Tennessee coaching search: Kevin Steele, Chad Morris, Brent Venables emerge

Griffith with not even a mention of Tucker. Makes me not believe his report considering Tucker is on his way for second interview.

Can't believe for a minute that there was an uprising and boosters making plays to remove Currie and Haslams so we could put Fulmer in place to do the exact same thing, completely tank the program. If people fill the stands for another round of garbage, then you are fools and the national media was right. This is just sad.

Everything points to us being screwed.

If tee comes here as OC i will delete my account.

 

[JCP201]

That's irrelevant. The part about Steele putting together a staff is scary.

We heard that about Gruden, but this is more the Tennessee way.

If it isnt Les Miles then I am back in.....I just had to leave when I thought it was Les

Out for Les but in for Steele..wtf

Your best post

His info on Auburn is very good?

"Front runner" and "major player" are completely different things. Were you intentionally trying to mislead?

I don't remember his exact wording. Sorry didn't mean to mislead

I will wait for staff and otherwise before judging Steele. Far from my first choice

Yeah, that could soften the blow for me. A coach can only be as good as who he surrounds himself with.

It would still be a very hard sell to fans and recruits.

Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish lady....

Leach, no Leach
Tee, no Tee
Miles, no Miles
Morris, no Morris
Brohm, no Brohm
Venables, no Venables
Pruitt, no Pruitt
Tucker, no Tucker


We are at the bottom again... epic fail -- Steele.
Kiss any and every chance on recruits goodbye boys and girls.
Hey, but we got Phil at the wheel, so everything is going to be great!!!! Wait, NM.

We about to hire a guys who went 9-36, won 1 conference game in 4 years, and hasn’t sniffed another HC job since.

Was also let go twice since then as a DC at a major program.

60 years old and hasn’t been a top recruiter in years.

This is the final nut punch for Vols all over the world

 

[LaagerVol]

Oh, I know. I am just saying the staff isn't going to be good. No one is hitching their wagon to Steele.

Right. What assistants would want to come here to coach under him?

 

[scores4fun]

I honestly don't believe they have not reached out to Tee in some shape, form, or fashion to gauge his interest. May not have been up front but someone has talked to him. I just don't know if he is interested in taking the job at this point. Until Tee comes out in person and says they have not reached out to me I just won't believe it.

Yeah...someone with a national championship ring on his finger, can recruit like hell and a big fat grudge is a horrible choice.

 

[BruinVol]

Tee may very well see his situation at USC hurting him since he really isn't in charge. If he came here and did well under a Defensive head coach his stock would be much higher

Cause no one is that good a salesman

 

[crazyguy]

A Steele hire is utter bull****. This is worse than Dooley to me.

 

[Vol8188]

Also won’t judge Steele based on coaching a dumpster fire program 15 years ago.

If he wanted to be a head coach at a major program, he should've proved himself at a smaller program like Charlie Strong and Lane Kiffin. Otherwise, there's no justification for hiring a failed head coach.

Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish lady....

Farewell and adieu you ladies of Spain.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Steele is worse than Schiano. The worst hire I can think of, and that’s who it’s gonna be
