To the Pit of Misery!

[#1ManningFan]

I started a thread a few weeks ago asking to list your top 3 candidates. Welp I'm seeing ppl throw out names like Chaney, Norvell etc. So it got me thinking...What coach would you be disappointed with if UT hired such and such coach and make you feel like we whiffed (again)? A coach that would make you feel like we were sent to the Pit of Misery! Example: Chaney and Norvell would send me over the ledge into the Pit of Misery!

Hard to say when I expect it to be someone I've never even heard of....

Somehow I have this feeling that if no one with a track record wants to come on board, Tenn will follow LSU path and hire someone in staff, like Hoke who has HC experience. And if they go in a direction like that I will be floored.

Mike Bobo.

He's been mentioned in a few articles as a "great candidate for Tennessee." Bobo was a good OC at Georgia, but he's been pretty mediocre as a Head Coach. He took the Colorado State program that Jim McElwain built up and he went 7-6 for two seasons without a single relevant win. He's 5-2 this year and admittedly, probably played Bama closer than we will, but I still would not be happy about hiring another "Georgia guy" with a mediocre track record as a head coach.

Norvell wouldn't be bad, but he's certainly not in my top tier. The dude knows offense. My only concern is that he has run a very pass-heavy offensive style at Memphis. In the SEC, you have to be able to run the ball. Does the Air Raid really work in the SEC? I'm not so sure. Nevertheless, I'd have more faith in Norvell to get this offense going than I do Butch Jones.

Fortunately, I have no knowledge of what takes place in D4H's bedroom.

Butch Jones is still our coach, I'm already in the pit of misery. I've been in the pit of misery since Cutcliffe left.

 

[coachjkb]

Miles and I would jump off the bridge

 

[tobybeast]

Somebody from a non power 5 conference.

 

[peyton4heisman]

Lane Kiffin, Derek Dooley, Butch Jones..... wait

 

[TrishVol]

Butch getting the ok he will be here next year

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Charlie Weis, Mike Leach, or John Candy.

Being as he's been dead since 1994, we'll probably all wind up in the Pit of Misery if he is chosen as the Vols next HC.
