Message board UK fans were dead-set on Petrino when the job came open. Then we hired Stoops and everyone seems elated. Then word came from one of our media members that something negative (and I assume, unexpected) was present in Petrino's background check. What that was, he didn't say...

Whoever the head coach is, I would be shocked if they didn't throw everything at Tee Martin to get him to Knoxville. Being an assistant for Lane Kiffin is shaky at best and does nothing to teach a young up and comer how to lead a program. I don't see Kiffin's coaching tree ever being too impressive.

As a Kentucky fan, I'm surprised Strong has emerged as UT's top target (allegedly). I think Strong is a good coach and will be able to recruit for Tennessee. However, I'm still shocked that he seems to be the top option for a program like UT. I definitely think he would embrace the passionate...

I believe you may have confused Butch Jones (current HC at Cincinnati) with Butch Davis.

Also, 6 years for $33 million seems a bit excessive for a coach currently unemployed, especially when a bidding war hasn't even begun. That would be $5.5 million per year, making him the highest paid coach in the country by more than $300,000 and increasing his previous pay at Arkansas by almost...

If this happens, I fear for Mitch Barnhart's life in Lexington. Mitch has supposedly made it very clear that he has no interest in Petrino after some intense pressure from fans, boosters, and board of trustees members. If Petrino is hired at UT and Mitch didn't even attempt to get him, the...

I'm just interjecting to say that it's dang impressive UT has never had an 8 loss season. You figure even the best programs have a season go completely to the crapper at some point in their existence. Now, a 5 or 6 loss season is absolutely terrible for UT standards, but even the most hard-core...

There's gonna be a whole lot of crappy on the field in Neyland next week. Let's just hope for an injury-free game to call it one terrible season and two abysmal coaching hires.

I see no way Dooley keeps his job after that loss. Hart would be crazy not to make a change at this point, especially since UK, Auburn, and Arkansas will all be looking for a new coach.

GREAT interception! Hope it turns the momentum to UT.

Billy Gillispie has psychological issues. Dooley seems like a great man who treats people with respect (something Billy Clyde doesn't even believe in). Two completely different men personality-wise. Results-wise, however, you may be correct. I wanted Dooley to succeed at UT; he's someone who...

Muschamp will be on a hotter seat come College Football Final time on Saturday than Dooley, IMO.

I'm thinking Neyland will be as electric as it's been in years for the Florida game in 2 weeks. I can see UT being 4-0 heading to Georgia in week 5. That'll be a big time match-up and possible Gameday site.

I see no reason why the Vols won't be a "surprise" team in the SEC this year. I won't be surprised, but much of the nation will. Y'all should be just fine without Da'Rick.
