for job with Vols KNOXVILLE (AP) — The University of Tennessee has hired Bob Welton as director of player personnel after he spent the past nine years as a scout with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns.
Coach Butch Jones announced the hiring Tuesday, saying that Welton’s experience in the NFL and as a head coach will be key for the Vols.
Welton had been a college scout with Cleveland since 2004 with his first two years as the Browns’ BLESTO scout covering the Midwest.
Welton also coached Coloma (Mich.) High to an undefeated season and the school’s first playoff victory, and he coached at South Haven High in Michigan as well. Egg Bowl returns
to Thanksgiving STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — The Mississippi-Mississippi State rivalry game, known as the Egg Bowl, will be played on Thanksgiving night this season for the first time since 2003.
ESPN was looking for a game to televise on Thanksgiving night and the two Southeastern Conference schools were happy to move from Saturday of that same weekend.
The 110th Egg Bowl will be played Nov. 28 at Davis Wade Stadium. The game has been played on Thanksgiving 20 times, including from 1998-2003.
Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin said in a statement Wednesday that it is a “tremendous opportunity for our state’s largest football game to be played on the largest stage of a crowded football weekend.”
