Its about to change lol

The guy has been the OC for the best player in the nation for 2 years surrounded by loss of talent. Things are a little different in Knoxville at the moment.

Please hire someone who has been an HC before.

 

[RobDooley]

I agree. While he is high on the AD's list for head coach, I believe HC experience must be a prerequisite.

 

[flyinpro]

If Tennessee goes in that direction, they will be looking for a new coach again in 3 years. Program needs a tested HC.

 

[gator-n-buck]

Wow...

 

[PossumSlayer]

Wow...

And get paid like 5-7

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Wow...

I think ours should say " I will give my all for MickeyDees today!"

 

[PillsburyDoughboy]

So vols are thinking about hiring a assistant coach from the number 3 School in the nation after firing the coach that came from the # 1 school in the country .

How hilarious .

 

[buckaroo]

All the coaching search rumors are just rumors, and for anyone to be believe is just hilarious. Its the man not the team that you go after lol

 

[buckaroo]

You had Butch, and Dooley too, real winners lol

 

[buckaroo]

Who can you go for? A diamond in the rough? After all, most all coaches were a coordinator at some time. No reason to try hire away a successful big time coach, unless they are just miserable because they will pay more to keep him. Im guessing you find a successful coach at mid major, fairly young energetic guy. Thats why White is making big money to make big decisions

 

[buckaroo]

Heres another "rumor" PJ Fleck, seems to be gaining speed

Ok, I'm pretty sleepy from hunting all weekend and not sleeping well.....so what does that mean?

He's a sports reporter and is saying that one time during a coaching search involving Danny White, he was very inaccurate with his reporting because of misinformation that Danny White was putting out.

 

[buckaroo]

Sounds like Danny outsmarted him is all

Elliott would be a good choice. He's been sought after for some time. More importantly, it could help break the Clemson stranglehold on the best of the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee.

 

[wayne]

Rumors are that an offer has been made. $40m for 5 yrs, that includes the buyout.
But nobody knows to who.

Not enough. With the $hi! Storm about to come, it has to be a Matt Rhule deal. Seven years plus add a year for every year of probation. Elliott would be a fool to accept anything less.

James Franklin?

 

[PillsburyDoughboy]

James Franklin?

I saw him on a list of about 14 potential candidate. He did a admirable job at Vanderbilt and I thought at the time Vandy should have just written him a check in any amount to keep him.

Then again I don't think Vandy ever beat the vols when he was coaching there. So one has to wonder why yall would want that?

Do better research

Maybe no coach with Vandy could beat us at that time? We did have about a 30 yr streak

James Franklin?

As a guy who watches a lot of Big Ten football, you don't want him. He's recruited very well until falling way off last cycle, but prior cycles were also pointing in that direction. Got zero of the top 10 PA recruits in 2021 cycle. PA #1, #4, and #5 went to OSU, #2 went to LSU (and it was a battle with OSU, not PSU). #1 PA recruit (#1 WR National) in 2020 class went to OSU not PSU. Can't recruit QBs either. There's something up with the culture in that program. He's also a really bad game manager. You can do better than James Franklin. But it's going to take a Matt Rhule contract.

I think Elliott would be a great hire.

 

[wayne]

Moving on from Franklin. He's been promised locker room upgrades. Locker rooms are special places at psu.

 

[wayne]

Well... Josh Heupel isn't going to excite the fan base.

 

[gator-n-buck]

What legitimate coach would want the job at this point. Even when TN was fairly in good shape, they could only hire Dooley, Kiffin, Jones, and Pruitt. This will be an interesting hire.

 

[buckaroo]

Heck I would love it, going to get a great contract, gaurantee 5-7 yrs, if you can recruit and win your a hero and a legend making 35 million or more, fantastic facilities, if you bomb retire on an island somewhere

 

[buckaroo]

To be such a bad place, we just hired a top 4 AD

They could have hired Kiffin or Chadwell this time. At least Chadwell has built programs. Heupel has only ridden in what Frost had at UCF. Like butch did Kelly. And why hire a search firm if White is going to promote his little buddy?
