You leave "home to follow your dreams and sometimes your dreams can't be fulfilled at "home". Tee would love to come back for the right opportunity, but HC aspirations (dreams), outweigh a lateral move back to where it all began for him.

I had a thought yesterday...well, several in fact, but anyway.

Concerning the Helton hire. I wonder if perhaps Tee turned us down since he's likely in line for a HC gig at some point in the next little bit, but recommended Helton to Fulmer/Pruitt. I really don't think Tee would ever turn his back on us completely and you have to think he and Fulmer are still tight. "I'm honored, but I would rather wait for a head coach gig. But I have this guy on staff that's sharp..."

I like to think Tee still has us in his heart and wouldn't want to see the Vols fail. And I can't make any link with Pruitt and Helton, so it might stand to reason he'd take the advice of Fulmer if Tee planted the bug in his ear.

My conspiracy theory for the day.

I don’t think he would want his golden boy image ruined if things go bad so he quietly stays away. He loves Tennessee sure but will likely never coach here.

Also, if you’re not the head coach, and the head coach leaves or is fired, there’s a good chance that you’ll have to start hunting a new job unless you become the new HC...

This is a theory that had not crossed my mind, but I like it.

Wow, the thread is dead-stopped today, and our internet is still broken at work. How am I supposed to pass the time?!?
