Chansky just thought he was PO'd before...
- Thread starter heelbent
- Start date
Gene's not only looking at film...he's been on the phone. Chanski is about about to learn that commitment to FB looks a lot like a check book.Originally posted by NENCHeel:
Per Lee Pace, Chiz spent part of the afternoon in the KFC looking at Heels games tapes...and it wasn't hoops.
And that BB no longer drives the train...
Heel bent I hope he's not on the phone talking to recruits, hopefully coaches. I think we are in a dead period. If one phone with recruits he's already trying to help get us on the death penalty that a lot of mooUers would love.
Even if money was the same....there's MUCH more bang for your buck in Knoxville, TN than in Orange County, NC.
Just sayin'....
Not that I doubt Chizik is the new DC, but does anyone find it odd that it's not been announced? Due to the fact that he's not "officially" a coach anywhere, does that mean he can talk to recruits during the dead period?
That, plus Orange County taxes the everlasting sh*t out of you. Cost of living (off-campus) is stupidly expensive for students compared to other large Southern universities like Auburn, UGA, Alabama, etc. I know Adam, the last publisher of this site, moved his family out of Orange County because surrounding counties to the West (Alamance, for example) are so much cheaper.
I love the state of North Carolina, and I love UNC, but I promise you I will never live in Orange County again.
Anyway......sorry for that off-topic rant. I'm glad Thig is doing well at UT, even if they are a recruiting rival. I have to imagine the allure of seeing through what he started is very strong.
Tennessee will be a sleeper team in the near future. Dooley is a good guy and all, but left a train wreck.
Butch Jones is one of those "I get MY kind of players and coach em up" guys and has done just that. Tennessee rolled the dice on him given his body of work at both CMU AND Cincinnati (which had two successful predecessors).
You can argue he inherited his success at UC from Brian Kelly, but in his first year he didn't have 'his players' like he did in 2011/2012.
I randomly watched the UT vs UGA game this year. Even though they lost -and I am not a fan of moral victories (insert NC State fan joke here)- but I saw a UT team that pushed UGA around in the trenches but didn't have the playmakers... YET.
2015 will be an interesting year, but don't be too surprised if Tennessee takes the SEC east and knocks the Bama-sippi teams down a peg or two.
I just took a gander at their schedule.... OU, Arky, SCjr, UGA all at home.... at Bama will be the big one... but they could be a shocker.... heard it here first

It's not that easy. Blake was a DL coach and Thigpen an LB coach. Once you as HC have a situation in which 2 assistants on the same side of the ball are at loggerheads, you must see the whole picture, which includes, and likely is not restricted to: the positions each coaches, the emphasis on the team per position, the ability of each as a recruiter, and the length of time each has known and worked with the HC.
Butch had known Blake since Blake was in 8th grade. Butch stressed the DL and would have preferred to replace the LB coach rather than the DL coach. Nationally, Blake was a better known and more successful recruiter.
So - if Thigpen could not get along with Blake enough to stay, then Butch was not going to boot Blake.
None of that has anything to do with the fact that because Blake was a beloved, BELOVED[/I], former player and assistant coach to Barry Switzer, a master of sleaze, I never would have hired Blake.
