It is fun watching another school going through the coaching search.

Not as easy as you think - especially after you ax your last one.

Auburn however may get richer. That is the best staff in america.

100% Agree if that is where Muschamp ends up. They will have an offensive mastermind and a defensive mastermind.

NASHVILLE -- Justin Coleman had plenty of free time the past three Decembers.

Too much free time, the Tennessee defensive back would tell you.

He and the Volunteers will be a little busier this December, though.

For the first time in the careers of nearly every player on Tennessee's roster, there's a bowl game to play, meaning 15 practices after the semester ends and travel plans for the last week of the month, depending on the destination.

It's a welcome change for Coleman and his teammates.

"It's going to be kind of weird, because I remember going home and having some of my friends going to a bowl game," the senior said after notching his team-leading fourth interception in Tennessee's 24-17 win at Vanderbilt on Saturday.

"They'd come home for a couple days, then leave, and I'd feel left out like, 'Why are we not going to a bowl game?' Going to a bowl game's going to be very fun."

I agree it really does not make sense. Maybe his agent was in his 1st year on the job? :)

Dooley got 5 million. Muschump gets 6 million. 7.5 does seem high for a CSU gig.

You would have to admit though the AD at CSU gets a job well done IF it plays out. His football program is on an upswing, he can hire a good coach as they are winning, and the 1.5 million or so they would pay him is being paid by UF for the next 5 years. :eek:lol:

I believe I know who his agent is, and we all know him. He represents Saban and everyone else.

Little tidbit: McIlwain nearly accepted the Memphis job, but there was a late hangup, and they offered Justin Fuente. Worked out for everyone because Fuente just finished a 9-3 year at Memphis.

Im glad we have our coach and aren't involved in this coaching search mess this year. Lots of big name programs competing against each other this off season for coaches.

The only good thing about Muschamp and Malzhan together is they are so polar opposite in fundamental scheme it could actually be a distraction and more importantly they play in the west and are not our annual draw. I just do not want Muschamp paired with Spurrier. We have a good thing going with USC.

I may regret this later but this hire does not scare me. I find it hard to believe they will go this route.

Doesn't surprise me. AD's sometimes will look at their coaching experience while coming up through the ranks. McElwain is from the Saban tree so that is a big reason for going after him. Dooley was also from the Saban tree.

Edit: Seems like I remember Saban saying Tennessee was making a mistake getting rid of Dooley. He felt that Dooley was doing a fine job here. That Saban's a nice guy.

A bowl win would be a really nice final push for recruiting. I'm meh on 6-6 especially how we limped to the close. I know it was warranted with all the player losses but by bowl time we should be healthy and regrouped.

If they'd even entertain the CSU buyout mine as well go all in for Freeze. That Miss St win likely just made him an extra 1/2 mil easy. UF is wise to push early with all the other schools now scrambling.

I said like most at the beginning that 6-6 should be the expectation, and we got there. I honestly don't care if we had blown out those 6 teams or only beat them by 1 point each.

UT DL Derek Barnett had one of the most impressive regular season performances by a UT defensive player in the last several years.

The dominant, true freshman defensive-end finished the regular season as one of the top defensive statistical leaders in both the SEC and the NCAA.

Barnett completed his freshman season by recording 69 tackles, 20.5 TFL, & 10 sacks.

Barnett's 69 tackles placed him tied for 4th on UT's team. His tackle total was also good for 25th place in the SEC & was the 2nd highest total of any freshman in the conference (Nigel Bowden-Vanderbilt-78).

Barnett excelled most at disrupting his opponents' backfield & notching tackles behind the LOS. The DE recorded a team best 20.5 tackles for loss during his true freshman year. That total placed Barnett 1st (tied with Missouri DE Shane Ray) in the SEC for most TFL this season, while also placing him with the 3rd highest TFL total in the entire NCAA. Barnett finished the season with the most TFL by a freshman in the SEC & the NCAA. The next closest TFL totals by freshmen were 13.5 by OSU LB Darron Lee & 12.5 by Texas A&M DE Myles Garrett.

Barnett also finished with the 2nd most sacks on UT's defense this season with 10 (Curt Maggitt-11). Barnett's regular season sack total was the 4th highest in the SEC & tied for the 13th highest in the NCAA. Barnett finished the season with the 2nd most QB sacks by a freshman in the SEC & the NCAA (Myles Garrett-Texas A&M-11).

Derek Barnett's Final Statistical Standings:

Tackles: (4th most on the team, 25th most in the SEC).
TFL: (Most on team, most in the SEC, 3rd most in NCAA).
Sack: (2nd most on the team, 4th most in the SEC, 13th most in NCAA).

I saw the video here, I believe I got it from LynxVol, but can someone please help me find the video of the red headed Vols fan after we lost to Miss St a few years back. He called CP the reincarnate of Keanu Reeves. I'm having no luck

I've looked for them all season unsuccessfully. His YouTube account has been removed. It was under "rondoguitardude".

And they're gone from every website that linked his videos as well.

Damn. That was hilarious. He absolutely dogs Dooley and in the middle of him yelling profanity he pauses, applies a round thing of lip balm, and says, "My lips are a little dry."


I lost it
