"I think the Hugh Freeze stuff has some legs"

If the past several coaching searches tell fans anything, it's that UT is more than likely not going to hire a "big" name coach. They have shown that they are willing to spend money but so are most other schools. I hope that changes but I would not get my hopes up on Freeze, Kingsbury, or anyone similar. It also doesn't necessarily mean that others wouldn't be a better fit. I don't think Freeze is the longterm solution anywhere. I could be wrong but I would assume that he wants to be a head coach again and will probably jump at his first decent offer. I don't think that longterm it would benefit UT or its players to be going through another coordinator search a year or two from now. UT needs success and stability

So, I'm not gonna date the most beautiful girl in the world because she might not love me forever?

Enjoy the experience while you can and move on to the next best thing

You have to take a chance sometimes

I agree with your logic...…..but, it sure would be a quick fix for BVS (battered Vol syndrome)

Well he can't go to Auburn as Chip has a retention bonus that hits on Saturday and Auburn has told Gus he can't hire a new OC for more money than Chip was making. That means we can outbid Freeze. I'm sure he isn't hurting for money, but if we can pay him same as Helton, that's almost a half million more than Auburn/Lindsey and Freeze would pretty much be free to run the offense. We need to lock this hire in quickly because Locksley and the Maryland job is holding up any moves Bama can make.
