One more tidbit from that Chip Towers piece about Georgia’s new staff:
Chaney’s addition along with the hiring of Derrick Ansley as defensive coordinator and Tee Martin as wide receivers coach and some other staff moves mean that Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt is now paying his staff $800,000 more than Georgia is ($6.045 million). That’s primarily due to coordinator pay. Chaney ($1.6 million), Ansley ($1 million) and Chris Rumph ($805,000) all have multiyear contracts and make $3.4 million annually between them.
Georgia’s three coordinators are due $2.25 million in the next year.
There’s one thing you can say about Tennessee. Bang for the buck has never been a concern in Knoxville.
They literally have not learned anything.

Pruitt stole our OC right from under Kirby’s nose. Tee Martin is back and will coach their WR’s up to flood the field with Biletnikoff award winners. The Urnge are obviously the real winners here, just ask them.

I don’t think they will ever renovate that shithole of a stadium.

Have these guys finished paying off the buyouts from Booch’s staff yet;-) I am surprised to see Derrick Ansley as the DC because I was under the impression he would’ve gotten more interest from UGA if he was in the market. Maybe Kirby knows something we don’t or likes Lanning better. Anyone have any intel or head anything about this?

Rank speculation on my part, but I’m guessing Kirby didn’t want to meet Ansley’s price (both dollars and position) to come to UGA.

I don’t care how much they drop on their staff, you can’t turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse! F*ck TN!

Maybe Rocky Flop should pay them so many dollars per points scored. That way they earn what they are worth.
