Who is Tennessee's next HC?

  • devidee said...

    I think we all know the obvious choice here...

    SEC can't handle this. All South Carolina players lose their schollies and work at gas stations. Muschamp leaves because Rocky Top is being played all night long. Georgia cries because Kiffin will never lose to Georgia while he is at Tennessee. Don't even get me started on the gumps.

    Gundy with an outside chance at Strong. It's amazing to me just how far UT has fallen. Karma is a bitch

    Agree. I don't get it

    It's like in 2003 we couldnt get anyone to coach us.

    I don't see how a few bad years takes away from decades of excellence

    Classy post, +1.

    Well, you could go to Louisville, where half of the town does not care about football, and you struggle to fill the stands with a BCS bowl bound team. Or you could go to Tennessee where everyone loves you, and believes you are going to be the next coming of Christ.

    This pertains to recruits just as well as coaches. Sounds like a rather easy choice.

    I didn't know that.

    No doubt that he has pieces in place in Louisville. That may convince him to stay.

    You're a good poster man. You don't get riled up like a bunch of us do here when someone posts something negative about your team. +1 to you.

    'Preciate that man. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the team I root for and I'm in no position to tell them they are wrong. It's their opinion after all.

    They still make a better hire than Gus, IMO.

    Agree. Figured either would jump at the chance to get back into big time coaching.

    Tressell still has the "show cause" tag on him. Butch Davis doesn't. Doubt it will be either, but Butch wouldn't shock me I suppose.

  • It's been confirmed that Tressel and Haslam have met multiple times. Initially they spoke about the UT gig but mutually agreed it wasn't a fit. The subsequent meetings were about Tressel potentially taking a role with the Browns (not as HC).

  • gahlee, this is becoming cryptic. Strong reportedly told players nothing at all about his future, but Tennessee's AD has been in Louisville for a good bit. A lot of smoke coming out of Louisville.

    Saw all of that. Then read a ton of other tweets saying he was staying. The consensus appears to be that he is torn. I hate it for the Louisville players. He brought them all in there to get to a BCS bowl, and a better conference, and now he is possibly packing up camp after he achieved the goal. Like a stepping stone.

  • It's better to take your time and find the right coach than hurry through the process to save recruiting for one year. UT is taking their time. Smart move.

    Btw.....if the wait until after the BCS championship game, they could offer Kirby Smart.

    I think the UT administration has a bad taste in their mouth after the whole Saban disciple situation we had this past few years.

    Most would rather go the opposite direction. Great coach though. Seems like a more finely tuned version of Muschamp.

    Didn't ESPN say he was sticking with Louisville? Dumb move imo. You don't turn down Tennessee to stay with Louisville.

    ^^^ This ^^^ But with all these coaches turning down UT there has to be a story behind the scenes. I understand Gruden not taking it...I understand Gundy turning the lights off....but Strong??....For Louisville....really? I could be wrong but there's an untold story lingering here. Dooley was supposedly their 4th option and now they are on their 4th option with this hire. The UT job is a very good job. Storied tradition, big time money, good facilities, the SEC, a passionate but frustrated fan base and nobody wants to touch this job....so you can't tell me there's not a story behind the scenes. Just sayin'
