My coach wish List:
Good winning record.
Good game day coach and recruiter.
puts the best players on the field regardless of age or whether they brown nose.
Good strength and conditioning --less injuries.
(and just for me) Change Spring game back to the way Fulmer had it--

Make us understand oh wise Catbone.

I agree with Cat, as much as it pains me. In this universe we have found ourselves in, where Butch is somehow still employed, and where our admin appears content with 38 pt beatdowns against hated rivals, Frost is our ceiling.

I'm in for Frost.

I’m a fan of frost also. Gotta make a run at a few P5 guys first if you’re gonna make a very public search out of it, but if Currie does this thing in the shadows (like some think he will) and we end up with Frost, I’ll be more than happy.

He probably still has some work to do as a HC, but he’s been a part of some really successful football teams/programs, has been around a lot of great coaches, and has a killer instinct that we’ve been lacking from a HC for a long time.

It might take him 2-3 seasons, but he’d give us a team that goes out with the objective of pounding opponents into the dust every Saturday. Dude would probably recruit up a storm as well. If he’s coaching in the same state Mariota is playing in, I bet he uses that connection to his advantage. He’d have a lot to sell on the recruiting trail.

If JG throws it to Callaway he probably scores. I believe it was WR screen he had blockers in front of him.

If you look at the replay, the Bama DBs were not fooled. The safeties were dropping back. Probably would have a first down though.

Last night I ran into a friend that’s currently on the Georgia staff. Here are some things he said:

1. Watching film, Tennessee has a lot of talent. The offense is genereric and the offensive line doesn’t attack. They thought they’d win but not 41-0.

2. Kirby is under a lot of pressure coaching his alma mater. The staff asked him to trust them this year and he has relaxed a little.

3. Bob Stoops was a guest at their practice last week. He said Bob said that there was no way he’d coach again. Said he was done and lost the passion.

4. I asked him what everybody talks about when Tennessee is discussed. He said that his players make fun of the Butchisms especially life champions. In the locker room at halftime, somebody (he wouldn’t say who) shouted let’s go finish off the life champions. How embarrassing is that???

4. I asked about the grumers. He said they obviously haven’t heard anything but thinks Kelley and patrino is definitely in the mix. He said some of the coaches said they’d be concerned a little with Gruden because of the hype on recruiting.

4. He said they are fixing to blast Florida and try to score some serious points. He said Kirby may call off the dogs if he gets to feeling sorry for Jim lol!

5. He said they didn’t watch film on Tennessee like they usually do because Tennessee doesn’t have but a hand full of plays.

6. He’s been on three staffs (1 DII, 1ACC, and 1SEC) and played on an SEC team in the mid 2000s. He said Tennessee is the worst coached team he’s ever studied. I about cried but I already knew it.

Somebody in Gruden thread posted from TOS saying Strip will be the interim.
I looked and he is also Associate HC. Possibly he is the best middle man.

He was Associate HC the PAST 4 SEASONS. Hoke has that title this season.

I'm at the point where I'm done if they don't manage a name. We spend too much time and money while we see Bama et al go out and get their guy. I'll always love UT but I'm sick of this 3 to 5 yr cycle. We're better off getting a real coach.

I agree, but I am resigned to the fact that it's just not that easy. Unless Gruden or Kelly want to come because they are out of football, it will be very difficult to get a sitting head coach at the P5 level unless it's someone like Jimbo, who wants a change of scenery. If we go after a P5 coach, then it means they are good and comfortable and stable at their current job. I like Patterson, but he won't jump for $2 million more for a risky proposition when he is a hero at his current school. Just the landscape of college coaching now.

They are delusional. They only want Gruden, Peyton, Kelly, or Patterson. They dont understand we arent landing a dream hire like that.
Click to expand...

I 'want' a Patterson etc.. but if you take 1 poster and combine their posts, not sure what they want.

1. post "a proven winner" - well that narrows the list quickly.

Same poster - "No to Frost, must have P5 hc experience" - Throw out Gruden

"Proven SEC recruiter and winner" - Throw out Patterson and Kelly.
Mullen isn't proven to be able to recruit in the SEC.

You add all their posts together and basically we have to hire Saban/Meyer or shut down the program.

If anyone watched SC this morning, we were the butt of all the jokes. It is kind of stupid how we are the only one that gets hounded like this. Ole Miss rolled over to LSU last night (with our same record) and not a peep. And this is after they were caught blatantly paying players and all of the mess with Freeze.

Admin needs to get off their ****ing asses and remove the source of infection

I don't see how he Butch is not fired by tomorrow, except it is Tennessee. He just had three of the worst SEC losses ever by a Tennessee head coach combined with embarrassing situations such as a banner, grocery store dessert messages, double bird flipping on national TV, nationally displayed idiotic coach speak quotes, and so on. He nearly got JG killed with his pathetic scheme/play calls. If he is not fired by tomorrow, the university/boosters have no pride when it comes to money. They value it over the program and fan base.

They made a contract with him, honor it and fire him immediately. Limping along with a pathetic loser that even they make fun of also sends a pathetic message to the coaching community.

He’s gone. No point in rushing, especially if they’re negotiating the buyout.
