Gameday is harsh....

[JMSqb11]

yes, there are. i'm all for a miles/martin combo at this point.

there are others i can/will get behind as well. but you are correct, even aside from that combo, there are others ou there that could do the same, if not more, short term.

just not sure how many of those guys would say "yes" at this point. a couple have already turned us down.

i have to think with Fulmer only have a 2 year contract, while he's probably wanting "long game", he also has to understand and appreciate all this good will that's been generated, will fade really fast.

and i'm sure he knows that...as he's been thru it first hand....

One note you may not be aware of, but Fulmer has an open-ended contract. It's not a 2 year deal.

Its so Tennessee for Bev "Dingbat" Davenport to hire an AD no coach would work for.

Job ****in One as an AD is to identify and hire good coaches and these *******s go find the one guy no one will work for.....simply amazing

Are you talking about Fulmer?

Pollack was right about how the SEC East has legit coaches and division is trending up. Kiffin is only coach that is realistic that could go toe to toe with Mullen, Smart, and Muschamp.

So k iffin is only one....lol that's priceless

Tennessee is a red state politically, so of course the leftist pinkos at ESPN are going to bash us whenever possible. Eff em all. We may get the last laugh when ESPN goes out of business tho. I already dont watch ESPN and the cordcutters are sounding the death knell of their crappy network

This is an echo chamber narrative. ESPN is not losing money. ESPN is a.) not making money as quickly as was projected when it was bought by Disney and b.) ESPN is suffering cuts given the parent company's losses in other business units (namely ABC). When profits don't meet projections, every unit suffers.

The narrative of 'us against them' is why most legit coaching candidates will not come to Tennessee. Congrats and building that wall around the program, it will keep us mediocre for years to come.

Kiffin is the ONLY coach? Drama much?

No, he isn't the only coach, but if he is the only one who wants it? I would laugh like Hell watching Fulmer introducing him.

 

[TNnative]

Are you talking about Fulmer?

Actually, he might be talking about both.

 

[edyeary]

When you are attacked continuously and don't respond you become the target for every bully on the block. It IS pretty much us against them
How often do they express any optimism or any sympathy for the fans suffering nere?
Very infrequently.

The Gameday crew must want to be across the river again on top a parking garage.

After seeing pictures of shirtless fat men in checkerboard overalls, they might prefer being downwind of the body farm to mask the stench.
