Mallett One Step Closer?

Tennesee just hired a new offensive coordinator. Why would you care? Well, it could mean that Ryan Mallet is one step closer to wearing the blue and gold next season. You see, former Michigan OC Mike DeBord and quarterback coach Scot Loeffler were supposedly looking at that job. With the Volunteer's OC spot filled, Loeffler might have to head somewhere else. That somewhere else could be UCLA.

Mallet's mother had this to say about her son's position coach,

"We love Scot Loeffler," Debbie Mallett told the Free Press Wednesday. "He's done wonders for Ryan, especially in the last few weeks. We don't want Ryan to regress. We want him to continue to progress, and he would with Scot. "

Since Loeffler did interview for the UCLA job last week, we know that he is at least interested in Westwood. I don't know if the Bruins are the front runner but with Tennessee out of the picture, it does increase our chances.
