We have to make a legitimate, statement hire ATP.

Ok. Now that Jones is gone I've got a list. 1. Gruden 2. Frost 3. Campbell 4. Jim Bob Cooter.

I like that.

Some one is going to do an expose about the Jones coaching era, from the no-quit loyalty to a string where every SEC team had won the last game against the Vols. It's going to be fascinating.

Would he tell Saban that in order to be the man he has to beat the man?

I'm telling you, these Flair jokes are funny, but to me, they are what I want in a coach.

Not an over the top personality. But a guy who isn't afraid of Saban. I've seen a few of you guys write on here that oh, coaches will be hesitant to come here because they're afraid of big bad saban and Alabama cause they'd have to play them twice a year.

Screw that. If Currie calls a guy and he shows any hesitancy about having to play Saban, then hang up the phone immediately. I don't want that guy here I don't care who he is.

I want the guy who sees that we play Saban twice and year and says "Good! Bring it on!" I want a guy who believes he's the best dang coach in football and he wants to prove it. I want the guy that says "I want to be the man! And to be the man, you have to beat the man!"

I want that guy. You think Gruden is afraid of Saban? I don't. I don't think Mike Gundy is either. I think there are coaches who believe that they are the best and they want to prove it. I want the guy who believes that in just a few years Bama fans will be crying that they have to play TN every year. Bring me that guy!

“Derek Dooley was a straight up guy,” he stated. “I don’t think they gave him enough time.”

I think I've heard enough from Mr. Lane, Sr.

 

[Orange Studs]

Look what you have done to Bass Ron. lol:

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Exactly.

It sounds like he wans to be here, just based on what I have read.

Let me just state my stance once again: What Kiffin did at USC was just short of a miracle. They had major scholarship restrictions, and weren't allowed to go to a bowl game...Yet, they were pulling in 5 tar recruits like nobody's business. Incredible! How they were able to compete for 60 minutes with other GOOD teams over the course of a season, is simply amazing.

And the thing with contacting recruits, that was on Ogre, not Kiffin, as far as I know.

Having said all that, I personally have decided that there would still be way too much bad blood with many fans, to make it worth the risk...

Maybe our next hire, in 5 - 15 years, maybe after his personality mellows a bit more...Who knows?

Thanks for stopping by Lane.

Ron has me all fired up that Gruden is coming and we're about to take over.

 

[BigZiti09]

None of this crap is good for UT football. Digging up bones only hurts us.

I wish CBJ well and hope he lands a job somewhere else to save us millions that can be spent on the next staff.

The Dooley comment invalidated everything Daddy said. Junior did that already.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Anybody see the Tennessee state player punch his coach? Ridiculous.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Simonton says on 104.5 recruiting will be issue for Gruden and doesn't think he takes job. Mullen followed by Morris after him.

If he really said that he should be terminated for dumbassery on the spot by Hubbs.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

He was saying he has been quoted saying he couldn't follow the rules. Saying it's a reason he won't take the job

Obviously, he’s calling decommitted prospects and what not.

Makes me think we may see a different team these last 2 weeks.

 

[BruinVol]

Obviously, he’s calling decommitted prospects and what not.

Who is obviously calling Decommitts?

 

[Face]

Obviously, he’s calling decommitted prospects and what not.

But what if he’s already signed and we’re just pending announcement?

 

[rekinhavoc]

The piling on isn't good. If Butch runs his mouth however all bets are off.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Makes me think we may see a different team these last 2 weeks.

I've been wondering that too. Hopefully a big weight is off these players to not feel like they have to save Butch's job or whatever. That has to be a lot of pressure.

Still don't have many linemen tho

Hank was practice fun today? Get the feeling Hoke is gonna make football fun for them these last two weeks.


Be nice to give old Ogre a big shlt burger this weekend.

Hoke definitely gives a more relaxed presser.

Where’s LAVol at? He’s been silent today.

 

[Face]

Where’s LAVol at? He’s been silent today.

Would assume he’s in LA.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Where’s LAVol at? He’s been silent today.

He was way off yesterday when he said there wasn’t going to be a firing.
