I understand that but this is a strange turn of events IMO. That's all I'm saying. :hi:

Oh I certainly agree. None of this has added up from the start with every media figure/outlet in both Knoxville and nationally (Lowe at ESPN) contradicting themselves on the search on an almost daily basis.

Everything has either gone horribly wrong or Hart is a genius. Guess we will find out soon enough.

Rare interesting thought from Clay Travis is that the boosters and Hart are at odds about Gruden, hence the conflicting "leaks" everywhere.

If that's true, how much power do boosters have to make an AD miserable?

Jmoore, any names you would like to see considered for OC if Strong was hired?

No not really, all I know is I want Tennessee to stay away from the Spread offense & throwing it around 60-70 of the time.

To consistently win the SEC you HAVE to run the football, control clock, & play great defense. Thats why I'm against Gundy & Fedora. Give me a power, physical, disciplined football team. It starts w/ building a big time defense (ex LSU, Alabama, UGA, UF), then get a solid/good OL w/ a power RB & run it down teams throats.

More from Carlos...

Carlos, the guy that sent you the text. Would he know anything?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He texted me about it...never had real convo about OU before...just dont see why he would play around with it if there wasnt something going on.... I am still reserved about it...

Even more Carlos...

Carlos, is the person who texted you someone who you trust or someone that is just pulling your leg?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The person who sent me the text is someone I can trust...now do I think they made it up...no...do I think something is going on...IDK....they wouldnt have a reason to share that with me....unless there may be a Tennessee twist to it.

The person did mention that by coaching in the SEC you could still lose a game and make it to NC game...and maybe some issues with OU boosters etc..they didnt elaborate on anything else...

If Fedora got a solid D-coordinator, he'd be a good hire.

I guess I wouldnt mind an offense like Chip Kelly's or Gus Malzahn's that is built on on the run and playaction passing, but ultimately I agree. We need to run the ball, play defense, and win the battle at the line of scrimmage. The Air Raid and offense that pass all the time isn't going to work here.

I was just curious if you had any ideas on who a good OC might be.

Hard not to agree with this, and I'm not advocating for the Louisville OC, but to go along with Strong's D last night they led 42 and change to 17 and change in TOP. I'm going Stoops, Strong as my top two.

I agree. I'd love to see a defensive head coach here for the first time in ages. Who are GOOD OC candidates out there if we get a defensive coach?

JAT but I could see Strong giving B White(UF RBC) another call if he lands at UT. Former OC and has strong connects in Ga, NC and Cali.

Something I found interesting, in terms of playcalling Fedora's offense is almost exactly 50-50 run pass. This year, UNC ran the ball 445 times and passed 452. That is including sacks as part of the passing game, not the running game.

He looks like he has a pretty solid background. I believe this is his first year with Pease so not sure what scheme he would run, but I really like Florida's offensive scheme right now.

the only comparable one you have imo is mack brown at tulane - he was in a similar spot - the rest were in spots where the program was down and they were in a good conference so it takes longer to build - and i would also argue that mack brown is a very overrated coach

EDIT... also 7-3-1 at duke in the ACC, 8-5 in the big 12 and 6-6 in the big 10 are much better than 7-6 (6-6 regular season) in a terrible big east (that is comparing the 2nd years again)

yall must not remember how bad the acc was while spurrier was there.

When FSU joined it was the reason kids even started wanted to play ball in that conference.

tthe acc of spurrier's era was just as bad as the big east of this era. still quite an accomplishment for the OBC

Aight let's be real ok if we can't get the big dogs which we could hart is just being a diuche? Strong has got to be the guy! At least we would have a good defense . Not that I want him I honestly want David shaw....but Idk just can't believe that we are letting this just slip through our hands :no:

Evan Woodberry reporting that Bob Lamonte saying Gruden to Tennessee was essentially the fabrication of a "fantasy world." Well, as Vols fans, we can always have our dreams, can't we? Not much else to latch on to here lately.

Golden has seemingly said he's staying in Miami, but he has never directly said he will not leave Miami. As for Fedora, he's quietly gotten a strong push as the week has unfolded.

In fact, an ACC coach told us late Thursday night "We hope he leaves; that guy's the real deal."
