This....... He is only Coach K tree member that has had success before going back and being an assistant under K. He has made a lot of recruiting contacts in his past years at Duke that would be very beneficial. And K's reference would be very legit.
We don't want Capel.
In nine seasons as a head coach he has three 20+ win seasons.
Outside of the Blake Griffin year, he hasn't done anything in the tournament.
Capel would be a horrible hire.
Why is it ridiculous? Other than UT not being willing to pay up.

In all seriousness, there is no good reason to not attempt, at this point, to bring back Bruce Pearl. I'm all in!
:rock:
Here's the thing, we don't need an up and comer who's suffer through 10 win seasons the next two years. Need a seasoned coach who knows adversity. Not gonna get that with a young coach who's been heading a team for 3 or 4 years.
Find the next Bruce Pearl. That's what we need to do. A guy who's had success at a smaller school or mid-major, knows the game and--ideally--has some charisma. And a guy who wants to coach Tennessee in the way that Pearl and Jones (and Tyndall) did. Don't underestimate the charisma factor in coaching and, more to the point, recruiting.

LOL are people serious about hiring Jeff Capel? You guys miss what happened after Blake left?
Yeah, he went mediocre and then went back under coach K in a winning environment and made new contacts in recruiting for K. Capel is Duke's main recruiter. To think that just because he was mediocre at one stop, he will be mediocre at all stops is quite foolish. If you know such certainties, why didn't you warn Hart about Tyndall?
