| AU fans: Tommy Thigpen Posted by volfan30 on 12/9 at 2:43 pm What can you tell me about our new LB coach? Recruiting specifically. Reply • Back to Top |
| I can tell you for them, he's a great recruiter Reply • Back to Top |
Great recruiter, players loved him. Other than that, you saw our defense  Good luck. Reply • Back to Top |
Played under Mack Brown, mentored under Urban Meyer @ Bowling Green I think. Coached under Ron Zook too I believe. Great recruiter, knows the south well. Very standup guy, a lot of the players look up to him as a father / authoritve figure.  Reply • Back to Top |
| Good recruiter. Our players looked poorly coached on defense, no clue how much was due to him. Reply • Back to Top |
| He was probably our second best recruiter, so it's a good hire from that view. His coaching abilities are questionable though Reply • Back to Top |
| He likes Jake Holland at LB. had a hard time teaching more talented players the calls, etc... Great recruiter. Keep him away from the Vols female student recruiters. Reply • Back to Top |
| Great recruiter. Players dont like playing for him, chooses favorites and cant coach up players. Also he has been under the radar busted for inappropriate texting/calling of female hosts of the football team. Total cheesedick Reply • Back to Top |
| good recruiter, below average coach Reply • Back to Top |

| Never heard word one about his coaching. Nothing. No players talked about him. No coaches talked about him. Like he wasn't there, and like had no influence on anybody at any time. Total cipher. But, yeah, he can recruit. Reply • Back to Top |
| I'll tell you what I know. He has a good rep. Player development, not so much. Reply • Back to Top |
| You'll have all the talent in the world but they will look like shite. Have fun. Reply • Back to Top |
| thug POS, but a good recruiter Reply • Back to Top |

| Solid recruiter, I think he's a better linebacker coach than most give him credit for. I kinda wish we had kept him. Reply • Back to Top |
| Bad coach, good recruiter when it comes to stars next to players' names on Rivals.com Will not miss him. Reply • Back to Top |

| No it wasn't, we were fundamentally bad from 1st to 4th quarter. This post was edited on 12/9 at 9:22 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| Our defense has been trash every year for four solid years. Outside of recruiting, not sure what he brings to the table. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
