I was afraid of that happening and it did…

IMO, I just wish they’d stop wasting time with damaged goods like Leavitt and Pribula and if no JA, go after a legit dual-threat Group of 5 QB. Enough projects and rehab flyers. Get someone who’s proven, can move, and can come in ready to compete right away.

Ty Simpson is a talented SEC quarterback, but if he enters the portal seeking first-round validation and top-of-market NIL, Tennessee would be paying a premium for a player who may not be an ideal schematic or value fit. Fit, cost, and timeline all matter — not just name recognition.

IMO Anthony Colandrea (UNLV) with one year left and honestly makes a lot of sense as a bridge option. Threw for around 3,400 yards with 23 TDs and added another 600+ on the ground, so he’s a legit dual threat. Productive, experienced, and not a big “portal superstar” chasing massive NIL. Feels...

IMO (not that it’s worth anything) Corey Edmond is the move. Michigan went from soft to bully-ball real quick, and that starts in the weight room. Durable, physical, strong late in the season — exactly what Heupel’s tempo needs in the SEC. No IG hype. Just grown-man strength and better...

Sorsby -Looks comfortable running RPOs and spread concepts -Plays fast and processes quickly -Defenses have to respect him as a running threat Hoover -Feels more at home in a slower, pocket-style offense -Can struggle when decisions have to be made instantly -Doesn’t add much with his...

Jerod Mayo as a Tennessee position coach? Sure… if we’re just handing out jobs because someone wore orange 20 years ago. Great dude and a smart NFL mind, but he’s never coached in college, never recruited, and has zero experience dealing with NIL or the portal. College coaching is its own...

I think Jim Knowles is a great hire. I was really hoping for Chris Hampton at first, so I didn’t spend much time considering Knowles, but the more I look into him, the more I like it. He runs disciplined, aggressive defenses and develops talent at a high level. Hopefully with strong NIL support...

IMO — Tennessee should go get Chris Hampton. Born in Memphis, he played SEC ball at South Carolina as a starting safety. Now he’s the co-DC at Oregon and one of the fastest-rising defensive minds in college football. He led Tulane’s huge defensive turnaround (jumping over 80 spots nationally...

Chris Hampton just makes sense for Tennessee’s DC spot. Everywhere he’s been, his guys play hard, tackle well, and buy into what he’s teaching. He connects with players, he recruits well in the Southeast, and his style of defense fits what Tennessee needs—fast, aggressive, and disciplined. He...

Home Run Hire: Will Muschamp Say what you want, Muschamp has elite DC chops. He’s built SEC defenses that terrify people. More Realistic Hire: Derek Mason Lance Guidry Jim Leonhard Those 3 give Tennessee an immediate identity, toughness, recruiting bump, and SEC-ready scheme.

Brian Kelly is available for DC job 😂

Shoot, if Heupel’s on year -15, then Dooley and Butch must’ve dug that hole straight to China. Man’s been patchin’ leaks, buildin’ depth, and still winnin’ ball games while half the fanbase’s yellin’ from the porch. Rome weren’t built in a day, and neither was Knoxville after that circus.

Cignetti isn’t coaching in the SEC either…
