From coachingsearch.com:

quote:

Sources close to the situation have informed me that Navy defensive coordinator Buddy Green has accepted the defensive coordinator position at Tennesee. I am told that Green will receive a 3-year deal.

Here's the situation at Tennessee according to sources close to the situation. Green was in Knoxville today, not so much to interview for the job, but to get a feel and make sure everyone would be on the same page including Lance Thompson and Terry Joseph. Green wants to be able to recommend the other defensive assistant to Dooley. Navy can't match Tennessee's offer, but can give Green a significant raise. His family is very happy in Annapolis.

It looks like Shannon and Sunseri turned the job down.

I find it ironic that the Navy DC would jump on to a sinking ship. :rimshot:

Buddy Green is in Knoxville. No offer has been made and he may be interviewing for a position coach. He made 325,000 as DC of Navy last year.

There's smoke for a reason. Doubt he would take a demotion to be a position coach.

There was a heck of a lot more smoke than this for Shannon and there was no reason for it.

We've had to replace a bunch of guys, and Chaney will probably bail if he gets the chance. Probably would have been better to fire Dooley after the Kentucky game.

so you're replacing position coaches before filling the DC position? doubtful.
