Hopefully because UT took drastic actions, self reported, and cleaned house, the NCAA will show a little mercy. There’s not much they can do to hurt UT much more. We have lost a lot of players to the transfer portal and probably won’t make a decent bowl for a couple of years anyway. They should...

I don’t understand the infatuation with Steele. Every third comment on this site mentions him. I am not sure who hired him but it was not the new AD or the new Coach. Why would Huepel want him on staff with the Auburn rumors floating around. He wants his guys. It’s not the best staff in the...

It is hard to speculate because I don’t know who was interested or interviewed. The Chancellor and President all but eliminated anyone with any character concerns or a past and the pending sanctions impacted who was willing to take the job. I would have hired Freeze but I know that was a pipe...

I don’t buy Arnett leaving MSU for UT. I bet Steele takes the job, if offered, because what other options does he have if he wants to coach. He tried a coup at Auburn and it made him look like a snake. No one is hiring him as a HC at a Power 5 school. Maybe he just retires. I hope they hire a...

My guess is that they are waiting to bring in a DC after Signing Day. Perhaps this coach doesn’t want to hurt his current team by jumping ship right before signing day, not that it is any better leaving right after.

I hate the hire but Heupel seems like a genuinely nice guy. I wish him well but have very low expectations.

Lost me with “individuals” and “best staffs in the country”. Reminds me of another coach that was here. They are called players or young men. As far as staffs, simply say you are building a solid staff of coaches you trust to rebuild the program.

The NCAA needs to punish the coaches, not the team left behind. Coaches should be banned for working in college for certain periods of time. The new coaches and players, which had nothing to do with anything, always pay for others mistakes. This does nothing to deter coaches from going to...

Fulmer hired Steele because he actually thought he was safe from McDonaldGate. His plan was to keep most of the staff in place for Steele. At some point, the administration realized Fulmer was also complicit in this so they had to fire him too. They just let him save face by letting him retire.

There’s really nothing the NCAA can do at this point to hurt the program more than what TN has already don’t to itself. They’re going to struggle for the next 5-10 years anyway. Half the team is in the portal so there goes any depth and that takes time to build. They may score 30+ points per...

I think that all depends on Steele’s expectations. Would he demand full control of the defensive staff and play calling? There can be only one chief. You don’t want to undermine the HC which Steele apparently tried to do with Malzahn. This could really create a rift especially with Huepel’s...

Last Chance U

Stock up on bourbon Hire a stud DC Hire a real OL coach Wear camo on the sideline Be discreet when you cheat

Hire a solid DC, a solid OL coach, and worry about filling the other position coaches with recruiters.

If UCF ends up with Freeze, then Clay is absolutely right.
