Wait the article states that Fulmer is "He’s keen on younger candidates and has shown a lean toward defensive ones." Then says Kevin Steele.

I thought Kevin Steele was like 60?

Yahoo clearly doesn't know ****.

How is there still a Gruden thread? Over there saying Phil met with Gruden yesterday. Where do they come up with that stuff??

Yahoo also wrote an article about Gruden to the Vols early in the search so...

Been in the truck the last 2 hours driving to cbus, uggg, dislike this town. Anyhow, Fulmer got blasted on XM this morning. Of course it's all radio bs, but they weee saying he has a very vindictive reputation, and no decent coach will want him looking over their shoulder and calling the shots from the AD office. Luginbil referred to him as the Count of Monte Cristo.
Not sure if that's the national perception, but they seem to think so. Much like a Barry Alvarez type situation.

My gut feeling...we end up coming in last on the coaching hire. Everyone else, including Arkansas will be a better hire.

Probably.

Tuesday update> Source tells FootballScoop Fulmer is set to meet with Mel Tucker today in NYC. We understand this will be Tucker’s second talk with the Tennessee search. Kevin Steele remains a candidate and Chad Morris has visited with Fulmer as well (after already having visited with Currie). All of the above is per sources and we continue to hear that while in New York Fulmer is keeping his options open with regards to other potential candidates. We also though continue to hear Fulmer would like to have his man decided by the end of the day. Will update as more is clear.

I’m going Venables or Pruitt



Surprise candidate Jeff Brohm



* per VQ litigation all posts about coaching candidates must include Kevin Steele. Kevin Steele is a fall back option.

I just want to say I'm not going to be "out" if we hire Kevin Steele. It will be disappointing, no doubt, but at some point you have to give the job to someone who wants it and just get to work. If it falls to him it means we ran out of other options.

It would feel to me like Orgeron at LSU. In fact, their records are pretty similar at Baylor and at Ole Miss.

Good recruiters, good motivators. Build a staff around him and I'm willing to be patient. I won't be thrilled but I'll be supportive.

We’re gonna get punched in the nuts so hard. I’m hurting just thinking about it

 

[highspeed]

just think if we make a bad hire, in 3-5 years we can start obsessing over our delusional gruden fantasies and completely humiliate ourselves all over again.

I’d love to get back in on Brohm. Has he even been mentioned again??

So Venables wants the job? Someone let Phil know to go ahead and hire him.

If we get Steele and Arky pulls Venables, I'll lose my mind

Prepare for the worst. Embrace the nut kick.

What’s the scoop on Tucker? Does Georgia like him?

His resume and defense rankings over the years are all over the place

Or they get Leach and start boat racing people.

I was thinking this morning that steele is like coachO without the baggage. Not that I think O was a good hire but after one year is isn't awful

They like him now.

Would take Morris as HC and Tucker as DC right now. Lets go. Announce it and let them start recruiting. Thank you
