I'm pretty sure he is better than what we currently have coaching. Why not? Might be the next future Nick Saban or pre-heart attack Urban Meyer. Both these guys started their head coaching careers at small schools.

If our admin was competent/demonstrated an ability through previous hires to identify a good up and coming coach, and they were interested in Chadwell, then I'd trust them to make that hire.

To put it mildly, our admin hasn't indicated any ability to do that. I really, really don't think we should go that route this time. Hire a proven P5 coach or bust. No coaching hire is certain, but take some of the guesswork out of it by hiring a guy that has already proven he can win at a high level of college football. Gus is probably the most realistic option. I question if he even wants to keep coaching (he might just want to sit back and count his money), but you never know until you ask.

Why? So we can run the triple option? He's had one good year. Sounds just like..... Butch Jones.

Dude he's had multiple good years.
Butch jones never won 10 games.
He had two 9 win seasons...
So on both accounts you are WRONG.

If you're going to make a statement, TRY to use facts.

McCall is a finalist for the Manning Award and threw for over 2000 yards with a 21:2 td:int ratio. Some of those fakes he was pulling running the ball against Liberty were insanely good.

Plays like Dobbs with less speed.

I would take that in a heartbeat right now.

Maybe breakaway speed he isfaster but that initial 10 yards is quicker for McCall.

Never hire a coach for UT who has never been a HC!!!! See Pruitt - and S Beamer

Lots of highly successful coaches in power 5 jobs started their career as a first time HC at a power 5 program. Dabo says hi. So does Mullen, and Day, and Fisher, and Riley, and Smart...…..see the pattern here? 8 of the current top 10 programs are led by a HC who took his first HC gig at a power 5 program. Based upon your criteria, none of those guys was qualified to coach UT.

Disagree. Freeze would as well. And he is super realistic.

The issue is. Only way UT is going to sever ties to JP at this time is if investigation extremely lowers that buyout with a with cause firing. If you terminate a coach for NCAA issues I don't think you can bring in a coach that has NCAA issues track record. I don't have a problem with Freeze but if a change is made I don't see that being "realistic" as you said.

There's a BIG difference between, say, Pruitt and someone like Chadwell. Pruitt had never been anything but an assistant. The young head coaches like Chadwell and Napier both have head coaching experience. And both have experience turning around bad teams and making them good. Yes, it's an experiment from the standpoint they aren't Power 5 coaches but they have head coaching experience and have proven on their level they can get the job done.

When we hired Precious (Dooley) he wasn't even a good head coach at Louisiana Tech. Jones would come in behind Brian Kelly's rebuilt teams and kind of ride his wave to the next job. I knew that Jones was a disaster the second we hired him. I have a good friend that lives in Cinci and I followed them for moral support. That program was going downhill fast with the little trumpet blower with the Napoleon complex on the sidelines. He was just smart enough to know when to try to flee one job and move to the next because even he knew he was full of crap.

But anyway - there will be a narrative pushed that we can't go for the "bargain bin" coaches. That's not true. Just DON'T go for a coach that hasn't been a head coach. Go for someone that has head coaching experience that shows they can make bad teams good and elevate the team with their coaching acumen. That's why Matt Campbell is my number one choice and it's not even close. Then I'd go Fickell, Chadwell, Freeze, Sitake, Napier, and Holliday as the fallback option. Every last one of them have turned bad teams around and have proven track records as head coaches.

It's a crapshoot no matter who is hired. Doug Dickey was an assistant at Arkansas, no head coaching experience, when Tennessee hired him. Robert Neyland(some on here have heard of him) had never had any head coaching experience when he was made head coach at Tennessee. Phil Fulmer had never been a head coach when he became head coach at Tennessee. None of the three had been head coaches previously. Two of the three were not native Tennesseans and did not play football at Tennessee.

I feel like everything was set up for Fulmer to succeed here. Think if he stepped into our current situation, he wouldn't be able to turn it around.

Everyone loves to bring up how Freeze had to vacate wins and his NCAA issues, but seem to develop amnesia when it comes to Chadwell. Had to vacate 18 wins and gave up a championship.

No thanks I'll pass.

If he couldn't keep this kind of stuff under wraps at Charleston Southern, there is no way he can do it under a brighter spotlight at a school like UT.

The problem is......we cannot be guilty of rolling the dice with a totally unproven never been HC candidate. You did that once with Pruitt....cannot do that twice consecutively. That is why I would strongly consider Chadwell.......he has been a HC for around 10 years and has a track record of success everywhere he has been. No NCAA stink on him either....just his former compliance officer.

I think an important thing that people miss is, it wasn't just the football program. It was the NCAA came down on Charleston Southern sports, including football, meaning there were other sports that got hit as well ... at least that's my take.

My understanding is that there is no lingering issues. NCAA always throws in Institutional Control when they can, in my opinion.

5-7 his first year at CCU, 2-6 in conference. Yeah, you're right. He set the freaking world on fire. Show me where I said Butch's record at Tennessee? I didn't. He's had two 10 plus win seasons in his career. You wanna be a dumb a#@, do it on your own time.

One good year? You need to look at his body of work. He's improved every program he has worked. Just sayin.....he is worth a look

That including his vacated wins? Sorry, but improving East Jesus State doesn't impress me. He's not first on my list, I don't care that he grew up in East TN.

His triple option QB threw for 300+ yards against the last team they played. Maybe do some research before posting:

I've done my research. 5-7 and 2-6 in 2019. You want another gomer to come in here and post up those numbers? Not me. I mean, if beating Kansas gets you fired up, jump on his bandwagon. He's already had to vacate wins, he's not the saint and savior everyone on here claims he is. I'll pass.
