We made the right hire. I’m no less confident of it today than I was when the hire was made.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

When you have a down program, the smart move is to hire a guy who successfully rebuilt one or more other program as a head coach. Last time Vols did that was Majors and it worked out pretty well.

 

[GroverCleveland]

I thought one positive is the team did not quit. And that is on the coaching.

In year 5

When will people understand that nobody wanted this job‽ The chances of failure were far greater than succeeding, but the current staff is not a failure as of yet. Majors would have been fired within 5 years in today's coaching climate with our current fan base.

This coach the rest doesn’t matter

I personally think we missed out on Sarkisian. He had a great offense last year.

( Do not know how to use blue font.)

Did you see Sark last night against Arkansas? I'll keep Heupel.

 

[De La Cloobs]

Um, Sarkisian just got waxed by Arkansas.

WAXED.

Sark is a good coach , but I don't think he's better than what we have. It will be interesting to see how he gets their players to respond after getting embarrassed by Arkansas.

edit: yeh what they ^ said

I hate to contribute to these kinds of conversations but, I watching Miss St dominate a middling ACC school at home right after we lost to one, made me think a little. He wasn’t a home run hire, but he also wouldn’t have been a failure.

He wouldn’t have turned down Texas to come here. I like who we got anyway

That's between him and Mrs. Sarkisian.

How many years would Coach Majors get in today's coaching world?

Years? More like games, nowadays. Maybe 10.

Several reliable sources said that Freeze wanted it

Texas was on the road against a much improved Razorback team. Totally different situation. Texas will win multiple games more than Tennessee

If he had just won a natty, at least 5 at his alma mater

 

[LWSVOL]

they hired the default hire. Why would coaches want to come here to rebuild something that has been broke 13 years going on 14? There have been 5 coaches hired since Fulmer was fired and they have probably been turned down or gotten not interested in discussing from 7 times that many.

Kinda hard to maintain a moral high ground to justify firing the Gump then hire a guy like Freeze

yeah at Bama - even Beldar was considered a great coach at Bama

 

[VolBricks]

we should have thrown $15 million per year at Saban. We would come out money ahead.

Moral high ground? This is college football. No one cares as long as you are winning. Not saying it SHOULD be that way, but it is.

And to think they were set to hire Schiano
