LOL, like people hiring coaches around here have been smarter than anyone lately.

Who said anything about around here?
If we hire an up and coming DC that has inspirations to be a HC one day , and has offers, most likely CJH has been successful and the offers are coming from somewhere else. LOL

I want people who want to be here. Not looking to jump.

We need program builders.

That's the problem man. Nobody wants to be here with what we have going on plus the perception that it's difficult to pair with Heupel's offense. we're going to have to overpay to get someone to come.

LOL. He’s from Columbus, his wife is from Columbus. He understands the UT tradition, sees it as a great job, but that’s quite a leap of faith. Give it a break. It isn’t so cut and dry...the shallowness of your mindset is the problem with this board. Like you know him or something, LOL

He might actually be coming. That sounds like he’s saying all the right things so as not to burn bridges in Columbus, but is planning on coming. No one there could fault him for making such a business decision.

I agree. If he wanted to stay, and believes Days pitch, it’s easy to just do it with their salary bump. I think he knows it’s a good opportunity and is trying to end things in the right way.

I agree. I don’t want a guy who is always wondering how things are going in Columbus and having that entitled Buckeye baggage brought with him. I don’t want a guy who be feeling he’s doing everyone a favor by showing us how things were done at The Ohio State. I feel like that was Kiffin’s approach in 2009. He thought we were lucky to have him and not the other way around.

Honest question, do you think Saban wanted to be Alabama when he was in Miami? I don't remember the back story, I don't know if he was looking to get out or if he was bought by Bama.

You took my comment and apparently applied it to other topics lol. Your comment implied that people hiring coaches are inherently smarter. History at many many programs suggests otherwise.

I’ve noticed, over my many years, that in these type of go or don’t go situations that it it is a tug of war Between your head and your heart.
The head says to go to the new opportunity and take the bigger paycheck and new challenge.
The heart says to stay with the comfort of the status quo and with those friends you know.
The tiebreaker is usually what? What the wife wants.

Here’s to hoping she’s a gold digger.

Of course he didn't. That "don't want anyone who doesn't love Tennessee and likes other programs" nonsense is asinine. Coaches come to love programs they coach at, very few start off that way.

You didn’t ask me, but I remember hearing his wife talk about how the NFL didn’t feel like home and that they missed the college feel of things. Then again it could be that the Dolphins were a garbage organization for years.

If Josh Heupel runs the offense the way he wants to run the offense, we are going to be like 60th at best in TOP.

I know everyone wants to cut their wrist with the "We are Tennessee, woe is me" stuff. But that is going to be a tough sell for a young up and coming coach who wants to be a HC some day.

An outstanding defense for us next year is 25-40 in scoring defense. That isn't a great stepping stone for the next job.

Now, if we had a veteran DC already on staff who was a good recruiter, always coached good defenses in the SEC, and had no prospects for a HC job in the near future, that would be ideal. Unfortunately, that would be too perfect and we could never expect to find ourselves in that situation.

If you are a good coach and just look at the stat sheet for a DC, you aren’t a good coach. You have to take their situation into perspective and if you agree with the calls they make. Are the players getting better? Are they able to recruit? Will they mesh with what your game plan is?
