i can see an Analyst roll, but to put the "QB Coach" label on him is a spit in the face to Halsley

I agree. Would love to see him around the program in a ceremonial type of role…..a “come to me for advice when you want it but I am not pulling any strings” kind of role

This is just my opinion. This would be an interesting landing spot for Chadwell. Duke is a small P5 program where he could build a program and compete against a P5 schedule before moving on to a big-time program. If I am an AD at a major P5 program, I have some concerns about Chadwell because he has no experience as an assistant at a P5 program; his recruiting is unknown (Coastal recruiting rankings landed outside top 100 in 2019, 2020, and ranked 79 in 2021) and has not put many guys into the NFL. He has eventually won everywhere he's been at except Delta State (one season), but he's also been given time and patience.

He made it 14 seasons in one of the worst Power 5 jobs there is. That deserves some respect.

Also won more at ole miss than any coach in recent history prior to kiffin. Took lsu having a national championship year under saban to block ole miss from playing in Atlanta. Cutcliffe was so special for us in the 90s and again in 06-07 and hopefully will come back to Knoxville to be involved with UT in whatever way he wants

If Tennessee is remotely serious about the Arch Manning sweepstakes or pulling in high-end quarterback talent, they to offer him top dollar to be QB coach or an offensive analyst of some sort.

Ain't happening. You got a QB Guru in Hype, and Cut is done, He looks worn out. Health is not good.

Might work but my feeling is that Cutt wouldn’t have retired unless he was really ready to walk away from the game. But who knows? Never hurts to ask

Why are people talking about Arch Manning? He doesn't and will never fit in Heupels offense. Cutcliffe was a great OC for Fulmer and helped win a NC for TN, but that was a long time ago and now it's time for him to retire.

So happy for Cutt that he gets to leave the game on his terms. Not many coaches actually retire these days. Fired is the usual door out. Cutcliffe was one of a kind. A true legend. And IMO, the real architect of UTs great run in the 1990’s. Hope he gets to enjoy his long earned retirement

The Manning family loves Cutcliffe, and all of those programs have built-in advantages that Tennessee does not. There's no guarantee that hiring Cutcliffe gets Arch to Knoxville, but it surely puts Tennessee in the mix to a far greater extent than they are presently (which is, to say, not at all) not to mention the years of experience he'd add to the fray in general.

Cutcliff's offensive philosophy and CJH's philosophy are oil and water. So, you would chase off CJH to hire Cutcliff for a long shot chance of getting a good, but yet to be proven collegiate quarterback?

I predict Mullen’s next stop will be the Saban School of Coach Rehabilitation. Nick just hasn’t had a good car wash since Butch left 😉

I heard Butch has opened a remote campus for Nick over at Arky State since he has done so well there. Off topic, has Arky State had to fire a coach in the last 20 years?

Arch ain't coming here. Might as well swallow that. And we will be okay.

All this talk about Arch Manning. Beyond his pedigree, what do Vols fans know? Really? Is he a pro style QB, dual threat, is he a fit for the Heupel offense? What do fans know beyond his name and membership in Vol-god Peyton's family?

... and even the pedigree is indirect. He isn't the son of a former pro athlete. Cooper was recruited to Ole Miss as a WR by Billy Brewer, because Brewer assumed that would lockdown Peyton for the Rebels. Cooper was forced to give up football early into his career due to a congenital issue concerning the narrowing of his spine... so that gave other teams a chance to recruit Peyton. I'm sure Arch Manning will have a nice college career, but I've read articles touting him as being "the best prospect of all the Mannings" which are pure hype.

Wonder where his retirement home is? Would love for him to settle in Tennessee

He and his family love East Tennessee and the Knoxville area. The plan was always to retire in the area. I don’t know how much things have changed, but he has a great house around Figure 8 Island and grandkids nearby.
