Is Tennessee a DREAM JOB?

[Dougie_D]

What coaches have actually said that Tennessee would be a dream job for them?

Ohio State was Meyer's dream job.

Notre Dame was Kelly's dream job.

Is there a coach out there that wants this "dream job?"

...Jon Gruden


it had to be said

We will not know until we allow this manifestation to take place and bring the personification of our VFL future to fruition.

 

[Sheath Huler]

That man: Derek Dooley.

Haven't you heard? HE's going to win out and get a contract extension!

 

[VolinMichigan]

It's my dream job.I've won so many national titles on NCAA I'm probably overqualified. Hire me.

You've got more qualifications to coach in the SEC than Dooley, YOU'RE HIRED!

 

[Slydell]

Nightmare job, at this time. IMO, FWIW, EIEIO.

 

[vol66]

tommy west says yes.

 

[UTRavens]

I think most coaches dream about 6 million dollars, yes.

 

[BEATBAMA12]

Nightmare right now

 

[WhiteRhino]

This is what I thought of when I saw the post title....

 

[YankeeVol]

To some

 

[perico]

Fulmer and Majors, but besides that, not that I can think of.

Word is that Brian Kelly said it in 2008, but Hambone went with Kiffin.

Smokey has been rumored to be interested in the vacancy after he retires from his current gig this month.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

This is what happens when you get a program run by a couple of ego driven head coaches for 31 years.

More worried about their own records and legacy than the overall good of the program.

It didn't help that Fulmer was loyal to a fault and an exceptionally poor judge on personnel decisions once his crutch left in Cutcliffe.

It is a " Dream Job " for someone . A question in return though . Have you met our " Fan Base " ?

 

[Blledingtangerine]

Yes, He was the head coach here from 1992 -2008

 

[JoeNasty]

I honestly don't know much about coaching or the current situation.....but let me ask this...who do you guys think is already a VFL.....who out there could consider UT to be their alma mater as Meyer did with OSU....cause honestly that's who I want as a coach....a qualified true VFL who wants the best for his home school.....a Pat Summit if you will

to Phil Fulmer and Johnny Majors maybe but probably not to anyone of notoriety

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

As long as the academic administration (read, Cheek) has power over the AD, UT will not be a destination position for any head coach.

 

[EastTN28]

Tee Martin probably even though he really doesn't have any coaching notoriety.

 

[Wolfeman_Vol]

As long as the academic administration (read, Cheek) has power over the AD, UT will not be a destination position for any head coach.

Agreed. Cheek is as much poison to our AD as Hamilton was.

 

[zach0105]

It'll be the dream job for any successful coach we pay a decent salary to coach.

With the facilities we have, our recruiting budget, and the tradition at UT it is a dream job.

The only down side is over-demanding, extremely negative fan base....

 

[LazhilUT]

George Quarles...

 

[SergeantVol]

It is my dream job. Got a ways to go. I currently coach a successful Pee-Wee football team. lol
