Hubbs is reporting Spence

will stay at Clemson. He is suppose to annouce 2morrow.

Why in the world this guy would turn down this job with the pay raise that we were offering is beyond me. Clemson must be offering him a raise or something. I don't see why anyone would rather be an OC at Clemson than UT.

Apparently that has been the plan all along, to leverage the UT job for more $$ at Clemson, and I don't think an official offer was ever made. His loss.

Just one step closer to Chris Hatcher.

Here is another site reporting the same:

Clemson offensive coordinator staying with Tigers

If Fulmer hires Kippy Brown as OC I am going to be very disappointed. This is his chance to show us something. Shake things up. Demonstrate an ability to adapt and change with the times. Fulmer is dangerously close to wasting a gem of an opportunity to win back some of us.

How exactly do you know this?

well it is fulmer so i wouldn't be surprised if we are disappointed.

Nothing about hiring Spence seemed like an upgrade over Cutcliffe...and, with the current state of Tennessee football, Fulmer with have to make a splash with this hire and bring in an offensive coach that has some clout.

This will all work out, and UT will get its man, but it doesn't really look good for Tennessee to have a Clemson coach turn down a higher paying job in Knoxville to stay with the Tigers.

Great... who really wanted him anyways?

The spread guys want someone else (Hatcher) and the 'pocket passer' gang likes KB and DM far more.

Kippy Brown is my last choice, utmba. I'd rather have Sanders back quite frankly. Everything I have read, which could be complete horse manure, has indicated that it is Spence or Brown. I was not thrilled over Spence but I figured he was a heck of a lot better than Brown or Adkins. It really drives me nuts that so many people are on Brown's bandwagon right now. The guy was an OC for one stinking year in Miami when the Dolphins were in a jam and needed a warm body. He did not last in the position and in the near decade since nobody else has offered him a similar opportunity. I just don't think he is qualified. I think two things are going one here. One, people like the fact that he has UTK ties. While I don't think that means much I accept that it is a feather in his cap under the present administration. Second, there seems to be some assumption that he will be a great recruiter but the guy has not recruited in 15 years. I just don't get it.
