Both were on Dooley's staff last season. Neither retained by Butch Jones.

Pittman did a really good job last year.

Dooley's offensive staff wasn't bad. I like Pittman.

I am not a big Chaney fan playcalling or philosophy wise but everyone really liked him here as a person. Great guy.

We've already hired a DC but I would take him as a LB coach.

Interesting. That's quite the departure from the type of offense Wisconsin runs.

Very, wasn't expecting it. I had heard of it but I figured we would go to the ground and pound days.

Chaney as I said is a pretty average OC at best imo. Was working with likely 8-9 NFL players on his offense including his entire o-line and receiving corps and still had 3-4 clunkers.

Pittman, even though he was only here a year, looks to be a very good hire.

Don't know how well he develops lines, but really did well with our vets and they loved him.

I am sure Bielema will make him tone the passing down a little but. UT had to throw it is much because they didn't have a run game and had really good WRs.

I think Pittman was the much better recruiter. Could be wrong though.
