| I want Charlie Strong over Smart any day. It's not even close. IMO I want Gruden or Strong as my bext coach. Don't want anymore first timers. Spend the money right the first time and hire a real head coach. |

I think it's a huge long shot he goes from Super Bowl coach, to MNF making $4-5M working a few hours a week acting like a celebrity, to college football at a program that is down.
Crazier things have happened, I guess. | |

| Sadly, anyone we hire will likely be a more successful head coach than Dooley. I commend him for taking the job when he did and correcting some of the issues. | |

Crazier things have happened, I guess. | I would have agreed with you up until this morning. They will make a strong push for him, whether he accepts is a different story. I personally thought he wasn't even in the picture, but apparently that is not the case. | |

I'm thankful for the job that Dooley has done here and the improvements he's made to the roster and the off the field image at UT. | |

I still stand by those words, even if the guy can't beat anyone other than Vanderbilt. | |

Cutcliffe is in my top five as well cause if you can win a Duke ACC or not you can coach and should be given a chance at bigger program. | |

The amount of offensive talent this team is wasting is crazy. | |
