Short answer: Brent Venables.

Long response:

First, I don't see a coaching change coming until late/after next season (if it happens). IF Hart could and was inclined to go nuclear and do something before signing day 2017, I think there's only one person out there who's available and would even have the potential to flip our recruiting board. That's Chip Kelley. If you're not going to hire him, then there's no reason to make a change until the Fall.

Once the time comes, futile as it will be, the first thing I think the new AD has to do, and do it publicly, is to follow the advice of Clay Travis, Cowherd and others and back the dump truck of money up to JG's front door. Do not under any circumstances allow for any lingering doubt in the mind of this fanbase that we could've had the rockstar. It will not be fair to the new head coach or the fanbase to leave any trace of doubt on this matter. Hold a presser, shut it down, and move on.

My #1 is Venables. His body of work makes it clear that he can spot talent, develop talent, and place that talent in the best position to succeed. He knows how to recruit this area and the SW. Has publicly stated that he will not take on a rebuilding project, which means we couldn't wait to let the program crater again before pursuing him. It also means that if he accepted the job, we are ready to take the next step. Dave Aranda and Lincoln Riley are the other coordinators I'd look to. I think all three of these coaches will be HFC at P5 schools soon. They are the cream of the crop and I'd consider any one of them a home run.

I don't see much in the way of current P5 head coaches that I'd pursue. We're not flipping Jimbo or Jimmy Frank. If by some miracle Stoops or Gundy is available, they'd be on my list.

I'm leery of the non-P5 ranks after what happened with DD. That said, I'd look into Scott Satterfield.

Well thank you first time since the fihr Butch train left the station that someone has actually had an intelligent thought about who would replace him.

So basically you are saying go for a seasoned coordinator over a HC. Could work but probably wouldn't get us over the hump any quicker than where we are right now. Reminds me very much of the Kirby Smart situation where the team took a step back...we will see if it takes one forward but again it is delaying the greatness that all UT fans feel is their birthright.

As far as Gruden goes, he is not coaching anywhere every again. Its over. If Vols fans cannot come to terms with it then they are probably posting ish in the FF forum right now.

Oh I just started watching that show a couple weeks ago. It's a dandy. Got one more season left.

It is very well done. The main character is believable and I even liked Kevin Bacon in it. I watched the first two full seasons, but have not watched it more.

I loved the first season. But when they brought back the same bad guy for season 2, I stopped watching. It seemed lazy/uncreative. I liked his character but would have preferred a different serial killer and plot.

The Young Pope just started on HBO, if you are a Jude Law fan I highly recommend. Ive always been fascinated with Vatican City and the idea of a pope who is "self centered" to say the least.
