šŸ“” 2018 NCAA Coaching changes - Former Alabama assistant Derrick Ansley lands at Tennessee

When you have a successful program expect some things to come along with that:

Mel Tucker has left the Defensive Coordinator position for a head coaching job at Colorado.

Jim Chaney has left as Offensive Coordinator to take the same role at Tennessee with higher pay.

Mel is taking Jay Johnson, the "quality control offensive coach" and Tyson Summers, the "defensive quality control coach" with him to Colorado.

It will be interesting to see if Coach Smart can continue to "keep chopping" or whatever his silly catchphrase is, while replacing significant portions of the staff every year.

Awesome I love anything that gives Kirby trouble.

WHY would Cheney leave? Is it a slap in the face for Kirby, or was it mutual? Why wouldn't Kirby be happy with the offense? And surely GA can compete with ucheat for coaching pay.....

Very well could be both. Still, the exodus in Athens continues. Again, for Kirby, he's used to seeing the revolving door in Tuscaloosa. Still waiting to see how he'll handle it. But damn...To leave Jawja for UTurd? Wow...
 
Source tells FootballScoop Hugh Freeze plans to hire Kyle Pope from Alabama’s staff as his new linebackers coach. At Alabama Pope assists with the defensive line. Pope, a linebacker at Jacksonville State, had coaching experience at Jax State, Holmes CC, West Alabama, Presbyterian before joining the staff at Alabama for the past two seasons.

Good kid!! I actually coached Kyle and his twin brother Kelsey at Sylacauga. Good for him if this is true. I believe he was actually a GA.
 
Chip Lindsey is going to be hired as Troy's new coach, either tomorrow or Friday.

You know that's going to piss a few barners off, but good for Lindsey. The guy was thrown under the Gus Bus more than the driver should have been. Now he comes out of it with a HC position.

Actually from the few I've talked to today they don't mind it. They all seem to understand that the offense didnt suck because of him.
 
Georgia.......Kentucky offensive coordinator Eddie Gran has been offered the offensive coordinator job, per Matt Jones of KSR. Jones adds that Gran has been offered over $1.1 million per year and would have complete control of the offense. Update> Sources tell FootballScoop the offer has been extended to Gran. As of this morning, sources tell FootballScoop Eddie was strongly considering remaining at Kentucky; but that decision was not final. Will update when we hear more.
 
South Carolina......Defensive line coach Lance Thompson is not expected to be retained reports Josh Kendall. We have been hearing the same for some time and hear Will has already picked Thompson’s replacement. Stay tuned….

Kentucky..Offensive coordinator Eddie Gran has announced that he is staying with the Wildcats. Did Gran actually turn down the Fighting Kirby's?....sure sounds like it. Lets see how much salary increase he received to stick with Big Blue.
