Has any power 5 school ever hired a coach with a record that bad? Seriously I doubt it’s possible

Chizek, majors and holtz all had terrible records

 

[ionaVOL]

This search was over before it started. Underwhelming was the only option the whole time, its the UT way. At least the past decade...smh

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

Let's looks at the offenses Mel Tucker went against this year:

From best to worst:

Probably not. Chizik was 5-19.

Coach O? Steele’s record makes him look like CHris Petersen

Orgeron was 10-25 at Ole Miss. If he would've stayed 1 more season it would've been close.

Dan Quinn is supposedly a top DC in the NFL and the Falcons ranked 30th in defense last year. You have to have players. The Patriots are 28th in total defense right now with Belichick.

Yeah, but 5 of the 7 NFL defenses Tucker coordinated we’re bottom-quartile. Only one was in the top half of the league. Admittedly, there may be some mitigating context, but not a great sign.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

Please be Tucker and not Steele

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

 

[volfanCLT]

Orgeron was 10-25 at Ole Miss. If he would've stayed 1 more season it would've been close.

He was 6-2 as interim at USC as well.

So 16-27 before he took the LSU job

Steele is 9-36

 

[drylo]

lsu?

Close, but not as bad. Also came after he proved it as an interim.

It's gonna be pretty depressing if we hire Steele. Tucker is more meh than out right turd but Tucker>>>>>Steele.

Much rather Venables or Morris

Basilio also said that Fulmer is swinging for the fences in New York. Still talking to people. Hope he's right.

Uh, last time i checked, "swinging for the fences" is not hanging out talking to the candidates they have listed.. those are singles...

So far, Fulmer looks like a old has-been who will continue to keep our program down in the gutter. That hype video tho.... wow, what a bait and switch job... He's about to make a garbage hire and folks on here trying to justify it and be okay with it... here we go again with another Dooley or Butch... this place is hilarious. Phil just fooled everyone.
Can't wait for the presser to listen to 'Ol Phil try and spin this as what we need to be successful. Fail. Fail.... Oh, and Fail.

You got coaches like Morris, Brohm, Leach, and Miles who are head and shoulders above Steele and Tucker... whatever, you guys wanted Phil, now you get to live with his trash hire.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

If its Steele lots of Tennessee fans who are left will check out. For at least 2 years. Then the search will begin again.

 

[New-Vols-Fan]

No way does Phil Fulmer truly believe that Kevin Steele is the right man to get Tennessee back to relevancy. No way.

If we hire Kevin Steele I've just got to believe that Phil Fulmer is not calling the shots and that somehow the Haslams still have their hands in this thing.

He was 6-2 as interim at USC as well.

So 16-27 before he took the LSU job

Steele is 9-36

I see your point. My point is when a 2nd chance was presented to Orgeron, interim at USC, his previous record was 10-25. He has improved since then. Steele will still be terrible.

I don't think anyone is impressed with Tucker, but when the other option is Steele, Tucker becomes Saban like.
