he's not wrong. it's not ideal. it is nothing to get excited about. but it's not wrong either.

it's just situational awareness.

we're not gonna get any big names. we won't even attempt with kiffin or freeze and Napier isn't coming here.
this search, still assuming there is one which it seems likely at this point, starts with guys like marrone and malzahn...throw fisher or steele in there too if you want.

if we hire chadwell, i'm gonna say we "wind up" with him...i can't see that being the top of the list.

this program needs stability and calm and leadership.....the last 8 years have been a debacle in those things big time. so if nothing else guys marrone, malzahn or whoever you want to name from that ilk, at least gives you some confidence that there IS a direction (whether you agree with that direction or not, at least there IS one....), and they've at least been in charge of programs at high levels and won't shrink when something bad happens....cause, it probably will.

and the reality is, it doesn't matter what we do....there will be no fan consensus.....so they're going to have to manage that too.

bottom line, it's not gonna be a quick fix, and there's still several TBD's out there regarding what this roster ultimately looks like for the next year or two, so i don't see how anyone can put any expectations on what should happen by year 2 or 3 at this point.

anyway. we may just be, again, in the wonderful world of "you don't have a choice".

You say stability? Then Marrone isn’t the answer. He will jump ship at first NFL opportunity. Malzhan wants a break.

Ansley has been looking for a way out. Pruitt wants to hire another defensive coach. So there's a path to make a hire with several scenarios for how it plays out. A lot of people would like to see Steele back at UT, and the role could be fluid.

If Pruitt is allowed to hire Steele, he's probably gonna keep his job in 2021

if there is a marrone/steele combo, i could definitely see Chaney staying on. gives you some continuity for the roster, he's still a well respected play caller....can run whatever marrone would want, and marrone would probabl just let him run it.

i'd like to think Tee and Jay would be back or considered or whatever...but who knows.

on defense...probably gets a little dicey, but i like the idea a whole lot of Garner coming. maybe they keep felton?

i mean, there's a path there if that's the direction they want to go.....just hope we get there sooner than later at this point.

We better be bitching to NO end if we hire Steele.

I can see Fulmer being petty as hell, because he didnt want to fire Pruitt, so he goes and hires someone else he can control, and is buddies with.

Surely we wouldn’t hire him as a HC. As an Asst or DC I’d take him all day

With names like Marone, Steele. What could possibly go wrong? Tn trying to see how cheap they can go and try to convince the base that they hit a homerun and expect Saban results. Tn is the laughing stock of college football.

If Fulmer inserts Kevin Steele as HC people bitching will be the least of Fulmers worries
