A defensive coordinator doesn't even want to interview for that dumpster fire job. Wow

What's so bad about it? Administration? Boosters? Finances? It seems to have a good alumni and fan base, with historical and somewhat recent success. Can someone alleviate my ignorance?

I don't understand this.
Great fanbase, history, facilities, support, etc. Why doesn't anybody want it?

Probably because they have to play against Saban every year

They need to do something quick. Kids (i.e. recruits) barely know who current coaches are before they talk to them, let alone remember, oh yeah, Tennessee was really good when I was 7 years old. They don't have the in state base to maintain.
Yeah, I know UT is a historical to 5-10 program and waaaay better than my school historically, but this is approaching dangerous territory.

Maybe it's the "Fulmer Curse"..didn't he squeal like a pig on Bama to save his program from the NCAA?
Another thing I've heard my SEC pals throw around. Don't know a damn thing about it...true or not?

Geez...I only half listen to some of the tales you guys throw around when I'm down there...never been associated with so many gossiping, loose-lipped men in my life, as you southern fellows.
Don't get me wrong..y'all are great people that care about each other, but you're just as happy to stab each other in the back, and spill all the back door dirty laundry on each other, in such cavalier fashion!
So...is it really true? I'm wary of articles not substantiated with clear facts. My SIL says yes, but again..he's a Vanderbilt man.

I can't study for finals while sitting here in such disappointment. I don't understand how the program has come to this... I'll always remain a Vol though. I refuse to jump on a bandwagon ...

Most of it I believe to be true. There was a scam going on with Fulmer with a car dealership. Players getting free rides and cash etc. NCAA might have caught on to them, and he traded Alabama's troubles to make his go away. He's a great man, and he has done so much for this university, but I can see why so many fans hated him (ignoring the fact that he won a lot).

I'm in your boat, brother. Been trying to study for mine all day, and then the Charlie Strong 4:30 team meeting happened...
