There are a lot of sour grapes about Freeze winning in here lol. I think either coach would be really good for UT. Along with Napier... if UT decides they want to win and go that route.

Gruden fans were a lot worse. Freeze is a possibility, Jon never was.

I’ll give you that. It’s not that I don’t think Freeze can’t coach and might not be a decent hire. I just don’t get how he became coaching Jesus after leaving a complete mess at Ole Miss.

He also has won 10 games at four different places now. Regardless of his transgressions, dude can flat out coach at a high level. That’s if you want to look at it subjectively without emotional biases influencing a decision.

Hugh with ties to Tennessee from his years coaching high school ball.

Napier is from Tennessee.

Chadwell is from Tennessee.

Malzahn sitting there unemployed.

It feels like we have actual, viable, realistic, solid options. I don't think we will make a change, but the stars seem aligned for us to make a change and we're just going to sit here on our hands.

Because the guy can coach.

He’d come here if he was offered the job.

Sour grapes?? 🤣 No, it’s called being realistic and not pinning any hopes on one guy, Freeze, to put out the fire consuming UT football. But the Freeze fandom and fawning over this guy is as bad as, if not worse, than the Grudenites swarming all over this forum 3 years ago. Funny and sad at same time. 😩😆

I don’t think it’s an emotional bias to wonder if he’s another Bruce Pearl. He clearly can coach. It’s just a matter of whether you’re comfortable that he won’t go back to bad habits.

Complete bonehead call by Hugh in the bowl game vs. Coastal Carolina. Tried not to score and run more clock and it got him a fumble instead. Although Liberty won in OT that was just an awful call by Hugh and I would never hope to see him in Orange and White.

Put the blame squarely where it belongs.

Coach Phil Fulmer extended Pruitt's contract and put us in a no-win situation to buy him out. Should he be gone? Of course. Can we afford to do it coming off an awful year economically? Unlikely.

It's not sitting on our hands. It's having Phil Fulmer tie them up.

Auburn gambled and it has worked out pretty well so far...

This is the perfect time to make a change. And it should not be a Fulmer decision at this point. Go for Freeze or one of the other top 3.

JUST DO IT.

G.B.O.
