Alot of stuff on TOS.......braj....dropped a nuggett

 

[Caleb59seal]

Yea doubt it but he is a finalist... I don't see Venables not getting the job... Either that or Les....

 

[CladInOrange]

Hmm. interesting.......

 

[TNnative]

Let's get his brother, Marshall.

I would support hiring Tucker. great defensive mind and has been apart of some great Ohio State champs in 2002 and Alabama in natty. Just started looking into him. Any opinions on this hire?

 

[k-town_king]

I would support it. Outstanding resume and still only 45. DC at the NFL and P5 level. Multiple championships. Interim coach for a NFL team. Great recruiter.

 

[EricFreakingBerry]

People will point to his time with the Bears, but his Jags defenses were legit, and obviously Georgia has been better defensively than we have been since he's been there.

I just don't know how it will resonate with the fanbase. Knowing us, I'd say pretty poorly.

 

[lilesrt]

I would support Brent Venables or Mel Tucker. I like where this is going.

If it's Tucker, then Fulmer made no effort other than to find a coach that he could control. If it doesn't end well it should be the last thing he ever has to do with this Athletic Department.

The research I've done looks good.

I wouldn't mind Venables. Seen a few reports this morning that Les is no longer in the running.

I’m starting to think this and add Tee would be very nice! Championships are won with the running game and defense and great recruiting.

Battered vol syndrome has completely set in.

Why do you say this?

 

[VolFish11]

Check out this article from 2013 about how Tucker would be a great college coach

[BoroVol13]

Tucker has the resume to be successful. I could support this hire.

T not coming here as an OC. NEVER!

 

[OnlyGodForgives]

Enough heads still refer to TN as potentially relevant for the fanbase to be expectant of a tremendous splash hire. None of the names on page one except for Kiffin fit that bill. Even after the last three weeks (twelve years if we are honest) we still demand a rock star.

Exact same thought that came to mind. What a disaster.

 

[sonofUT62]

Why do you say this?

Because there are about 4-6 candidates more qualified and completely realistic.

Fire on the Hill?

 

[NorthDallas40]

I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to this. He has a stout resume and pedigree and is respected. Don’t really care about his interim HC record means nothing. Has been around plenty of championships for sure. Only real ding is lack of HC experience. I really hope we go buy a proven P5 head coach this hire is critical.

 

[chargervol]

Well go ahead and give us your list.
