How about Dave Tollett from Florida Gulf Coast? Impressive wins against Florida, Florida State, USF, etc. Built program from scratch.

I emailed Hammy back in April concerning Dave Tollett. I know for a fact that Dave has strong interest in the Tennessee job. Dave's career goal, not suprisingly, is to become an SEC coach despite the money behind FGCU athletics. If Tennessee doesn't hire Dave, Tennessee will no doubt face Dave...

I don't think CDD will give up on Florida. While I am not a recruiting nutnik, Coach Hinshaw being from Punta Gorda (Southwest Florida) might help a little. It would be great to be able to recruit from Ft. Myers to Sarasota and Coach Hinshaw might be able to give the Vols a little presence...

I have seen Bellamy play in person. He is very, very fast, but also very, very thin. I think he is probably closer to 160 than 170 or 175.

Mike Bellamy goes to Charlotte High School - he is a Tarpon. Coach Hinshaw graduated from CHS and is one of my fellow Tarpons. So you never know.

Bruce could sell a vaccuum cleaner to someone without electricity. Leach - not so much. People like the sales pitch.

Leach's record over last 8 years or so is eerily similar to Fulmer's but he can certainly build a program from nothing. Let's see how Tech does over the next few weeks, however. I just don't think he has the personaility that will sit well with good ole' Tenn folk.

Would L Kiffin bring his dad with him ? I just don't see anyone of significance keeping any reminders of Phil around (i.e Chavis, etc.)

Maybe Gruden would bring Monte with him (Lane's dad has had a few decent defenses in Tampa Bay)? We can only dream.
