Those 2 would win here with the talent on the roster. I also would be confident in their ability to hire adequate assistants, especially since they have been in the game a very long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We cant lose this game or the team will quit on him, it will be the biggest game he has every coached in, and i dont know if he can handle the pressure of the game, because deep down this one game could affect the future of this program and his future at Tennessee there will be a lot riding on this game, plus the Hogs are saying the same thing after losing this past Saturday, both coaches are coaching for there future.

A lot of truth in this post and honest question removing yourself from fanspeak and just being real.

Given what you have seen and acknowledging both their backs are somewhat against the wall would you rather have DBJ or CBB on your sideline? Not advocating we hire Bileima at all lol, just saying history has proven CBJ ****s the bed in big games.

Bowling Green HC Dino Babers will be a big name on the market if not already. Also, Justin Fuente is a rising star out of Memphis.

Ok I was thinking about if we fire jones then who could we realisticly hire that would be worth his buyout .

Any coach Tennessee hires will have things to learn and the team will also have to learn a new system .

Realisticly it's not worth fireing butch before we give him a extended time to coach here

almost anyone. having seen he doesn't know how to coach. talent is there the coaching isn't. just need the coach now to get us back to respectable.

fulmer put some kind of curse on the program when he was fired. UT needs to hire a witch doctor to reverse it.

So who would believe this would be a good hire. I'll hang up and listen.

Kliff Timothy Kingsbury (born August 9, 1979) is an American football coach and former college and professional quarterback. During his playing career, Kingsbury held and currently holds many Division I (NCAA) passing records, and won the Sammy Baugh Trophy in 2002. He is currently the head coach of the Texas Tech Red Raiders football program, where he played from 1998–2002.

Prior to being named head coach of the Red Raiders, Kingsbury was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach with the Texas A&M Aggies, coaching Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel during the 2012 season. Kingsbury began his coaching career as an assistant with the Houston Cougars from 2008-2011.


Perhaps a better Kiffin?

He is a real Jerk but if he wins it doesn't matter to most...

I think our track record of trying to guess the next big thing coach has shown a fatally flawed process. Perhaps we should act like a blue blood program and pay a proven coach to come in.

That said, Butch will be here for at least 2 more years, even if he keeps crapping his pants in games.

Heck no (to Kingsbury, Whittingham, Mullen, Cutcliffe, etc.).

It is realistically going to take an astronomically monumental hire to get this football program out of the current state. We would need someone with enough credibility to salvage current recruiting classes at that time as well as add to those commits with additional top-level talent. We would also need someone with an elite, top echelon staff that can coach and develop said talent to win at worst an average of 8 games/year. This means truly competing for SEC championships and putting the team in position for a potential playoff spot year-in-and-year-out from the get-go.

No Kingsbury, Whittingham, Mendenhall, Mullen, Cutcliffe, etc. will be able to do those things at UT.

The administration is going to have to unload the bank and red carpet for whoever that is. With that said, I don't believe the university is financially in a position to compete to be an elite school, athletically speaking. It's the sad, sad truth.

Whittingham would be an absolute home run hire. He owns Harbaugh, Saban, Oregon. Can coach players and the players that we have at Tennessee are better than what he has at Utah. This is our guy.
