Bud Foster, strict, very disciplined blue collar guy. Regarded as one of the best assistant coaches in the country for some time now. Been with Beamer since '87 I believe, and has at least had interest from other programs in the past for his services as a head coach but has never taken one. Certainly would be an unproven recruiter and would need to surround himself with plenty of offense minded guys, say, a Malzohn (sp?) type
There's a reason Foster has been an assistant at Va. Tech for 20+ years. He's a clown. I'd rather have Fulmer coach twenty more years at UT than have Bud Foster on Tennessee's staff for 20 seconds.Bud Foster, strict, very disciplined blue collar guy.

IMO Jerry Moore is too old and Brady Hoke would be in waaay over his head coming from Testicle State.
I would really like to see Brian Kelly land in knoxville. I followed his teams while he was in Michigan (GVSU/CMU). He's the kinda coach that doesn't recruit for his scheme, he recruits the best athletes he can get and tweeks his scheme to their talents.
Agreed.
As for Hoke, he is a Ball State Alumni so I doubt he would leave for just any job. Regardless, I don't want him here.
