This is a great opportunity for Fulmer to get face time with a bunch of quality sitting head coaches. He can talk to them straight up, with no agents in between them, and see if anyone has interest. If he gets turned down a dozen times it won’t be some big media event for each one and both sides can deny any contact occurred.

Any word on what sitting head coaches are there?

Why would Davenport be there for Peyton?

Doug Mathews did say on his Sunday show that Fulmer could interview some coaches while in NYC. He indicated there would be a bunch of coaches there including some who Fulmer may have interest.

Why wouldn't the sitting Chancellor for the alma mater of an inductee attend? Peyton established a scholarship at UT - one that is related to academics. He is an honored alumni of the University. It makes sense that folks from the university would attend.

Reminds me of how we missed out on Charlie Strong because Phil was being inducted into the Tennessee sports hall of fame and nobody wanted to offend him. So it gave Louisville enough time to counter and we subsequently lost Strong and ended up with Butch Jones

We got the better end of that, even with this year.

I have a feeling Fulmer is just going through the process so it will look like he followed protocol then just go ahead and hire Miles anyway.
Word is that he was negotiating with Les prior to mounting his take over of the AD office.

Dino babers. He is the only coach up that way that would probably be on their list. I hope not but we shall see

The way Hubbs and his bunch are talking, change Miles to Steele...

Would certainly be a disappointing end for all this to end up with Steele, regardless of the staff he gets.

If its Steele as the HC, then Fulmer will flush any credibility he has down the toilet.

I'm just hoping for, but not expecting, an overwhelming hire.
Will be quite disappointed if it's yet another underwhelming hire.
At this point, I'd settle for just whelming.

Good DC and recruiter. 9-36 as HC. Seems to jump from job to job every couple years.

Seen lots of speculation of other candidates coming here with Steele as DC. To end up with Steele as HC would be more than underwhelming.

But can't say I'd be surprised, I figure Fulmer wouldn't stray from his circle, someone he's familiar with from a decade ago.

Get ready to be underwhelmed. The longer this goes, the worse it looks. I know it sounds stupid, but I believe many of the VN members could run the program better than anyone that has actually been in charge for the last decade. Freak for AD! :rock:
