Honest question. What has Fisher proved he can do that Larry Fedora can't?

I don't get the Fisher love...at all.

I'm with you on Fisher...he's in the best recruiting grounds in the country, Golden too...they should be kicking A$$ and taking names in the ACC.

My beef with Fedora is the offensive philosophy, just not my thing.

Are you really saying that coaching at Temple and Michigan St. are even in the same conversation?? Come one man, quit while you are ahead.

Same conversation for what?

Golden took the worst FBS program in the country, and in year four had nine wins in the regular season.

Why? Fedora runs the same thing as Sumlin at TAMU.

So, the NBC sports report of Hart and Gruden meeting is that on or off? If it's on, is tonight? Or.........

Doesn't he run the spread?

Well, I'm not expecting anything Friday regardless if Hart was throwing the media off the scent or not. Doubt he would go to that trouble if he was going to turn right around and announce within 48 hours.

A year removed as head coach....that record in a lot of ways is reflective of him. Definitely not appealing IMO.

You can certainly look at it that way but IMO it shows he overachieved the year before for the talent he had. Admittedly I have no knowledge of their talent in that program

He is a defensive minded coach that we certainly need

I love his physical style he plays. It's what wins in the SEC

He is a proven elite recruiter

He has proven he is winner as a HC

He is young which I think is important with this hire

I will give you the first three. The conference he is in is terrible and he has lost two in a row to teams i believe he should have beaten. He had 3 or 4 other games that were really close to inferior teams. While he is not old, at 52 i wouldnt say he is young either.

Yes, he does.

Love this quote:

"Fedora summed up his philosophy with a quote from George S. Patton--"Instead of waiting to see what might develop, attack constantly, vigorously and viciously. Never let up, never stop, always attack."

Whether fair or not, it's the "idea" of paying those two guys $6-7M.

I can make a case for Gruden at that price. It's hard (despite their incredible success) to defend that price for Patterson/Petersen.

Not to me, although I understand it would be for some.

If it comes to it...

Strong
Mora
Fedora

(gulp)

I like the video from halftime speech of bowl game "lets break it off in them"

We've seen three completely different versions of the spread in the SEC, and they have all been highly successful.

Florida with Meyer

Auburn with Malzahn

Texas A&M with Sumlin

Get the right QB (that's for any offense anyways) and you'll do well.

That's what brings me back to gruden along with what the OG's have said earlier is that before Gruden is announced things will get crazy and the names will be crazier. We're willing to pay Gruden, but after that we are hearing golden and Fendora??WTF!! What a utter embarrasment that would be be take a coach that is struggling to when at the U and coached temple before that?? So what he had a few good years there, that is what TENNESSEE is going to gauge a new coach by?? Don't buy don't believe it, if it's not Gruden they better get a good one not a up and comer or somebody that has been playin in the little leagues. If they do that they had better hope he wins in the first year or the revenue and the empty seats will be the fans message back at UT!! I love UT have went to games for over 25 years every year but TENNESSEE can do better than hiring coaches from little conferences that have never proven anything at this level. GO VOLS GET GRUDEN!! GET IT DONE!!:rock:

So has this thread officially died to the Gruden dream??

I'll put it plainly:

Nobody knows what the **** is going on. Insiders don't, media don't, etc. Dave Hart has put UT on lock.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
