I was one of the ones saying to hire Kiffin. Fulmer doesn’t like him, so he is out anyways. But if we just gonna hire another mediocre guy, we might as well ride this out. Pruitt does know talent, and does recruit pretty good. He just needs to be HC, get a real Offensive guy and let him handle the offense and Ansley can handle the D.
He posts winning seasons, something Tennessee can do only every few years now. His overall record is 52-22 which puts him at a .70 winning clip. So exactly how is your statement even remotely correct?
His floor is 7 wins and his ceiling is 10. I’ll take that after the past few coaches we have had. He’s 4-0 in bowls. He smoked Georgia regardless of the excuse let’s be real, Tennessee can’t beat a sleep walking Georgia right now.Why would we hire Herman? If you can’t win at Texas you won’t win at Tennessee.
He posts winning seasons at Texas? Well let’s sign him up!!!! There’s a reason he’s on the hot seat. If he can’t compete for championships in the B12, what makes you think that he’ll be able to do so at Tennessee?He posts winning seasons, something Tennessee can do only every few years now.

His floor is 7 wins, in the B12. Texas is arguably the best job in the country. He’s 31-18 in his four seasons there. Let’s not act like he’s lighting it up. Again, there’s a reason he’s on the hot seat.His floor is 7 wins and his ceiling is 10. I’ll take that after the past few coaches we have had. He’s 4-0 in bowls.

He’s on the hot seat to upgrade to Urban... it’s not like he’s getting replaced by Jamie chadwell. If you would turn your nose at Tom Herman then thank god you aren’t an AD.His floor is 7 wins, in the B12. Texas is arguably the best job in the country. He’s 31-18 in his four seasons there.

And why did he leave Ole Miss? Asking for a friend...Freeze would have to be the #1 option. He has proven he can beat Bama and done so multiple times. Those other coaches are good coaches but no experience beating the caliber of teams like Freeze had to when he was beating SEC teams and had ole miss #1 at one point. He had a great offense snd great defense. Remember the land sharks.
Freeze is my number 1 fwiw. I would put Herman number 2. He at least beats SCAR, Vandy, Kentucky, and Missouri year in and year out and has shown he can beat Georgia. You could absolutely do worse.He posts winning seasons at Texas? Well let’s sign him up!!!! There’s a reason he’s on the hot seat.

He sure as **** pulled Texas out of the pit that Charlie strong put them in. Tennessee isn’t remotely close to Texas right now and advocating against a coach who could actually put the ship back on course and make Tennessee a competitive university again is stupid. Yes, you probably have to hire a new coach that’s a championship coach but that’s easier when you’re separating from a perennial 9 win team and coach opposed to trying to hire one after Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt have destroyed it.How am I being a clown? By advocating against hiring a guy who can’t compete for championships at arguably the best job in the country?
How do you know that he beats SC, Mizzou, Vandy, and Ky year in and year out? The same Tom Herman who is 1-3 vs TCU? The same Tom Herman who is 2-2 against both Iowa St and Oklahoma St?Freeze is my number 1 fwiw. I would put Herman number 2.

Iowa st and Oklahoma St are better than those teams. Matt Campbell and the Mullet man as well as Gary Patterson are far superior coaches than Muschamp and whoever Vandy hires. Eli at Missouri I think could be a damn good coach but he’s limited at that university.How do you know that he beats SC, Mizzou, Vandy, and Ky year in and year out?

You’re just arguing a conference bias with little to no context. That’s your prerogative and cool. You’re going to be hard pressed to get anyone to agree with you that Tom Herman wouldn’t be a hell of a hire if it were possible. It’s Sunday so I have to hope Titans don’t fall on their face against the browns. Have a good one man and stay safe!How do you know that he beats SC, Mizzou, Vandy, and Ky year in and year out?

Tennessee has got to stop with the cheaper hires. You pay freeze or potentially Herman 6-7 mil to come here. Bargain bin hires won’t cut it because the fans aren’t going to give 5 years to a coach.
Herman was an improvement over Charlie Strong. He beat Georgia which we can’t do, and talking about idiotic... imagine having a glorified Manny Ramirez wannabe who went from the Red Sox to the dodgers as your avi.Excuse me, Herman?!?!?! LOL. The guy who has had Texas “back” like 4 different times but really they’re nowhere close to being back. Our fanbase is idiotic.
No. Give me just about anyone else.
