Nobody is truly in or out until the papers are signed. Y'all know how these things geaux. We have learned the hard way!

I dunno if he's in or out. But he was the first guy I thought of when I heard Juluke was fired.

We're down 3 coaches right? So is Robinson, Powell, and David Johnson a possibility?
Posted on 2/4/17 at 8:51 pm to AlwysATgr
Any chance of getting Powell as just the ST coach and hire another RB coach?

That's what I figured, him and O have a very deep rooted friendship. He along with David Johnson and/or Curtis Johnson are the definition of home run hires.
Here's Robinson bio for those who don't know who he is.

My guess or preference would be.
Andre Powell - ST.
Tommie Robinson - RB, RC
David Johnson - Wr.
I think that you want at least 2 out of the 3 to have a proven P5 track record and only 1 new up and coming type like David Johnson or Tony Hull.

I just don't know how many slots we have left at this point.
When Cameron was let go, he was the OC/QB. Canada has that spot now. That's a wash.
If Ensminger stays a coach, and does not move to admin for 2017 - then he will be the TE or QB/TE coach (or some combination) and does not have background as a special teams coach. If Ensminger transitions to admin, either the receivers, RB and/or ST Coordinator will have TE responsibilities, too.
In that latter case, there are effectively only 2 offensive coaches right now - Canada and Grimes. There is also no ST coordinator, unless April is going to get that job. I'm pretty sure he stays a consultant - now they think a lot of Dennis Johnson (Meatball) and maybe he gets that tag for the coaching spot and bump in pay, with April as his mentor/subject matter expert.
Johnson has coached ST, WRs, TEs AND RBs. Powell is the current special teams coordinator and RB coach for Pitt.
Might be as simple as that - Johnson WRs and TEs - Powell RBs and STC.
And Austin Thomas as permanent RC?
I love this plan - I'm excited to be part of it. Let's do it.

We only have two spots open. We have 7 assistants right now. NCAA limit is 9. They're supposed to be looking at allowing a 10th coach but I don't know any specifics on where they stands.

Don't think we would do this unless the new coaching spot gets cleared because we need a LB coach....right?

The additional assistant rule most likely won't occur until around April. I also think they file for another exemption for Austin Thomas to recruit in Pete Jenkins place.
Posted on 2/4/17 at 9:22 pm to whitefoot
So is Canada going to be the WR coach now, too, then?

Powell will finally breathe excitement into our Special Teams - as he is aggressive on 4th down situations - blocking punts. We've soarly missed using our athletic freaks in this area over the last several years; settling for more return opps. If we can shorten the field for our offense with blocked punts - it will pay major dividends

Where's tigerbaitlawyer?
Posted on 2/4/17 at 9:27 pm to whitefoot
I'm confused. We fired Peveto, Craig, and JJ. How come we only have two spots open?
Is Thomas now being counted?

Grad assistant was hired (DE I think). Aranda coaches LB.
Posted on 2/4/17 at 9:36 pm to AlwysATgr
Peveto was coaching OLB and STs. Meatball replaced him as OLB coach.
Also have to remember Ensminger is back at TEs coach now.
