Do you think this will affect Mike Hamilton's decision on our next football coach, its increasingly apparent that younger more energetic coaches are getting the job done. And I think it would be a great direction to take an already prestigious program.


NOTE: This is not a fire Fulmer, Fulmer sucks, or Fulmer rules post, it's inevitable that sometime in the next 5-10 years Tennessee will need a new coach and thats all I'm referring to.

Not after a top 5 recruiting class this year. Fulmer has bought himself some time.

I didn't mean immediately, I was talking about the next coaching change, whenever it is, because there will be one at some point

This is becoming more of a trend in the NFL as well...

I think the current state of the program should dictate. If we are in a "rut" with not much to lose then I would go with a young mind in hopes that it will turn out to be a long competitive relationship. If we are competing for SEC championships and NCs then I would probably go with a more seasoned coach to try to keep the momentum or maybe increase it a little:twocents:

Personally I do not think Mike Hamilton has the final say in that decision. I mean, of course he does, when it comes down to signing the contract, but what I mean was that the Boosters and donors have a HUGE part in it. Without the money, we can not hire a coach so they must sign off on it. The biggest reasons Pearl is here is because of Grunfield and some of the boosters like Haslam and Thorton.

Well, I'm just saying it is inevitable that, regardless of intentions, any time someone on here compares Fulmer to someone deemed more successful, or vibrant, or hygienic, or whatever, then it will quickly devolve into pro v. anti Fulmer discussion.

Wouldn't the only "young" coach in the past 10 years to win it all be Gruden?

I didn't know we were discussing winning it all...I was just referring to the influx of new head coaches that are very young being hired in the NFL in the past few seasons...

So you want to replace CPF with a guy who can't win it all but he's young? Maybe I just don't understand your plan...

Where did I ever say that I wanted Fulmer replaced? I was just making a point that NFL teams are hiring younger and more enthusiastic coaches...

First off, the thread is about when CPF leaves do we get a young, energetic coach. Next, you point out that the NFL is moving to this kind of coach. I just pointed out that while this is true for the NFL, none of the "young, energetic" coaches have won a championship. Why should we hire a guy like this? Personally, I'd rather have an older proven coach over any of the new young hires.

Yeah, I wouldn't want Sean Payton coaching the Vols right now. Look at how badly he ran the Saints into the ground this year. They should have hired a retread like Mike Martz.

I actually like the young coaches but that should not be the only qualification to get the job (like most seem to advocate here). Personally I would rather judge on his FB resume and ability than his age. Belichick has none of the qualities mentioned in the OP but I wouldn't mind seeing him on my sidelines.

Where, anywhere in this thread did I say we should fire Fulmer and hire a young coach just because he is young?

Nice, Mike Nolan is another young and energetic coach that had a very positive impact on the 49ers...

CPF has always said he doesn't want to be a JoePa or a Bowden and coach until he's older than dirt. Trooper for head coach when Fulmer retires.
