Too bad about Pittman, but this is to be expected. Tee needs to come home.

So I guess he will not be retaining Pittman. Is there any chance that could change?

I didn't see where he said Pittman won't be back. TOS is posting Pittman has a chance to be retaine. Patience.

Pittman should stay. The numbers speak for themselves.

I'd love to have kept both Pittman and Chaney. Sigh.

Thanks Wes for all the work and updates.
Guys, we're gonna have to chill and wait and see where he goes with the staff. I'm sure he knows how critical this is. But as you indicate in the story Wes, the close ties to key players create mulitiple levels of consideration for CBJ.
I love having a coach with such a passion for the Vol Nation.

"Obviously" glad that Graham is staying on board. Excited to see what CBJ has in store.

I wonder about Mac being retained as S&C coach. Most comments & reports indicate that he's done a hechuva job w/the guys and I would think the offseason continuity would be extremely important. But these are routine decisions for any new coach and it will be interesting to watch as he assembles his staff.

Offensive Line brought the goods this year. Pittman is gold. He's got a chance. Hopefully, CBJ will really think about that move.

Who would have thought it would just take a BJ to bring Tee back to Knoxville!

Great piece Wes. Good news on Graham and it would be great to keep Pitman, as well as Hinshaw. Bringing Tee back would also be awesome! However I understand that there is so much pressure on these guys to win that they really want to be comfortable with the guys they work with and often "clean house" so to speak. I guess they have that right since they have a lot riding on things. I hope though that he thinks he can work with some of these guys and former Vols!
