“There is a better fit for the Vols and one who would likely jump at the opportunity. Danny White needs to look no further than Hugh Freeze. Just imagine the narrative that could be written about the Vols and Freeze rehabilitating themselves together. Not only would Freeze bring offensive sizzle to Knoxville, he could also talk contrition and repentance, maybe even enough talk to distract attention away from what happened in Knoxville before him.“

“Alabama football fans would love for the Vols to hire Freeze. Tide fans want more retribution from his years in Oxford. We want Hugh back in the SEC, which is why we lobbied Auburn to hire Freeze before they chose Bryan Harsin.”

Alabama Football: Why the Vols should and will hire Hugh Freeze
Bama wants Freeze here so they can sic the NCAA against us whenever they feel like it.
 
I’m fairly sure White said in his press conference, he wasn’t hiring Freeze.

I wanted him......it’s a no go.....may as well move on.
Not sure that he mentioned the name Freeze at all. White has kept this very quite. Personally I think everyone is speculating, even those that say they have inside information. I trust that White will get it done, based on his track record of hiring coaches.
 
+1

He just about hit SMU territory in flat out cheating and lying to the NCAA

Staying on the Kiffin Train.
I understand that Kiffin is a great offensive mind but this is not happening. Kiffin burned way too many bridges for the big money to welcome him back. White has a major part of the hire however, the big money still must be willing to put up their money. Kiffin is not coming.

I read this, and agree about Fulmer and destruction of the program. With that behind said , Buck Fama. The next time Tn has a chance to run up the score on Bama, the coach better do it.
 
Doubt it. That program will spend whatever it takes to bring in a quality replacement

Yeah? And who is that? What coach has demonstrated ability to take class after class after class and win national championships with it in the toughest college football league in America?

Don’t say Dabo either. 1)He has basically a bye to the CFP being in the ACC and 2) he’s benefited tremendously from Tennessee’s complete baffoonery in building his program.

Okay check their record prior to Saban. I would say that previous 12 yrs was worse than UTs situation. Hell they hired Mike Price after 5 months and he never coached a game!

Mike DuBose 1997–20004 24-23
Dennis Franchione 2001–2002 17-8
Mike Price 2003 0-0 fired before coaching due to stripper scandal
Mike Shula 2003–2006 10-23
Joe Kines 2006 0-1
 
You must not have been around the last time bama replaced a legend (Bryant or their flash with Stallings). Hint, it took seven or eight coaches before they found Saban.
I remember it. I watched all of it. I was like a revolving door. I remember the days when they were getting beat by teams like La.Tech in Tuscaloosa. They will fall from grace when Saban retires. Who can match what he has done. None of his assistants have been able to beat him. Who will they go after????????

It would've been interesting if Franchione stayed. His '02 team destroyed UT in Knoxville. I'm glad he left.

There is no way whatsoever that Hugh Freeze is hired by Tennessee.
 
I know it's not going to happen but:
Freeze is a proven winning HC in SEC. Not a up & comer OC or DC (JP) or bargain buy as in the past.
He just took Liberty (a very Christian school) to a new level. Yes, he has a past but Liberty gave him a chance.
UT needs someone who will give the ticket buyers and donators a reason to believe there is hope in future.
I think the entire UT fan base would be revitalized by this guy. I see all these smaller school HCs and coordinators
being considered. None of them have the experience that Freeze brings to the table.
Won't happen but I sure would like to see White interview Freeze.
