Lebby was hired to do a job, not to hire former players and keep them no matter what.Quote:

So Lebby should not be as demanding????
He was on the staff during the redacted year of 2023.Quote:

Kevin Thompson added to the coaching staff. Did yall already cover this?

I would be surprised. I doubt we see any movement of anything substantial until the bowl game or after. Doesn't mean that we're waiting til then to interview or hire, just that we won't publicly announce anything.Quote:

I suspect that Matt Barnes will be moving on and that we will have a new safeties coach.
I’d be willing to bet Arnett takes the safeties to free up a spot.Quote:

This is going to be basically what Joe Judge did for Kiffin his first year. He'll work with the QBs but won't actually be the QB coach. My guess is that he's an analyst without being called an analyst.
Never heard of this fella until I googled him. Meh
Has a hell of a nice resume. I'd assume off the field.Quote:

Which is probably why we have him such a broad title. He will help with the QBs but be able to have his hand in the offense as a whole.Quote:

He's expected to work with the Qbs.Quote:

It's an interesting hire. I know Kentucky struggled this year on offense but not a big concern with Lebby calling plays. He has some NFL experience so that's a plus since he is coaching QB's.
We said build around KaMario and I think the Bush announcement does just that
Is Arnett going to be in the situation I wonder? We need a DL coach. We have Vincent coaching EDGE. We now have Brock with a co-DC essentially and LB's. We have Bell coaching corners. We have Barnes coaching safeties for now anyway. And we just hired Kevin for DB's. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's 7 spots for defensive coaches. And we need a WR coach and someone to coach special teams.Quote:
