on recruiting and re-start the process after Jan. 1.
I think Pruitt interviewed former Maryland interim head coach Matt Canada (former OC at LSU and play-caller for Nathan Peterman at Pitt) but didn’t offer and won’t.
I think Pruitt has contacted former USC offensive coordinator Tee Martin, who famously led Tennessee to the 1998 national championship.
I think Pruitt or someone representing Tennessee has talked to Steve Sarkisian, recently fired as offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons. Sarkisian and Pruitt worked together at Alabama in 2016.
I think Freddie Kitchens, Jim Bob Cooter and Jeremy Bates – all current or recent NFL coaches – are NOT in the picture.
I think Chaney is hirable. I didn’t think that in December. I think it now. But Pruitt might have to move relatively fast or Chaney might lose interest.
Chaney enjoyed his time at Tennessee (2009-12) and would probably like to retire in East Tennessee.
One long-time college coach with SEC experience told me Fulmer likes Chaney and Pruitt respects Chaney. How could you not, after what he did at Purdue with Drew Brees and at Tennessee with Tyler Bray and at Arkansas with Brandon Allen and Pitt with Nathan Peterman and Georgia with Jake Fromm.
“Chaney is the best play-caller in the SEC,’’ one source told me.
Of all the potential hirable candidates, I think Chaney has the best resume’.
Chaney would command a salary of at least $1 million a year and he has about a $500,000 buyout at Georgia. But he’d be worth it.
I think one other thing – Pruitt will hire someone within a week.

Chris Low and Austin Price on the Nation last night both said there’s more than a decent chance Sark and Tee come as a package deal. They also said they know Tee wants to come home to VOLS finally

I would take Chaney+Tee or Sark+Tee, either combo would be a home run.

Any scenario that doesn’t bring Tamaurice home as a position coach is going to roll me up so bad. He’s just sitting out there unemployed with his best options right now being the likes of Louisville and Maryland.
Regardless of what happens with the OC, there’s no fricking reason to keep that hermaphrodite Weinke employed when a certified goon wrangling VFL who won a fricking natty under our current athletic director wants to be here.

He said something mean about Jalen Hurd and didn’t want to work for Butch Jones 
Posted on 1/7/19 at 12:32 pm to David Ricky
Gah...sometimes I wish oleyeller was a gator fan...
Posted on 1/7/19 at 12:46 pm to David Ricky

Oh he's one of those fans. How the hell did he make it out of VN's football forum?

Al Wilson deserved the statue not Tee, that said I would like to see him back in Knoxville. As stated we should have an OC by now, this is just absurd.

Not really considering JP’s last boss was Saban. He has had coaching searches go into February before. I’ll give you that their season usually didn’t end until January when that was the case. I’d rather JP take his time and get the guy or guys he wants rather than filling the spot with someone that doesn’t fit. No one wants the clawfense experiment to be repeated.
