Guys, the best head coaches often don't have HC experience when they take over big jobs. Richt, Fulmer, Smart, you can go on and on. Plus Dabo was a darn WR coach when Clemson made him the HC.

The best guy isn't the one with the "best experience".

If you can recruit, motivate, and hire a great staff that is what counts the most.

Hire TEE.

If you want to track down Sexton's standard contract addendum and read it, you'll see several clauses that UT legal counsel finds highly objectionable. UT tries to strike them, Sexton refuses and negotiations become testy and stall. Unless, of course, UTAD panics and capitulates, which we have been known to do. Twice now. Luckily, we resisted a third.

Thanks for that info. That is important.

Just because we/they had hope that this university might actually do something spectacular? So what if we were wrong? Did it somehow hurt you?

It sets the fan base up for disappointment! Why can people not get that?

I think I can get Alexandria Daddario to date me. People lie to me and tell me she is into me and I believe them all.

Well I have to date someone and Alexandria never had any intention of dating me. No matter what girl I wind up with, even if she is hot, I am going to be disappointed and probably ruin it.

I like Tee. He's a good guy. Dooley was a fool not to hire him when Tee wanted to come home and had to settle for UK instead. Kiffin would have brought him here if he'd stayed. But now, the timing isn't right-- not for Tee or UT. Why burn the bridge?

If you really like Tee, you don't want him as the head coach of the university of Tennessee.

Torn between Brohm having the edge with hc experience/liking his offense and Tee having the UT pedigree and love for the program. I'll be happy if we get either honestly.

Part of being a successful athletic department is managing expectations. How did Currie and Bev think that keeping the Gruden buzz going was going to help them in their search? No one needed smokescreens around a Schiano hire. I haven't heard a single report that we were even competing with anyone for him. Sure, he may have turned down 2 jobs last year, but this year there was no smoke for him.

Had Currie come out and ended the Gruden rumors once he knew for sure it was done, he may have been able to salvage Schiano as a coach. It's fine to do some smokescreening when you know your actual hire is going to be exciting. However, if you know your hire will be a huge blow to a fan base with high expectations, you need to be as transparent as you can be, so that we, as fans, can rationalize how we ended up with Schiano when you promised something big, explosive, and expensive. Funny, that Currie is the one that ended up with something big, explosive, and expensive without even having a coach in place right now.

The whole smokescreen idea is so dumb. It’s message board fantasy borne of the idea that our AD is James Bond and we can hire whoever we want.

I think Brohm would take this job. He would bypass at least a rung or two on the coaching ladder immediately.

Brohm will be a hot name next year if he sticks with Purdue another year. Why in hell would he want walk into this disaster of a team and work for an imbecile?

He'll withdraw his name. wait and see.

Screw you Currie, you've forced me to link a Rucker article and endorse it as excellent journalism. That's how far your incompetence has reached.

I'm all in on Tee with a VFL heavy staff. Maybe he sucks. But it literally cannot get any worse than it was this season. Just can't. So let's give the VFL plan a chance.
