What’s happening, I’ll storm Neyland like the folks at the capitol last week if Kevin Steele is anywhere near this program. He’s actively tried to jockey for a HC gig while stabbing coaches in the back. He’s not who we need in Knoxville and I hope he isn’t even in this state. He’s a snake and more importantly he’s a trash coach.

In other words, he’ll fit right in.

I doubt Ty Simpson would come play in Chadwell type of offense

I agree. Just watched this breakdown of Chadwell's offense at Charleston-Southern & Coastal Carolina. Not sure how we convince a Simpson to come and hand the ball off and run play-action.
After rewatching their highlights against Louisiana, I actually could see Salter succeeding with his offense full disclosure.

Chadwell runs a run heavy, split backfield style built out of a variant of the triple-option at Coastal Carolina. I honestly don't see how Salter is sold on an offense that basically relies on the run with interspliced play-action.

Freeze or LANE.

Problem being we know the admin won't pursue either.

I don't get Tennessee AD.

Tennessee recruits good enough that we don't need to run an offense like Chadwell's.

The only thing Tennessee needs to do is hire a good coach. Butch showed that you can win at Tennessee. If butch was a little better of a game day coach, Tennessee would have had some really good seasons under him.

Dooley was a losing coach before coming to Tennessee. Lane was inexperienced. Pruitt had ZERO experience.

Butch is the ONLY winning head coach Tennessee has hired since PF left. Let that sink in.

Chadwell is the exact type of underwhelming hire UT would make. And the fact he just had a terrific season and was named COY makes him an easy sell to many fans, especially when you add in his TN roots. I just don't think he's ready. We need someone with more experience, and a winning record. But our admin is too stupid to pursue a coach like that. I can see Chadwell being hired, and a large portion of the fanbase jumping on the bus, just as they always jump on the bus, but in 2-3 years, we're going to be back in this same mess because Chadwell wasn't ready. We've seen what that gets us. I really and truly hope I'm wrong, but I don't feel I am. UT does a great job of making subpar candidates seem like "the answer", but they keep failing.

Chadwell is not in my top 3 but I'd be good with him. My biggest concerns is can he handle the scope of this job and can he recruit SEC talent. I do love his fire, his life long love of the VOLS, and his team was a lot fun to watch this year. I think he'd try harder than most other coaches, that we've discussed, to make UT relevant again. I just want a firing and a hiring to happen this week, preferably tomorrow.

We will just have SEC players running that offense. Could be damn exciting.

Chadwell has shown enough promise that I think he can be labeled as at least a solid coach. Plus he’s a Tennessee boy. Not my first choice but I’d be excited. We would at least play with some damn energy again

Chadwell has built the program where he is now. Lane didnt build a program. Dooley didnt build a program. Butch didnt build a program. Chadwells offense can have success at the big boy level. You just need a QB that can run it. The Spread Option and Triple option have similarities but there is a HUGE passing threat in the spread option. Keeps defenses honest. Salter and the new guy could run this system. Eric Grey would FLOURISH in it. would be very very fun to watch.

Just rewatched the highlights of the BYU game and had the exact same thought about Gray. I also think Jabari Small would thrive in it too

This is my concern. Can he handle the massive work load this job requires? Its a gigantic step up from where hes coached. If he hires the right support staff around him im sure he will do fine.
