Recognize it or not, Chadwell is a proven winner and has a QB coming with him (should he take a job elsewhere). Won everywhere he has been and has a stable coaching staff. Is he a stretch? Of course he is......but youre not getting a big time D1 coach proven winner, desired by the known world, to come take this job at this time given the surrounding mess and mismanagement of the program. I'd give Chad a chance. It will take 3 years to get back up to par with legit SEC caliber players after all the transfers out of here. But I think none of us trust the powers that be to get this even close to right.Why in the world would a one year wonder with a offense that none of our players are recruited to play in, even be on our potential hiring list. He has not been at a major college and never hired a power 5 coaching staff. My guess is he’s not on any list for a position that is not yet open.
Im a life long Vol fan who grew up 60 miles from UTK, whose entire family attended and graduated from UTK. Been following every game, every move this program has made for 5 decades. I've earned the right to post a comment. Don't care how much crap one gets from the idiots that chose to snipe. Im on here for information and to offer my opinion. Feel the need to take shots? I dont give a rats a@@.Just so I'm clear, are you his sports agent or real estate agent? Asking for my real estate friend.
No he's not. This kid is a freshman and oh by the way, he recruited him and coached him up!Chadwell seems to be riding the coattails of a great QB. Same thing happened with Scott Frost. I’d like to see Chadwell do it with another QB. If he can produce with a different QB like we’ve seen people like Mullen and Freeze do then it could be a great hire... not sold yet tho.

Hire Chadwell and Tennessee will be looking for a new head coach in December 2023.Recognize it or not, Chadwell is a proven winner and has a QB coming with him (should he take a job elsewhere).

Basketball is entirely different than football. Mid-majors in basketball are a lot closer to power 5 competitiveness as opposed to football where the gap is way bigger. Butch Jones also won some conference titles before coming here and look how that turned out. I get it, he needs a chance for people to really judge if Chadwell is legit. However, we are at a point in our program where we can't afford to take another chance and hope for the best.I know that it isn't an apples to apples comparison, but to me Chadwell is like Bruce Pearl was before UT hired him. He had success at smaller schools, and they took a flier on him based upon potential. Chadwell has won three conference titles at his prior stops, and has shown the ability to build a program into a winner. Can he do it in the SEC? No one will know until it happens, but he took a team picked to finish last in their conference and severely over achieved.

I think either I replied to the wrong person or you replied to the wrong person.

Nope been there done that, we are not a training ground for up and coming coaches that never make it in the power five. We need a seasoned coach with SEC expierence. Yes they will come, money rules the decision, if we are not cheap we can get whatever coach we want.
