That would be cool if someone could pull that off. He did leave the office early yesterday i believe, but im fairly positive no UT plane went to florida. The tail numbers are blocked on UT planes and cant be tracked anymore, same with pilot planes.
 
Honestly when was the last time a coach openly admitted to potentially leaving their current multimillion$ job for a new position before it is a done deal.. Umm never. I fully understand that there are multiple good options to lead UT, but hope is not lost for Chucky.
 
I do not understand why we would wait until the 15th. I am hoping that we have a coach by at least the weekend of the first week of December. That way we could gain momentum in recruiting.

Apparently Larry is saying it happened last night and this is the first positive thing hes said about Gruden.
 
Skeeter can you shed a little more light on other candidates?

Not hearing a lot really. Was said Hart would contact UCLA about seeking permission to speak with Mora, that was suppose to take place on nov 25th, if true im sure Hart would not contact Mora until after his game this weekend. Also hearing he may speak with Cinci coach Jones. Fedora is someone he is interested in. Before Dooley was fired all we heard was Smart, not hearing much about him now. Hart doesnt say a lot, hard to get a read on.
 
Wait!

You said he was there now admit you have heard it happened?

Smoke and mirrors! :whistling:

The only people we've heard say anything about it are boosters. Some of those same boosters were saying Shannon would be our dc last year too. Nothing out of the ad about Gruden or any meeting.
 
Is Butch Jones a good recruiter? Brian Kelly has built both CMU and Cincinnati and then Jones has followed. I don't know how much of his success has been with his own players. Honestly, I wouldn't really be a big fan of that hire.

That means he's already found his guy and has no need to perform a search OR he's not very smart and doesn't value his job. I'm guessing option 1.

People really believe that the AD at UT would wait two weeks after the HC was fired to start a search? Yeaaaaaaaah right.

I cannot help but hear Fedora's name every time I read something about the coaching vacancy. I didn't really know anything about him. I looked him up and his assistant coaches and this is what I came up with if Fedora was to be named the new head coach at UT. Fedora has been in the SEC with UF as their Offensive Coord form 2002-2004. Then he has made stops at Ok St, Southern Miss, and now UNC.

Blake Anderson- Offensive Coord and QB Coach.
He has been with Fedora since 2008. He is a young, up and coming coach.

Dan Disch- Defensive Coord.
He was with Fedora at UF in 2004. He was the Defensive Coord and Secondary Coach at Southern Miss in 2011 and is now with Fedora at UNC.

Randy Jordan - Running backs Coach.
He is the current RB's coach at UNC. He has coached at Texas A&M and Nebraska also. He has no previous ties to Fedora which is good for CJG. I think Fedora will know whats at stake (North and Green) when he chooses his RB Coach. CJG has good ties in the Carolinas and is one of the better RB coaches in the South.

Gunter Brewer- Passing game Coord and WR's Coach.
He coached at Oklahoma St with Fedora from 2005-2010. He has been coaching receivers since the mid 80's. He recruited Dez Bryant while he was there and also Justin Blackmon (who was a 3 star and Brewer really helped with his development). Brewer already has an established relationship with Marquez North.

Walt Bell- Tight Ends Coach.
He was the WR's coach in 2011 at Southern Miss. Very young guy. He doesn't impress me that much. He also doesn't seem big on recruiting.

Chris Kapilovic- Offensive Line Coach.
He has been the O-Line coach under Fedora since 2008. This guy actually recruits fairly well. If Fedora was to be the guy, since Pittman was at UNC before, maybe he would give Pittman the nod. This seems like a tough battle for Pittman IMO.

Deke Adams- Defensive Line Coach.
He has been the D-Line coach under Fedora since 2009. Young solid coach. He recruits pretty well. He currently has Nazair Jones, Daejuan Drennon, and Greg Webb committed. These guys are all ranked in the top 25 at their position.

David Duggan- Special Teams Coord.
He was the LB coach at Southern Miss with Fedora from 2008-2011. There isn't much to find on this guy.

Vic Koenning- Associate Head Coach (Defense).
He was the Defensive Coord at Clemson from 2005-2008. He has no previous ties with Fedora.

I know Fedora isn't the fans choice but he led Southern Miss to a 12-2 record last year. They beat Virginia, UCF, they slaughtered Memphis, beat Houston, and won their bowl game. This year, they finished 0-12. And Ellis Johnson just got the boot.

Last year, UNC was 7-6 overall and 3-5 in the ACC. This year, they are 8-4 ad 5-3 in the ACC.

Butch Jones got out-coached by Derek Dooley head to head. You do the math. And that to me was Dooley's best looking win top to bottom. Was the only game we looked dominant at times versus a team.
