NOBODY is going to compete with Creasy. He is the best coach and recruiter in TN, period. Until he retires or moves on, nobody will beat him. He may slip on a banana peel (CPA) now and then, but it will not be consistent. Matt Williams and Kriesky are a lot alike. Lunch box toting, hard hat wearing, fundamental coaches. When Matt Williams was hired, who in TN said ‘wow they hired Vince Lombardi!’ nobody.
Tygard is an amazing offensive mind, super exciting coach, he makes Friday nights fun. But if you look at his resume, he changes jobs every two years. Your defense was literally the worst in the state, literally. This is not a knock, these are facts. He came in, pumped some life into the program and left. This is what he has done everywhere.
IMHO your guys needed someone who is going to stay the course and bring you a good solid foundation and stability. The talent is there. It will be there every year. Imho you are in a great spot.
