Has this hire been confirmed by the University yet? I notices Volquest no longer had the article on the homepage and didn't seen any confirmation on the utsports site or espn. I hope nothing fell through!

If Lovie Smith is indeed in play, he certainly will NOT announce it to the local stations. He does still have a job..........

Another poster said that Hubbs confirmed the mystery meeting. Was that not true? Also, do we know for a fact that Cutcliffe was made an offer? I don't think Cutcliffe would be a horrible hire with the right staff around him but I just don't think Hamilton would go back to the Fulmer era with his...

We don't even know if Calhoun or Cutcliffe were ever offered the job. They could just be smoke and mirrors to keep us away from the real candidate right now.

That would be cool if true. I just want to keep reminding people. Just because these coaches say they are not coming, doesn't mean that we even offered them the job. They are just responding to rumors. Doesn't mean they were offered. Hamilton didn't use the UT plane before. Why should we believe...

HOnestly. This is ridiculous. Now they are saying Calhoun is not coming. What we don't know is if he was even offered. ESPN put our short list together, but that doesn't mean that we've even talked to any of these guys. I think we did try to get Muschamp, but I think all of the rest is just...

I don't think we did offer Kelly. I think Hamilton wanted Kiffin from the start from everything I saw and read. I think Kelly was the one the media kept saying we were targeting, and he used it to his advantage...... At any rate, it was never confirmed that we offered Kelly.

Guys, I think this is all speculation. People were sure we offered Brian Kelly last year. We may not have offered Cutcliffe OR Calhoun. We may just have had some University representatives talking to them to throw smoke screens out there to keep from knowing who we are really talking to. And...

ESPN article said they were also looking at Kevin Steele. Any chance we are trying to get him as D Coordinator to go with this hire, if it is indeed true?

LSU's D was much-improved with Chavis this year than the previous year. I think Chavis would be a good hire, but we need recruiters!!!!!

I saw in Chris Lowe's email that they were talking to Kevin Steele, the DC at Clemson. Any chance they are talking to him about hiring him away as the DC? If we get Calhoun, we probably don't have to pay quite as much for him as some names, and a good DC hire to go with him would make him much...

OK. The donors and Hamilton need to decide once and for all. Is TN going to be a football powerhouse or not. The only thing they can do to keep us from falling forever to the ranks of Vandy is to ante up and go after a big name and throw the money til they get him. If they don't do that, then...

I'll believe it when I hear the announcement. Remember, ESPN said that USC was talking to Mariucchi at the same time they were talking to Kiffin. ESPN hardly even acknowledged Kiffin as a candidate until he was hired. This could be a smoke screen from the University....

Just remember. Yesterday, our own paper wrote an article titled, "Kiffin not on the list for the USC job". People on Volnation said no way he was leaving, til the news finally broke. I don't really trust their local media saying he is staying until Will Muschamp says it him self. I trust Hubbs...

right now ESPN is saying that Fulmer has been contacted about AD or HC. Not sure which. If they hire him for HC, we're doomed. IT's not like you can bring him back to smooth the situation then send him on his way. If you bring him back, he will be here until he retires.....
