Do you have any idea how excited I was when it was rumored we were about to land Leach?... after Butch 5-Star-Hearts Jones... was going to be SO refreshing... and our offense would have been putting up points and getting the ball to the way above par athletes that have been surrounding our QBs for years...It wasn’t just Fulmer that didn’t want leach.
Meyer is going to USC. If he comes back.Meyer, Stoops, the "other" Gruden, Art Briles. Any of those 4 are light years better than what we have. There are others.
Just curious, is the "no thanks" on Briles about the past? Because the man sure knows how to coach.
Not saying I want him, but the outright rejection of a man who has had Baylor, of all places, in the playoff discussion is curious.

I still have no clue why people were so up in arms about hiring a coach that mostly without discernible talent has had both Texas Tech and Washington State in the top 10... both programs were bottom-feeder garbage before he got there... give the dude a good DC for the first time in his career and it could have been golden
I'm not part of the Fahr Pruitt crowd... don't get me wrong... but Leach would have been an exciting A+ hire and Currie was a phone call away from landing him
... Oh well... let Pruitt continue to "build the roster", but this staff is not getting the most out of the roster talent we have... hope it doesn't take 3 more years to come to fruition

Stoops is employed last time I checked.
Gruden may be your best shot, he's at least free
Art Briles? Lol
Johnny Majors is free last I checked.
Great post. I like Pruitt and hope he succeeds, but was stoked to see Leach’s name on the tireless google refreshes that night. He’s an offensive genius and would’ve done great in the SEC especially with an A rated defensive coordinator.Do you have any idea how excited I was when it was rumored we were about to land Leach?... after Butch 5-Star-Hearts Jones... was going to be SO refreshing... and our offense would have been putting up points and getting the ball to the way above par athletes that have been surrounding our QBs for years...

Go back at him with that pitch?Heard tonight this guy was playing a rush end on obvious passing plays. Imagine having this guy get after the QB. Opposing QB’s might not have 3 minutes to find an open receiver.
He should think about this. Pass rushing defensive ends make more money in the NFL than receiving Jimmy Graham type tight ends.
Winning in Big10 sitting on the throne is much easier than winning in the SEC, Meyer coached six seasons in the SEC. His first and last were two of the worst, 9-3 and 8-5 with an 9-4 squeezed in between.Meyer: yea, lets put money we don’t have in a man who covered up abuse and then lied about it. Oh, then there’s the whole quitting thing.
Stoops: Bob? He’s retired and reportedly has “zero interest in coaching” Mark? Yes, he turned around UK that’s good but even in his best year in football he couldn’t get his guys up to beat Tennessee. How am I suppose to believe he can do it 3 times a year yearly.
Gruden: you think the media laughs at us now hire the other Gruden and pop some popcorn.
Art: He knows football I guess. He did some things at Baylor. I encourage you to read the thread on the Baylor scandal. Read every page, link, and excerpt and come back and see if you can still say “yes, that’s the person I want as the face of Tennessee football”
