I have nothing against Bucs fans, but they gotta be like "damn Ut, wish they would hire a coach and quit going after all of ours." I think its kind of funny how we told them Monte would go to Clemson with Lane and that would make Gruden consider UT. Didn't workout exactly like that, but now they are llike "Oh no, we are screwed if we lose Monte." For any of you who have had the pleasue of arguing with the TB fans, it looks like you will be able to say "told you so" one way or the other.
Steele isn't coming so quit getting carried away. The whole reason that Kiffin would get the job is b/c of the package deal. He has 2 guys very close to him who could be PREpackaged together. Steele would only be brought in for a coach who didn't have a SEC caliber DC already. Lane's got two DC so it ain't happening. Would Orgeron come to UT to be D Line and recruiting coordinator? Yes, but we would have to match his salary. But he would take a D Coor job at LSU or ARKY in a heartbeat before doing it so it appears Org will only be at UT if its for D Coor.
I guesstimate here is what we would have to pay all those guys:
HC Lane Kiffin: $2.5 million
DC Monte Hiffin: $1 million
Recruiting/DL coor Ed Orgeron: $700,000
=$4.2 million
Lane, MOnte, and Reaves.
If Orgeron doesn't come, definitely got to keep Scott and may need to bring back Troop.
Good point... taking Monte from the Bucs is like tearing out their hearts, dude. Jon is much more temporary. They must be hating life, while we're loving it! Maybe we can rename the defense the Tennessee 2. They'd love that, I'm sure.
