Tennessee not willing to pay to get it across finish line is why we ended up with Butch and Not Charlie Strong who I think would have ended up better than Butch given his recruiting ties and chip on his shoulder towards Florida.

We were 500K away from hiring Strong.


Can’t remember who Phil seriously interviewed but another showing of us not making the most obvious decision to hire a good one and that was Kiffin

Phil did 2 interviews with Tucker Steele and Pruitt

All in a short time after Currie traveled the globe to talk to any coach he could get a meeting with.

I was onboard with Mel Tucker. Regardless, Phil was coming in to clean up a mess. He will forever have to own the Pruitt hire but if we fire Pruitt, the next search will be completely different than the last one he inherited.

Just kick Fulmer to the curb while we're at it

What we know: Hugh Freeze has said before that Tennessee was his dream job.

Auburn firing Malzahn puts pressure on Tennessee. If we're going to have a shot at Freeze, right now might be the only chance we have. Thus the big-time boosters could be coming together to force the issue. "Either hire Freeze now or we're significant reducing our donations".

Ansley and Graham being out today had nothing to do with the investigation, they are in quarantine.
The players being out has nothing to do with covid, contact tracing or quarantine.
GBO!!

Why anyone puts any stock into what Basilio says, given his track record, is mind boggling.

I don't know what or who you may or may not know but Basilio is the most honest guy in or around Knoxville media. I've been in radio 20+ years and I promise if you want honestly and someone that knows what they are talking about Basilio is the most accurate and honest you will get.

If boosters are threatening donations over Freeze when better names are potentially available, they are what’s wrong with Tennessee

Being honest is a completely different thing than being in the know on things

No to Freeze. He's not the only good coach out there, and with the investigation going on, he is the last person we need leading the football program.

I think Freeze,Campbell, are both capable. I wonder if Bob Stoops would be interested. Urban I would at least ask him. Napier is a wild card, don't know if I want to risk it. Vols have to go all out to get the best this time. GBO!

What better names? And before you answer, how many of these better names have claimed that Tennessee was their dream job?

I've listened to him for 15 years - he is not always right but he definitely knows things. He's reported a lot the past 5 years that has come to fruition. I think he's right more than he's wrong.
