Where will Vols turn for WR coach?

  • wataugavol said...

    Kippy would.be good.

    I remember Scott was a beast on the recruiting trai during Fulmer's last year. I thought he went to UVA?

    Scott got a DUI when he left UT and served a short stent in jail, so that will be an issue I'm sure.

  • Although I may not agree with all opinions, I try to respect them all, but it's hard to do when some people can't respect one's personal decisions. Some of you need to either think before you type things or go to the knoxnews site and post irrational thoughts! One of the reasons I have enjoyed govols247 so much is because of the mature, intellectual dialogue, but this thread..... not so much!!

    Good luck to ya Tee and hope we do get Chip West from UVA!! GBO/VFL!

  • Hoping to retain Hinshaw.. Weist wouldn't be a terrible hire, think WRs more likely to stay and play for Hinshaw. Also, first post, looking forward to talking some football with you guys.. Go Vols!

    If Kippy were possible that would be great. He's an excellent coach and it would be good to let him end his career here and get the sour taste of the last time around out of his mouth.

    I'm biased as all heck because I know him personally, and have since he was at Sweetwater H.S., but Kippy would indeed be great. Father figure, great human being, smart, liked by almost everyone who knows him. If he's still as energetic as he's always been, he'd be a huge coup.

    But I don't see him coming unless he is offered OC. He's been an OC in the NFL, so I don't see him coming to be a position coach.

  • Looking at Dameyune Craig's profile on rivals I hope we can get this guy! Great recruiter and coach! Would be a splash!

    You fight like young man, holding nothing back. Admirable.. Yet mistakable.

    FootballScoop is the org. Nominations come from coaches, ADs and other Sports personalities. Award given at AFCA Convention in Jan. Last years award went to Ted Gilmore USC who took the same Position for the Oakland Raiders. Good writeup on Duke website.

    BTW, I still live near Fort Bragg...I see ur in Carolina as well.

  • Not to get off of the subject but heard today that Kliff Kingsbury, T a&m OC - is headed to Texas Tech to be the new HC. Just some SEC news.

    Thanks for the info TC. I live in the Shelby area between Charlotte and Asheville. I'm assuming you were military. If so, thank you for your service.

    Former Vol and current Tulane WR coach Thomas "TD" Woods has expressed interest in the job as well.

    He would be an interesting hire, talk about a guy who was exciting to watch - any info on how he is regarded as a coach?

    Yes, retired military and thanks. Missed half of daughters life in combat zones...time to let someone else do it. Looking fwd to seeing some football next fall!

  • I may be wrong ... It might be entirely on Dooley... But Hinshaws job as recruiting coordinator is suspect at best. Anyone else read the article in which 32/35 HS coaches failed Dooleys staff at recruiting? I'd just be happier with a fresh start but it would be great for one more young family to not have to relocate if he stays

    Attention fellow posters!!! I gave The Colonel a +1 on his post and it got him to 0, meaning somebody gave our friend a downvote. Y'all help our new neighbor, who served this great Nation, out with some upvotes and let him know we appreciate him! Thanks. Orange. GO VOLS!

  • Thanks for your service. I'm stationed out in CA, but grew up in K-town. The Vols bring me home no matter where I am in the world. Good to see we are are getting back to a good place. I have been in for 10 years and always had internet, even though it is really slow on the ship. How did you keep up with the Vols before internet was available? Just curious.
