No one we hire is going to be a for sure homerun hire . So i think both Kiffin and Kelly are as equal as anyone else we hire . Its all kinda of a crap shoot. I just think we could get a favorable contract with Kiffin .

J think Kiffin would be highly motivated to beat Smart & Saban, don't know if he could but i'm sure he would want to badly

Gruden himself said he listened in 12. Has said this year he wants to coach again, that he "still has the fire". His son attends UT. His wife's whole family lives here. I'm not sure why some people think there is 0% chance at him?

I heard an interview with him were he said he would never be interested in coaching a college team only NFL

There are 3 coaches that would be a considerable upgrade that are within reach money-wise. Mike Norvell makes less than 2 million , we could double that. James Franklin has a cheap buyout and Bobby Petrino is reportedly not happy at Louisville. I dont believe that Gruden would give up his cushy, well-paid TV gig to come into the pressure cooker world of SEC coaching. Also, I cant see Chip Kelly in Knoxville, because of his personality. Any one of the first 3 would be a giant improvement, although BP does have baggage.

The thing is there are alot of really good getable coaches out there that are proven winners, the problem is not, is there interest. I believe there are good coaches who are interested.

The problem lies in our administration and boosters. And there lack of vision and effort. If they truly wanted to win and would pony up the money and give up control.

Some of these coaches yal scoff at would be very viable options.

I truly believe Patterson would listen, I think Petersen would listen, I believe one could argue for Frost were better job than Nebraska or FL. If you go make a serious offer you can get a good coach.

We need to go out to the A list options spend 6-9mil/year on coach, give big budget for staff and control and you'll get a winner.

But no confident they do that but hoping

Surely, no one is at the Bobby Petrino level of desperation.

I get the dislike for what he did to falcons....seriously people are hung up on that....smh...stupid....and what he did at arky was very immature but for most to act like man can't coach is ridiculous....he had minimal talent there was pretty much top ten team last two years and gave bama all they could handle for most part at arky.....with minimal talent

I hope that John Currie remembers what some of you have forgotten about Kiffin: the sociopathic lying, the appearance (if not reality) of running a Vol hostess God-only-knows-what, the apartment, the abandoned wrecked car, the slow playing to keep it close against Florida, the horrible mismanagement of the end of the Alabama game to play for a 45 yd field goal, 7-6 record, the top 10 class that produced more felons than graduates, the intentional NCAA violations, the departure, swiping UT commitments, the woeful job he did at USC, etc. Rehiring Kiffin would be akin to battered spouse syndrome.

Other than that, I would take him and his brother in a heart beat.:)

I will address all three. Mike Norvell is a good coach, but is he really the best we could get? He's actually the only one off your list that I would be OK with. To Bobby Petrino, do we really want a coach who has one of the best college football players as his QB and gets bested by the clawfence? To James Franklin, he has the same moral issues as Art Briles. He's just fortunate that he hides the fact that he was ok with hiding sexual assault. If we are willing to hire a coach with this type of colored past, give me Art Briles all day long, he's a much better coach.

Ah talking in absolutes huh? Just stop it. You have zero clue what Franklin will do.

Franklin has no financial, competitive, or recruiting incentive to leave Penn State. If you are so sure that he’s not a 10000% lock to stay there, pony up and make a wager mister know all see all.

This is the dumbest thing i keep seeing. Almost as idiotic as the Franklin talk.

Both Patterson and Petersen have zero incentive to leave their current jobs.

Regarding on the field, what would you have done differently vs Florida and Bama? We were 30 point underdogs vs both on the road. Kiffin played them very smart.
Would love to know what examples of “mismanagement” you can provide.

I get the off the field stuff. However, you are utterly incompetent if you had any issue with how he coached against Bama and Florida ON THE ROAD

How is Norvell any more of a sure thing than Butch was at his career stage? Why in the world would Franklin leave Penn State? And why in the world would anyone want that sleaze bag Petrino associated with UT football?


Edit to say that I think Franklin would be an awesome get, but don't see it as possible.

He's not. But, he's probably a better offensive mind than Butch which doesn't take much.

Let me repeat what I already posted. He has the reigning Heisman trophy winner at quarterback and is sitting in last place in his division. I'll pass.

If Norvell is in the top three, then let's just shut down the football program. To be honest, after reading John Currie's email response to Antone Davis' email, I'm not convinced that Currie is even going to make a change. The attitude shown was one of being completely out of touch with the players, alumni and fanbase.

I must've missed the response. What did he say?
