Glad to see it. Looks like he's got a pretty good resume. Even has some experience at OC. Excited about the future. Now, let's hope for a solid recruiting class this year and let's have some patience with these guys as they build a championship program at UT.

Sounds as though he has some good credentials a a promising coach and recruiter for the VOLS. Working with meyer in FL should be a good Florida recruiting azzet.

I could not find any information on him being a great recruiter. I see he was credited with signing one 4 star while he was at FL. But now he is here so go show everyone why CBJ is the man.

In the past 10 years, Azzanni has been called a “relentless” recruiter by Urban Meyer. He has most notably been a staple in the recruiting areas of the state of Florida, in particular the Miami/Fort Lauderdale areas.[3] from wiki

Badger here - you'll love him and he'll do great things for UT.
I'm mad you stole him, but if he had to go to another program, I'm glad it's UT (my younger brother is an accounting major there).

Good hire CBJ! Hopefully CZA will get us some great recruits in here and keep UT as WR U! Also open doors up north.

Solid hire. Thanks for the update Wes. Question. Since the dead period for recruiting begins this weekend, can the coaches still contact recruits via phone or emails? Is dead period limited to visitation only? What work will the coaches be doing during this time? One more thing...The staff is complete now Wes. Go get some sleep.
BUTCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. GO VOLS!

That was most likely because he was offered the OC position at WKU
