Well sorry but there not many guys out there that is a realistic choice that is going to meet all the criteria. Be honest how many guys out there has that sparkling record that doesn't look like Butch Jones at Tennessee that is going to be able to come in and update our offense and put it where it needs to be. Jamey Caldwell or Billy Napier would be my second guy but because Herman has had power 5 experience he would get my first call.
Actually, I'm feeling more comfortable about Herman for the simple reason that we already have a quality (second tier to my mind) DC aboard. Might be a lethal combo. The one negative I have on Herman (aside from overall record) is that his offense isn't plug-and-play (essentially what the people here are saying when they complain that Butch would have been nowhere without Dobbs). The QB has to carry the ball A LOT for it to be effective. There are some that are at least closer to plug-and-play, that could work well with Bailey OR Salter.

The one negative I have on Herman (aside from overall record) is that his offense isn't plug-and-play (essentially what the people here are saying when they complain that Butch would have been nowhere whithout Dobbs). The QB has to carry the ball A LOT for it to be effective. There are some that are at least closer to plug-and-play, that could work well with Bailey OR Salter.
The problem with Butch's offense is he didn't let Dobbs have full control of it. It is easy to see looking back that Jones tried to make Dobbs a glorified RB 80% of the time.

We need a home run hire AD, the coach will come after that.

fify
not just my favorite, but easily the best candidate for the job.

Its not even that close. Tom Herman and Chadwell are the closest but they really can't touch his resume.

Hope we hire an AD with a couple testicles and some sense.
 
Within 3 years. Scroll down to "Tennessee fires Jeremy Pruitt for cause" podcast.

Snippet from 6:00 on podcast:

“I would risk a million of my dollars. I would go on the table right now and I would put a million dollars on the table for the University of Tennessee. If Hugh Freeze is hired and he doesn’t win 10 games within three years, I would donate a million dollars to the University of Tennessee’s scholarship foundation. A hundred percent. I would, I would put that money on the table. That’s how confident I am.”


Anybody check the markets today?

I bet McDonalds stock is skyrocketing with Freeze news!
 
Help Clay,winning ten games.in three years is easy.Pruitt won 16 in three years and got fired.If you have to listen to.Clay.Trash,see his wording is like a politicians..His million dollars.If Freeze doesn't win ten games.in three years,not,win ten games.in a season by the end of his third.year.Clay is.the.model.for.a.Tennessee Turd Bird.(I apologize to the bird ahead of this reply).
 
Freeze's application will go to the bottom of the pile any way. Look at all of the big splash hires we've spoken about on here over the years and zero of them have actually happened. Brace yourself for more disappointment. At least the basketball team gives me something to cheer for.
So much for basketball - lol!!!!! Is the rowing team still good? 🤣

Watch and see

So your telling me there are probably hundreds of coaches who “could” potentially be the head coach for Tennessee.

One of them “Freeze” had issues. Now Tennessee has issues......and your telling me he won’t be the next head coach.

Who are you Nostradamus?

I think everyone understands that. However your putting your opinion out there as if it were “fact.”

He “probably” has zero chance......however you nor I know if they would even talk to him or not. Pure speculation given the circumstance.....which isn’t fact.
