I am not sure if this has been posted yet or not, sorry if it has been. In Sporting News Today, it says the Giles has narrowed his schools down to 3 Tennessee, Nebraska and South Carolina. He said TN was very much still in it because he is impresses by new coach Lane Kiffin. He has told...

Doesn't that sound like a coach that we all know and love? (Gruden) Posted via VolNation Mobile

What was Butch Davis' record in the NFL? What about Nick Saban's? Oh, how about Pete Carrol's? Exactly, all were equally unimpressive. Stop bringing that bullcrap up because coaching in the NFL is much different than college. I am not saying he is going to be a great coach at all, but...

I was watching 4 downs on ESPN yesterday evening, and he and Merk Mays were on it. He was asked which top team he thought would lose this weekend, and he said "Oklahoma because the Bedlam is always a tough game and Oklahoma state will win this game!". The next question was who he thought was...

I will have to agree, and I will have to admit I was wrong... WAYYY wrong. Brian Kelly installs discipline and acts passionate out there. He really gets his team fired up. Leach always seems to be in control, but he needs to yell at people when they screw up or get on to the refs. Kelly's...

1. Chris Peterson 2. Lane Kiffin 3. Mike Leach(w/ a. great DC) 4. Gary Patterson. 5. Greg Schiano However, I will be happy with others Posted via VolNation Mobile

Yeah :). And for the record, BK is not even one of my top 5 choices for coach (and that list doesn't include reaches like Davis, Cowher or Gruden). So, no I don't love Brian Kelly... Just stating the facts. Posted via VolNation Mobile

Here's proving you wrong. He is a very good recruiter: Recruiting classes prior to Kelly: 2005- 70th 2006- 70th 2007- 80th (he tried to slavage this one since he came in with 1 month left, but it was worse before he came at the end of the year. Kelly's recruiting classes: 2008- 51st...

I don't think they would hire a search company to hire a person inside the staff. That would be a HUGE waste of money. We are definately going outside this staff...:dance2::dance::ok:

1. He's not 16 2. I was just throwing a name out there, I don't even want him... I would prefer Leach or Kiffin Posted via VolNation Mobile

I beg to differ. He has impressed every coach he has come into contact with. If they bought him in and he blows them away in the interview, he could very well be the next HC. I think it just about as likely that Gruden or Cowher will be the next HC as KS. Plus, Lane Kiffin is only 33... Just...

I am not sure anyone knows who the new HC is going to be. I think we are sill in the stages of first round interviews, and soon we will enter the 2nd round. I have no sources, it is just my personal opinion. As for we need to have a new coach by such and such date. No we don't! Notre Dame...

From The Tennessean: Tennessee is putting most of its eggs -- not to mention $3 million-plus a year -- into Butch Davis' basket. It's the right move. Whether Davis will take the bait is another matter. While some will question the hiring of anyone (I often wonder if the second coming of Bob...

The raise was in Fulmer's contract - Any time he won 8 games a year was added to the contract. That was the university's decision Clawson was a hire by Phil... The coach choose his staff. If Fulmer wanted Clawson, then Hamilton wasn't going to disagree. Fulmer controlled UT football, and...
