Les alone is a bunt and cant happen .
Les with Tee and experienced SEC staff and recruiters is a solid stabilizing hire.
As for Scott Frost...
I just don't see what a lot of you guys on here see. I'd pick Tee 10/10 times over Frost.
I know there is probably not a snowballs chance in hell that Fulmer will even think about Kiffin... But I think that would be an absolute brilliant hire. It took me years to get over the Kiffin butt hurt, let's hope Phil can get over it too.

Why? Ohio State got run by 30+ by Iowa. They beat a good, but not great, Wisconsin team. You simply cannot have two losses and be the fourth best team in the country. I would rather USC get in over both, but that definitely will not happen.
The Miles hate by many is ridiculous. Even worse is the gray hair hate unless the name is Saban. Phil's right about that.
A TeeLes pairing is a home run. Fulmer knows what to do with it. We get the orange blooded Vol leading the program after he is mentored for a time by a really good football coach that players admire and perform at their highest level for in Les. Folks - he has 7 double digit win seasons in 11 years at LSU and has only been out for a little over a year. His worst two seasons were 8-5 in the toughest division in CFB. Most of it without quality QB's and with predictable offenses. Which is what Tee can address Day One.
Barring finding the perfect HC hire - this combo can win and build into what we want.
Les Miles without Tee is probably a better hire than Les Miles with Tee- and it's still not a good hire either way. While the arrangement that some envision sounds like a good idea in theory, it has the potential to get very bad and toxic very quickly. Miles would likely sign a 5 year contract, and I can promise you he won't see his role to be the kindly professor to Tee Martin.
I personally agree about the 2-loss thing, but Auburn would have been had they won last night.
