Right but I think Frost going to Florida is in our best interest if it means that Mullen falls into our laps. I think with our resources he would take us back to where we expect to be

Not sure that Frost going there would be in our best interest, but Mullen would do great here.

He has a great track record as a QB coach, OC, and HC in developing really good college QB's. He has had Alex Smith, Leak, Tebow, Prescott, and now Fitzgerald. He also got MSU to the Orange Bowl. The last time they had played in a major bowl was 1941. Florida was 44-9 when he was the OC there with two national championships. He would win big here with the right DC.

He is coaching at a school that should be in the bottom 4 or 5 every year in the conference and does well.

Speaking of Rich Rod... He checks a lot of boxes for Tennessee. Experienced and successful at the P5 level (4 Big East titles, 1 Pac 12 South title - 3 BCS/NY6 bowls, even an NAIA Natty). Dynamic offense (currently 6th in the NCAA in total O, 3rd in the NCAA in scoring O). Good recruiter. No real NCAA baggage (only minor stuff at Michigan).

Everyone will point to his tenure at Michigan, but remember, he improved their record in year 2 over year 1 and year 3 over year 2. Then Brady Hoke won 11 games with his players in his first year (before Hoke declined the program all the way to 5 wins in his year 4).

Rich Rod took Arizona to the Fiesta Bowl, and to only their 3rd double digit winning season in program history.

He's only 54. Base salary at Arizona is only $2.2M.

His offense relies on extremely elusive mobile QBs. His teams never play defense

Mix together CBJ's stubborn, controlling personality, the boosters' sense of entitlement and self-importance, DiPietro's hands-off attitude toward athletics and Currie's lone-wolf arrogance and what do you get? We're seeing it.

UT's tendency to be conservative, risk-averse and indecisive is the cherry on top.

The only problem is that his offense always gets shut out by Saban defenses, and then Smart's defense this season. Could be lack of talent, or very possible that Saban and Smart have Mullen's scheme figured out.

It's most likely the jimmies and joes, see vs ohio st. in 2015 and last year against clemson.

Just a reminder of how incredible it is that Chip Kelly is not coaching, we have an offense built for Chip Kelly’s type of play calling, we are about to fire and hire a coach, and not a single Chip Kelly will be contacted most likely

Phenomenal

Kirby Smart, and the very talented staff he has assembled in Athens, is in the process of changing that.

I don't disagree there. That said, I never thought he was as bad as played up here, but I'm not crowning him yet either- although he's getting closer by the week.

When UGA actually beats a good football team I will be convinced he is legit. I don't buy the ND hype either, they were 4-8 last year and haven't beaten anyone. Notre Dame got so much credit for beating USC, who has stuggled mightily against anyone good.

Not sure how anyone would question a Mullen hire. He is about to go to his 8th straight bowl appearance at Miss St, which is almost half of the bowl appearances in the school's history.

Rich Rod would certainly be an upgrade over Butch, and is better than a lot of the candidates (you've especially) named. Would definitely been near the top of a consolation list.

I'm wondering if something happens today with butch. That Currie statement was interesting. All he did was state policy and expectations. He didn't say anything about the staff meeting and following that protocol..... this could be his lead in to firing with cause.

I could be reading too much into it but I found it odd he didn't specifically state that this is our policy and it was followed. He only said this is our policy

I found that interesting as well. Currie normally doesn’t speak publicly unless he really needs to.

Choke artist man, Freeze out coached him annually. He can develop QBs but that's about it.

It'd be a solid B hire. Don't know if that's questioning or not.

RR success at WVU was solely due to Pat White. The best thing RR could've done for UT was not back out on taking the Alabama job which led them to hire Saban!!😩

Well that is just blatantly false. Two of RR's 4 Big East titles were before Pat White stepped on campus, and he left WVU before White's senior year.
