Kill me if I'm wrong, but I was just hearing on 97.7 ESPN radio here in the frozen North La that Willis was coming in as the LBer coach as they mentioned Peveto going out. Is this confirmed or germans or both?

Guy on the radio claimed he had a source...the whole "O, Walker, Willis, Raymond" deal (probably his source read a message board rumor). Apparently the source also told him Peveto was going to get the NSU job (also a long time rumor on message boards)...so when he did get the job, he probably just jumped on the Willis deal. There has not been any unofficial or official information about this, only speculation.

thanks... I've gathered as much since getting home and sifting through tons of threads. It did get me pretty excited I'll admit

If true, it will be a great pickup. Willis is a great recruiter. If this happens, it pretty much confirms that Tubby is sitting out at least a year. It looks like his guys are seeking jobs all over.

Willis may have been the best assistant on Auburn's staff...

willis = amazing for LSU for a number of reasons

i'd say willis (LB) + O (DL) would lead to walker (DBs) being the best to complete the trifecta

but chavis isn't a slouch. under his watch a lot of good DBs have developed at UTenn

Todd Walker credits playing soccer as a kid for his footwork in baseball, FWIW.
