So Hubbs said that Steele is the top choice but RS is in play as a backup?

Serious question.......... what is Randy Shannon doing now? Is he a candidate anywhere else?

I haven’t researched this at all so just off the top of my head. May not be accurate. I think that Randy took the year off. He has been rumored to be in the mix for DC positions at Arkansas and UCLA. There are a bunch of schools that visualize Randy signing on as the DC and bringing a boatload of South Florida speed and talent with him. He is 45 years old. I do think that he will have to take a coordinator position before he gets another chance at a head coaching position. I would guess that Tennessee’ chances of landing him is maybe 10%. Never say never but I do think it is a long shot.

Again, I am not connected at all and so that is merely speculation from a sports junkie.

I don't think Hubbs has named a favorite. All the Hart vs. Dooley rumors have convoluted the situation.

That would be what everyone has said. Dooleys top choice but Hart wants RS.How can Dooley not see that Shannon would be the better hire. Plus who's to say Steele would even come. He used us to get a raise last time.

The Hart vs DD part of this I don't believe or at the very most is way overblown.

I've said it before...if Hart is already overruling...after his diatribe on allowing coaches to do their jobs...then we are not in very good shape. He has no reason to employ Dooley if Dooley cannot make his own hires.

I agree with you 100%.

I don't think who is better is that clear cut but I do agree that Steele may very well not come. In fact I don't think he will if offered.

Maybe Hart is just trying to get Dooley to "aim higher"...we got the money support let's make a big name DC hire.

I personally can see these two going at it. Dooley seems a little stubborn and Hart needs to show him who's in charge, especially since Dooley wasn't his hire so Dooley may wanna tread lightly. Jmo and I certainly don't claim to know anything.

I could see Hart stating his opinion by saying money is no object and DD discussing the 2 guys with him but not a power struggle as suggested.

Maybe all there was to it. Hart telling Dooley he has the money to get either.

That's not what Hubbs said this morning on 104.5. He said that Shannon is a possibility and is a name that is being thrown around. He did say that Steele was probably the first call made, and mentioned that Wilcox was not Dooley's first or second choice the first time around.

True, I heard it too. The question was to name some guys that "haven't" been mention yet. Hubbs said the other Co-DC at Clemson, Charlie Harbison because they worked together at LSU. Hubbs then went into how Steele was Dooley's first choice but reminded everyone that Steele had the job last time so that Wilcox wasn't the first choice either.

Mark Howard then chimed in and asked about Randy Shannon. Hubbs replied by saying he was also being mentioned and a possibility. He just happens to believe Steele is the top choice and may be intrigued by UT more this time around because Dave Hart is now here and they (Steele and Hart) worked together at FSU and have a good relationship.

I don't see Steele leaving Clemson to come here. No sources, just my own personal feeling. He has already turned us down once, so why keep going after him? Shannon seems more realistic, especially with all of the rumors on here. I know a lot of it may be BS, but there's too much smoke not to be something going on. JMO

Shannon or Steele would be a great hire. I'd take either one without complaint.

Hubbs isn't all that reliable either. He's whiffed several times recently.

"Most" reliable does not equal "very" reliable. The CIA could probably learn things about information control from Dooley.

Yep. Hubbs has been nothing but disappointment.

Thanks the guy that told me differently just has an anti VN agenda. Lol

Hubbs was positive that Wilcox was leaving for Texas last year. I guess he's a bit right...just a year later and a different school....

It seems to me that DD keeps info in house very well. I would applaud Hubbs not for getting to that info but because he doesn't claim to have info that isn't true like many of the rest.
