My list goes as follows-

1. Fuente

2. Mullen

3. That's about it for realistic candidates
 
You guys are crazy if you think Haslam tanked the Gruden deal. The simplest explanation and the one most supported is that Gruden doesn't want to coach CFB.

LWS is better known for dispeling bad info than releasing revelations. I am hopeful that for once his Frost info proves to be predicitive. The issue with hiring any good college coach is we have to wait until after regular season anyway. That only leaves firing Butch and promoting an interim. None of us knows if the team would actually respond better to an interim.

I would almost guarantee the team rallies around an interim at this point. The kids need a reset button to get their focus back and that would be it.
But hey, currie is trying to save a buck so who knows, screw us...
 
I'm interested in how Matt Campbell does with the his next game against TCU.

Kirk Herbstreit says Matt Campbell should be first choice for any school...

He beats TCU and his name skyrockets. Heck of a coach. Pats organization tried to get him before became Toledo HC. He was Urbans top OC target at Ohio st before Herman but he turned it down.

I don't know his Recruiting background and connections though. He may be in the right spot for himself already. Only SEC school I could see him being a fit at is KY with him being in the OH area for so long at Toldeo.

Frost should be out #1 of that tier. He is building connections in Florida to fit his offense.

Mike Gundt OK ST coach
110-51 overall record
Best season 12-1 in 2011 and finished 3 in AP poll
Worst season 4-7 in 2005

Has been up an down since 2011 currently but is on an upswing since his down year in 2014.

2016
10-3 finished ranked 11th
Opened season losing to unranked Central Michigan but beat ranked TX and WVU that year.

2017
6-1
One loss was to number 16 TCU
Best win TX by 3 yesterday

My take is his stock is too high for a lateral move and he hasn't done enough for a break the bank move.

Hiring Matt Campbell would continue the tradition of hiring a dude with an embarassing high school picture that can be used as a meme:

One bonus for Matt Campbell is that he beat Butch at Toledo. So we wouldn't be hiring a dude who lost to the dude that we just fired.

This is Matt when he was in junior high and going through a rough patch...

Bummed mods merged my coaching posts into this thread. Could have at least bounced it to FB forum

College Football News: Teams to Fade - at VegasInsider.com.

Tennessee: I’ve actually only gone against UT once this year, cashing in with South Carolina last week as a three-point underdog in its 15-9 win at Neyland Stadium. The Volunteers are in their richest underdog position of Butch Jones’s tenure this week at Alabama. Just like I was appalled that Hugh Freeze wasn’t forced to be on the Ole Miss sidelines for the 66-3 clubbing it took from the Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium a few weeks ago, it would be borderline criminal if Jones didn’t have to take this shellacking that he’s got coming on Saturday up close and in-person. Reports out of Knoxville indicate that UT’s powerful attorneys have been working on the details of a buyout over the last two weeks. And with the torture UT’s fan base has been put through with five years of Butch-isms, there’s little doubt that the pink slip will be issued before lunch on Monday (if not sooner).

As for the on-field product, UT is either 0-6, 0-5-1 or 1-5 ATS depending on what line bettors had for its loss at Florida by six (the number was all over the place that week and in the final 90 minutes before kickoff). Jones changed QBs for some reason last week, and the result was three field goals and zero TDs. That lack of production prompted another vintage Butch-ism on Monday. “Our football team did everything there is to win the game except for scoring TDs.” Boom! He’s the gift that keeps giving, isn’t he? The Vols have chemistry issues, evidenced by two recent fights at practice. One resulted in a comical denial by Jones, who lied and said the black eye Shy Tuttle was sporting came from falling on a helmet. The second garnered an indefinite suspension for Darrell Taylor, the sophomore DE who was playing well. Injuries have been a killer, too. Four defensive starters, including one of the nation’s top safeties and all three projected starters at LB, are done for the season. So is UT’s best WR, Jauan Jennings, leaving the offense with zero proven playmakers outside of stud RB John Kelly.

Our last two teams on the Fade List are obvious since they’re the only teams in the country lacking a spread cover this year.
 
I told myself I was done with volnation for a week because this is depressing me.

Then after church I find myself smoking a cigarette and reading volnation.

Addiction sux!
 
Butch and Sexton will negotiate a reduced buyout and he'll head for an Oregon State-like job if he goes 8-4.
