Extremely premature coaching candidate discussion (merged)

[UTVolinExile]

Guys. Butch is NOT being fired. Talking about it is stupid. We are still paying Dooley and Butch is contracted through 2020 IIRC. Our AD can't afford another buyout and a top tier head coach.

We CAN afford, and should demand, assistant changes.

 

[VOLinAL]

Gary Patterson or Cutcliffe paired with a newly retired Peyton as OC/QB coach.

Come on, UT is not going to make a change at head coach in 2015 unless we go 5 -7 or worse. Unlike the mob, the UTAD is patient enough and smart enough to wait it out for one more season. 2016 has always been our projected breakout year, not 2015.Today sucked and so did Oklahoma. I'm as sick as everyone hearing " next year " But 2016 has always been " The Year ". It sucks but, that's the truth. There is no quick fix, either love UT or jump!! Kentucky and Vandy need new fans every day.

your right,how CBJ hires and fire during the off season will define his tenure at Tennessee,of course there is a lot of football to be played between now and then

we will have to see how it all works out

 

[gordonr24]

Memphis head coach Justin Fuente will be our next coach .

At least WRU will be true when he gets here

Fuente will make it big, wherever he goes. He's winning at Memphis, of all places.

They were an absolute dumpster fire before him, too. It would be nice to have better in-roads in the West Tennessee too.


But he's leaving after this season and unless the wheels come off, we're not making a change. It seems like our coaching changes always come at the worst time.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So, so dumb.

Of course you would say this. So I guess this loss isn't on Jones huh?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Urban Meyer

Could you imagine what he would do with the talent on this team? Wow.

 

[CrzyVolLdy]

Fantasy is fun. But, neither are going to be hired at Tenn. CLJ will be our coach for at least one more year.

Honest serious question - but What if he only wins 4 games (or 5) this year ??

 

[Bingovol86]

If they only win 4 or 5 the program is a perennial loser and no big name will have any interest. Also, they buyouts alone would keep them from going after any win now coach.

 

[cool_vol]

just get coach Cutcliffe and bring coach Chavis back... they know what winning feels like

 

[chuckb1448]

can Bain coach?

 

[itouchedthe_bUTch]

Should be 4-0 bud we are 2-2 I love Butch but lord we gotta win

 

[TheEndlessEnigma]

Could you imagine what he would do with the talent on this team? Wow.

If you can put up with all the arrests, then he is the guy for you. We can turn UT into TU (thug U).

 

[WesternKyVol]

Bring him to me.

 

[Volz4lif3]

Bring him to me.

Would be great hire.. But it's not gonna happen this year.. If I would guess just guessing.. Fuente will be hired at Auburn..

 

[landscapingvol]

Precisely why you are not very bright, he has been a head coach for what 2 years? At a school with literally no pressure to win whatsoever much like the hire we have right now.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

yep, THUG UT is what we need. 5 more years! 5 more years! 5 more years!

 

[WesternKyVol]

Hey, I'd rather have Kelly or Gruden, but our administration has shown an unwillingness to hire a sure thing. At least hire someone with a prayer of being a home run.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Can't wait till you guys chase off BJ because ESPN told you to and someone else comes in here and wins with Jones' guys and Jones's program.

 

[tumscalcium]

It's UThug.........

 

[Dustin4Vols]

We need a proven coach. He hasnt

 

[WesternKyVol]

+1. Would be glorious. We need to do it soon before the recruiting dries up.

 

[SDV]

Who?

 

[Volz4lif3]

Can't wait till you guys chase off BJ because ESPN told you to and someone else comes in here and wins with Jones' guys and Jones's program.

Mmm did you just say that? That sounds great IMO cause Butch is not winning right now with his own players.. Confused now
