Have 2 tickets to this weekends games that I will unfortunately not be able to attend due to illness. If anyone has interest please let me know, want these to go. Looking for $30 per game total ($15 a ticket), please email me at brkelley199@gmail.com if interested. Thank you

I hope Roc goes and kills it at whatever destination he ends up. I just wish JH would've called and told him himself a few days after he was hired. The article (which obviously is only one side of the story) sounds bad that they didn't call the High School coach (or Roc) until they were trying...

I think if Fulmer would've still been in charge and allowed to make the hire I think Steele would be the HC. So whether this works out or not at least that didn't happen and we have a well regarded AD to run the program now. If he can clean things up behind the scenes, get us past this NCAA...

"Big name coming for DC, it's going to be different this hire with White here." Then news will break he's bringing Randy Shannon with him from UCF. "It's the best we could do, look at his resume. Great recruiter and now that he's got real talent to work with he's gonna be great." I hope I'm...

It's a Vandy level hire, and after the comments of "decade of the Vols" and all the rumors of big names being discussed it's a let down. Could we have done worse? Yes. Is it a hire that brings us closer to Florida and Georgia? No it brings us closer to Kentucky and Missouri

I think if they trot out a hire along the lines of JH (if it's not him I can't imagine it's going to be a while lot better), then the administration better be prepared for something that's not happened for the last few hires. The fan base is going to immediately be skeptical of the hire. Even...

Pros of JH:. He's not Steele, at least that's something

I guess we're really hoping to test the thought process of Tennessee recruits itself with this hire

If it's really him then I hope we've struck out on the top 20 choices. If he was in the top 5 from the start then that's a whole issue in itself

There's no way that it's him. Has shown no ability to elevate a program or build a culture. It would be like a pop up in foul possession on a bad pitch in a 3-0 count with the bases loaded and two outs.

Out of curiosity where do you think Marrone gets us? Would he get us 7-9 wins once he gets it going or do you think he could win the East? I'm not a big fan of him but I do agree he's got a higher floor than Chadwell or Steele, Chadwell is hiring a lottery ticket. He's got a big time ceiling...

Guess we can pack it up guys, the insider has spoken....

I'm not saying you're wrong, you're completely right (right now thinking of Tennessee football in general is a waste of brain resources so you're dead on there too). It's just the fleeting thought of hiring Freeze and becoming relevant is more pleasant than hiring a no name coach to do this...

It's an obvious choice in terms of a winning coach who wants to be here (reportedly). Is it realistic? No, we won't hire anyone who would be considered a risk in that regards. Appearances don't mean what they used to, if they did LSU wouldn't be employing Will Wade (and Auburn wouldn't have...
