| Jay Graham retained by Butch Jones (Posted on 12/7/12 at 9:08 pm)
Officially. Looks like the o-line coach Sam Pittman is the only other coach with a chance of staying.
The entire defensive staff was let go this afternoon.

They had better keep Pittman. The guy can coach O-lineman.

Rucker says Pittman is gone, and Hinshaw is under consideration.

If Butch Jones is smart, he would retain the OC and offensive line coach.
Sure would make the transition easier. The O line coach is the real deal!

i don't agree with that... just b/c a guy was good under one HC doesn't mean he'll mesh with the new HC,his position coaches, and support staff.
And as for the OL coach... who knows what the new OC will want to do as far as blocking schemes... sometimes it's best to just start over from scratch.

I agree could be good starting over, but maybe don't fix what isn't broken.
Tenn ranked 23rd in NCAA scoring 36.17/game. May help keep Bray and Hunter around another year?
IMO.
