I disagree. Helton was making 1.2 million. The question is, will we pay top dollar for the RIGHT coach.

Why on earth was Tennessee paying that guy, who wasn’t OC at USC, $1.2m? UT wastes more money on unproven coaches and won’t pay proven ones. You can’t fix stupid.

Freeze seems to be waiting... and you are likely correct, Saban may well get to save another soul's career.

Pete Thamel reporting on Twitter that Locksley will make an announcement sometime after tonight's game that he is headed to Maryland.

So we know Bama OC position will be open and there has been no announcement at Tennessee. Do we have to wait for all the dominoes to fall before we get a chance at what is left over for our OC?

It sounds like Freeze is waiting to see what he is offered before responding to a Tennessee offer. Maybe we end up with Enos or Lindsey

More than likely. If so, I hope we go after Kendall Briles

If Freeze goes to Bama we’ll take Enos. He can bring Hurts with him. :)

Why in God’s name would Hurts leave Alabama to come to lowly Tennessee. Dude is used to excellence and playing with other top notch D1 players. No way he’d come here to lose 6-7 games and get his ass driven into the turf every time he took a snap from center.

This is like the last 4 coaching searches. The Vols PR department had turned a coaching search into a circus. Thank God it's not a head coach search, but I really feel for who ever it is if it's not Freeze. He will be under the microscope all next season.

Not a chance in hell we even make contacts with Briles. His connection to the scandal at Baylor makes Freeze’s calling hookers look like romper room stuff.

He was allowed to stay on staff after all that. He was obviously cleared of any connection with that.

Would we rather look like saints and loose or be a little ugly and win?

One thing that makes me still think maybe freeze is the guy is our qb commit from Thursday...I just thought that timing was convenient.

When Bailey verbally committed to Tn. Bama OC position was not in jeopardy. Whole situation has changed now
Friend is our friend. Pruitt will end up promoting Friend and will try to sell his choice to us as being a good choice in press conference
So who will replace Friend as our O Line coach?

he was completely cleared, received his buy out, and to the best of my knowledge has never been issued a show cause by the NCAA. The truth is that Briles is much cleaner than Freeze but most people didn't bother to keep following the story after he was fired and Baylor imploded.

Are you serious. Jaylen Hurts just lead Alabama to 2 fourth quarter touchdowns. He is throwing the ball better because they said he has been working with Enos.

Best OL and WR corps in the nation. Elite TE and RBs. Great defense. The GOAT of coaching. Please tell me which one of those would Hurts have at his disposal at TN.

Just to show how easy it is to look like a stud QB at Bama look no further than Blake Simms. A RB that turned into a QB and looked amazing in Bamas system.

Now, because most people quit following the story and because a Baylor player was convicted of rape, I will agree with the premise that solely from a public relations perspective you will have the Me Too people foaming at the mouth if you hire Briles, not because of what he did or didn't do but because of what he represents to certain people. To which people have to ask would we rather play the political correctness game or hire the best coach available.
