If you are saying “we should have broke the bank and got a better coach”

[VFLCodyGBO]

We offered top tier coaches top tier money, that’s all but been confirmed by UT. When you’re making 5-10 million a year, money isn’t your biggest motivator in work.

Get behind the man willing to take on the challenge of a total rebuild with NCAA sanctions possible.

Pretty much everyone turned us down as expected so we should be thankful to have JH.

You have no idea what we were willing to offer and no coach in the NCAA makes 10 million per year. I can assure you that money changes a lot of minds no matter the situation.

I do have an idea, and sorry. 7-9.3 million. Feel better?

Proven coaches were not coming to UT with probation looming and the cupboard bare
It is what it is
Pray JH can get it done

Well if anyone would recognize an "absolute idiot".........

I don’t believe you....so please pay me 5 to 10 million per year so I can test the veracity of your claim

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Those coaches worth breaking the bank for already have enough money in the bank to pass on jobs they don’t view as a good fit.

Lincoln Riley makes $11M

We offered $8M to Franklin.. widely reported. Thats top 5 money.

If were going to spend nearly 2million on an AD, and 4million on yet another mid-major coach in decline, we should have brought Chadwell home...and given him every resource he needed to establish a program here.

Not interviewing him, paying a search firm, and hiring the AD's previous coach all adds up to malfeasance.

No AD wants to hitch their wagon to the triple option (check my post history, I liked Chadwell). I don’t agree with it, but I get it.

So again I ask, are we to believe that the triple option is all he is equipped to coach and run? If so, he's not likely to be a head coach very long.

Besides...they were as successful through the air as they were on the ground. It wasn't like he was running the Wing-T.

Big difference between "reported" and "confirmed".

 

[Bigorange123]

Unwritten code, you don’t take the coach from the university you left. It’s that bad here.

Judging by the reaction from the USF fans, they think we did them a favor.

Hell, we didn't even give Napier a look, and he's in the same type of camp as Chadwell, in my opinion. Such a sham, and hiring the coach from the place the AD just left just reeks with a horrible stench of desperation. A great look for a team trying to rebuild!

I don’t know about longevity. Guys make careers at non P5 schools running those offenses, heck Johnson made one at Tech with it.

Hard to hire a top notch race car driver and tell him he has to learn to drive different.

It is real simple.

One guy is trending up.

The other is trending down. For the sake of comfort and convenience, White chose the one trending downward.

Blows my mind nobody understands this. The guys most of our fans wanted get to pick and choose what best suits their career. Coming into this situation at Tennessee is not a smart career choice.

Why Billy Napier keeps passing up Power 5 jobs

(regarding South Carolina and Auburn openings this year)
Neither program fit Napier’s blueprint. The opportunities were not perfect, and Napier quickly realized he is just fine waiting for the perfect job.

“He doesn’t want to take a job that already has immediate disadvantage built in before you play a game,” a person close to Napier told 247Sports.

Search firm likely told White that Napier isn't moving unless an LSU/Bama/etc type opens up. He definitely isn't coming here if he doesn't consider Auburn which has been worlds more stable and has more talent on roster than we do.

Texas also whiffed on some big names, Franklin reportedly was pursued for that job and he turned them down.
