@Brent_Hubbs @Jesse_Simonton @Austin_Price @Rob Lewis Thanks in advance men.
1. Had Tennessee made a bowl game this year, how do you feel game-planning and play-calling duties would have shaken out with the current staff with Helton at WKU?

2. Among the following candidates, give your thoughts on the level of viability of each as it pertains to the OC job in Knoxville.
  • Neil Callaway - Former Bama and Georgia OC - Was the HC at UAB during Friend's time there - Was recently relieved of his duties by USC - Not currently employed to my knowledge
  • Darrell Dickey - Current aTm OC - Served as OC at Memphis during 2017 alongside David Johnson as WRs Coach - Likely a long shot and unlikely to leave Texas IMO
  • James Coley - Current Georgia Co-OC - Known as an A+ recruiter - Has worked under Saban, Jimbo, Kirby - guys Pruitt respects - Chaney is clearly the current playcaller at Georgia
  • Mike Groh - Current Philadelphia Eagles OC - Spent 2011-2012 at Alabama with Pruitt - Former National Recruiter of the Year - Pederson is clearly the current playcaller in Philly
  • Major Applewhite - Recently let go as Houston HC - Believe he and Pruitt were both at Alabama in 2007 - Plenty of play-calling experience - Not entirely sure how his time at Alabama ended and why he only spent one season there
  • Doug Nussmeier - Current Dallas Cowboys TE Coach - Former Saban OC at Alabama - Believe he and Pruitt were both at Alabama in 2012
  • Brian Daboll - Current Buffalo Bills OC - Another former Saban OC - I believe McDermott and his staff are being brought back in Buffalo - Not sure if McDermott will be forced to make staff changes of if Daboll could see more stability for himself in Knoxville
