Blacklisted coaches - Kiffin and Leach

[JMSqb11]

Problem is we dont know for sure if Kiffin wont get a look. He might, you never know. But lets get in the realm of reality about Saban. It really doesnt matter who we get. Its just something we as Vol fans have to accept. Saban has had 7 straight #1 recruiting classes and in those 7 years we have only finished in the top 10 twice. Also factor in the abject coaching failure of Dooley and Butch. Our players are soft, weak, slow and undisciplined. All of that plus the talent disparity between us is just too much to overcome.

The point is, there is no coach we can hire that is going to use our current team and beat a Nick Saban coached Alabama team. They have way too much talent and are too well coached. Saban is not going to be scared of Kiffin nor will any other team in the SEC.

Butch really did a number on you.

What if they don't? What if they can't? Are we still okay with these two coaches being persona non grata against the will of the majority of fans?

Go buy plenty of magic markers and poster board. You might consider a variety of noise makers too. Plenty of sidewalk around the stadium and the training center so bring your friends.

If you all see Fulmer, march around him chanting. I hope you all are in good shape though.

Again, one man is standing between us and prosperity. I guess most people don't have an issue with personal preferences getting in the way of the program.

If you think Leach is coming here and winning big then you are delusional.

You disagree? By all means, offer a retort. Would love to hear it.

This is what's silly. Leach wants the job. There's no reason not to talk to him.

Fulmer is the guy that kept dead weight coaches on his staff. He's the guy that spawned the Fulmer Cup.

I thought the Fulmer cup was “spawned” by a group of Florida fans. And, IIRC with the rules they created, Fulmer never won it. Or maybe I’m misremembering.

Butch has a lead vs Bama with 2 minutes left.

Kiffin has Bama all but beat in 2009 until the buzzer.

To say Saban is unstoppable is just false. Comes down to coaching.

It feels like the best two coaches available who also have expressed desire to be here have been blacklisted (though Leach left and re-entered the blacklist over the course of a few days).

How do we make it clear to our administration Vol fans want both of these guys over most other clown coaches they could come up with? Do we continue to riot if they cannot bring us a quality name when they are clearly there for the taking?[/QUOE]

Considering neither of them have shown any interest in coaching at Tn,why are they even being discussed? The only time Kiffin has made any comments about Tn is to troll us or make fun of us,so yeah,guess from that he seems interested. Nothing like trolling a school right before you get hired.Maybe Gruden can pick us a slam dunk number one qb like he guaranteed Manziel was. How'd that work out?

It's a message board...and the first quote you just responded to stated,

"the best two coaches available who also have expressed desire to be here have been blacklisted"
