I find it strange that Davis said his agent Sexton wasn't contacted by us.Even though I don't want Davis I find this very strange, because he was supposedly our #1 target.Why wouldn't you contact your #1 target?I have hunch Davis lied about that.

Nobody really knows who Ham's #1 target is... and Sexton wasn't contacted by "Tennessee officials." The search firm could have talked to Sexton.

We're bascially still searching for clues and Hamilton's playing this close to the chest. It would be nice if he'd throw of few names of people we're not interested in hiring.

I think the list includes these coaches, even though there's some I don't want.

Mike Leach

Lane Kiffin

Tim Brewster

Brian Kelly

Possibly Butch Davis

I don't think that amount will get him.

Any real evidence?

Found this off a local news website

According to ESPN.com, a source with knowledge of the search said that among the candidates on Tennessee's preliminary list are Minnesota coach Tim Brewster, Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly, former Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin and Texas Tech coach Mike Leach. Contact has already been made or will soon be made with representatives of all four coaches.

Ahh. Hamilton is leaving a little bit of negotiating room.
:good!:

They need too give it to kiffin and let him run with it. If butch doesn't want it then fine. I'm about off his bandwagon anyway. The man's old, he has had cancer and he's got plenty of money. Give it to a up and comer thats hungry. I'd like to have butch, but if he doesn't want it, we need not waste our time with it. I like the idea of kiffin getting started right away anyway.

He has not interest in the job.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I think that was just quoting an editorial by David Climer.

 

[Godfatha]

Tim Brewster, ewwwwwww.

 

[TheVolunteer]

another merge

 

[vollygirl]

I read up until that last word...rumors.

 

[TheVolunteer]

Tim Brewster, ewwwwwww.

I know right, he's only been @ wherever he's at(I can't remember right now)for a year, plus he got stomped against Michigan.

 

[utmba93]

This looks like a fresh article, but he says so little about the offer or his sources.

Is this new?

 

[orange parmejohn]

what does he make at UNC? they should have offered him 4, then he might be interested.

 

[Volzilla]

Climer is :bow2: to "Butch Davis" as the only one that can bring UT from the depths it's in now.

 

[jbeard82]

David Climer is a Liar. He has no source. Hes the same guy after the alabama game said fulmer wont be fired. Hes an idiot. Butch Davis said he has no intrest in the UT job and also said that we have not even contacted him!

I dont know if you knew this or not but Saban is NOT going to be the coach at Alabama! He has no intrest in leaving Miami and will NOT for the last time be the coach at Alabama! He wants the media to quit asking him about it.

Yeah probably so. The cancer thing with butch scares me a little. I'm about at the point where i wouldn't mind seeing them go after lane and announce it right now.

so what your saying is Nick Saban pulled this stunt and so now when every coach says no thanks that means they are actually saying yes?
