Lots of teams in the SEC don't have a specific coach for special teams. LSU and Florida don't.

I had never really given it any thought until a thread a while back brought it up. It just seems like common sense in todays "major college football" world that you would have one. I suppose there are reasons for not having one but hopefully money isn't one of them.

Most teams have either the head coach do it or a position coach takes on double duty. Steve Caldwell used to handle it for us. He didn't do a very good job so we switched to a committee approach. It might actually be worse now.

I can't help but be amazed that one kid's performance could get CPF fired. Before you say it, I know, I know, that it's not just about JC but rather an increasingly familiar beginning to the season, embarrassing losses, lack of recent titles, etc. But still, if JC comes out and has even a decent season we aren't having this conversation. Honestly, IMO, if we'd had a competent QB, we could very well be 4-0. You have to wonder if JC has any clue what his disastrous start could mean in the long run.

We'll nickname him "coach killer".

I'm not saying this is true about Pete Carroll, but I heard the same thing yesterday. I didn't think much about it at the time.

I got a call yesterday from a friend and his brother had just called him and filled him in. Here is the story I was told.

He said the source was a former UT football player but he did say who. He said University and Boosters have definitely been in contact with Peter Carroll and Carroll was indeed interested in Tennessee. He said he was very interested in taking on a new challenge, and what better place to do so than a tradition rich school like Tennessee. According to this source, Carroll also has family in Tennessee. Numbers were even mentioned. He said the Boosters were prepared to offer anywhere from 5 to 5.5 million per year for Carroll.

Again, take this for what it's worth. I'm not really buying it, but this is exactly what I was told.

:worship: Even thought I can't see him leaving USC man on man would that be sweet.

I think Kiffin's wife really enjoys the attractions at Dollywood and down home country music.

I haven't read the whole thread, too much bs, but if there is any truth to this... we should be able to draw a good number of solid coaches for a lot of reasons, but has anyone mentioned the new deal with ESPN? i mean, if Carroll was looking for a challenge and the new, even bigger stage, it would make sense for him to be interested and want a piece of the action over here. no better place to be !

CPF is done, but it would be good for both him and the program if he could leave with dignity.

None of these people are coming to Tennessee..if Tennessee wins 6/8 then it is a moot question anyway..

If I had a nickle for every person who saw Gruden driving through town last year coincidentally in the middle of an NFL season,then I could quit teaching..

Some of you people(some) are amazing..

I am wondering whether the boosters have given any thought to Rod Wilks as HC.

Lane Kiffins wife has a Gator background...

That may have been because, even while losing, the Raiders looked much improved over last year's 2-14 mess. But Layla, 32, is well aware how quickly the fortunes of a coach can turn for the worse.

Her father, John Reaves, an All-America quarterback at Florida who played 11 seasons in the NFL, coached for many years before going into commercial real estate. He was on the staff of Brad Scott at South Carolina. Scott was fired after a 1-10 season in 1998.

"They would put 'For Sale' signs in the head coach's yard," she said. "I know it can get brutal."

Even as the offensive coordinator at USC, her husband caught some flak, especially after a loss to Texas in the national championship game after the 2005 season and after an upset loss to UCLA in 2006 kept the Trojans out of the national title game.

The criticism comes with the territory, she said. "Some of these teams and schools are so passionate."

Partly in response, coaches and their wives around the country are close-knit. "We're all in this together," she said. "We're all getting hired and fired and moving all around, and our kids are trying to get adjusted."
