Right now, Tennessee needs a real football coach or an elite recruiter. Lane provides both despite his flaws.

Tennessee needs a hell of a lot more than a coordinator or an elite recruiter. Bottom line: After going through all this you don't settle for Kiffin.. unless he's coming here as an OC.

Lane gets a bad rap as a HC at USC for a guy who faced a two year bowl ban, had 60 scholarships his last two years at USC, and a horrible AD determined to fire him

Hahaha.

We are talking about Dave Doeren and Chad Morris at HC. After going through all this, you take the best football coach you can get and that is Kiffin.

Tell me the more knowledgeable Xs and Os candidate that is realistic.

Don't stutter

Man you've really scoped down the requirements there. A more knowledgeable Xs and Os candidate? Lol. How about starting with the right question: The best candidate to provide short term success and long term stability.

Do you seriously think Doeren or Morris will make it thru the introductory press conference?

If Currie and Haslam get their way then yes.

Look ask me this time last week and I am not advocating for Lane Kiffin to coach at UT. But right now I want the offenaive genius that can recruit, even with his past. Because right now he is UT's best chance at winning a title in five years.

I'm sorry but no one is fearing a program that has lost 4 out of 6 to Vanderbilt no matter who roams the sidelines next season.

No sane person can truly believe Brom or Doeren is a better coach than Kiffin

Ok, that's a fair question. But I'll change it to winning a title in five years without ending up on probation. In that case, Les or Sumlin are probably better options. Brohm is a better option and last I saw he'd accept our original offer.

You’ve had ten years of Brom and Doeren and you want five more? I don’t even know what to say.

Tennessee never received anything significant from that.

Plus he was incredibly well behaved at USC.

Brohm is a fine option. I like my chances more with Kiffin than Sumlin or Miles but I would be okay with Sumlin

Hard to believe that anyone would want Kiffin back after the way he pooped on Tennessee and everyone who loves it on his way out the first time.

I got the feeling that he thought the people of our state were beneath he and his family and could not WAIT to get back to California to escape us rednecks.

Just. No.

Wise Ol Vol wrote a definitive thread today about Doug Dickey and this topic. You should seek it out. It makes a lot of sense.

I don't get the Miles hate. He was 114-34 at LSU with a Natty and no buyout to boot. That's a pretty phenomenal resume especially considering the situation we're in.

Let's see... we've had Derek Dooley... that didn't work out so well. Then we had Butch Jones... that didn't work out so well either. They were both bargain bin markdowns from CoachMart. Now John Currie is going back to that same old bargain bin and trying to decide between Brohm and Doeren. Now If I'm using logic correctly, I'd say that buying coaches from the same old bin will probably produce the same results the previous coaches produced, and we will be right back in the same place we are right now in what... five years? Soooo... how about going to Coache's 5th Avenue and trying out one of their premier coaches for a change? May cost a little more $$$ up front, but over the long haul it will probably save, or even make us some $$$. Now, I wonder why a bean-counter like John Currie did't think of something like that?

His entire team and agent wanted him to leave right away and fly to USC. He wanted to do a press conference before he left to address people. That never happens.

I’ll give him credit for that.

Yeah, give him credit for adding salt to the wound by using UT press room for that press conference (while Ed the Ogre began stealing recruits) and humiliating the Vols even more..Kitten's a clown and wherever he has/does/will coach was/is/will be a circus....

He is 64 and done nothing since 2011.

Ed O just posted a Les season at LSU.

It isn't hard.
