It's Les Miles

Les Miles has a winning percentage of over .700 and not at a mid major school. And for more than one or two years. He also has a natl championship and won coach of the year. Which available guy has a better resume? Unless you simply don’t care about the resume you just want who you want. IMO Les, Kiffin and Frost should be our first choices. If all say no then go get Tee because you know he will accept. But at least try to hire the most qualified proven guys first.

Someone finally had the audacity to stand up to Haslam and do what is right. John Currie went rogue. He was humiliated repeatedly as the result of following Haslam's orders. He finally woke up. He took an unsanctioned trip to the West Coast and had all but hired a terrific football coach who could have rebuilt this program. Leach would have done things his own way. Haslam wasn't having it. He had his puppet, Chancellor Davenport, fire Currie and promote a good ole boy as AD who will do his bidding.

Yesterday wasn't a coup. Yesterday was a coup being put down. Fulmer will hire a head football coach who follows Haslam's marching orders because this has worked so well for the Cleveland Browns.

I had almost forgiven Fulmer for growing complacent as the head coach and allowing our football program to flounder. This reopens old wounds. Fulmer reverted to his back-stabbing ways and took from us a golden opportunity to make UT football fun and nationally relevant again. It was Fulmer's dagger that ultimately assassinated the Leach to Tennessee deal. I will never, ever forgive Fulmer for that. He loves himself and being in a position of power more than he loves Tennessee.

Fast Forward to 2018 Season:

W’s:

ETSU
UTEP
Charlotte

W’s with The Hat:

KY
MIZZOU
at Vandy

6-6 and bowling...


Maybe’s:
at SCar
FLA

Not Happening:
Vs. WVa in CLT (Unless Grier declares for 2018 NFL - Unlikely)
@ Auburn (Gus will replace and reload)
@ Ga
10/20/18 - TSIO

To Summarize:

3-9 without Les
Likely 6-6 or better with Les.

FYI, the Vols visit BTR in 2022 which would be year 5 of the deal.

Think the Spurrier to SC back to FLA, hopefully without the disaster of the final year in Columbia.

SEC East Title In 2020 anyone?

SEC Champ in 2021??

$6.0 per year with incentives over 5 years plus $8.0 in Assistants’ including S&C pool.

Fulmer backers will need to get their signing hands limber...

I don’t know how involved Fulmer is or has been. But stopping the Leach hire sure doesn’t give the perception that you want what’s best for the program. Most fans were very happy and even shocked we could be so lucky considering the previous events. But Leach would have been his own man and unfamiliar with how TN does things. So naturally he won’t be considered from here on out.

The more I think about it, i think this needs to happen. Take Whatever Tee is making at USC, double it and make him AHC/OC to take over when Miles retires.

The next 2-3 years will be ruff. Let’s give Miles a chance to be the “head man” through this mess. Let him retire with some dignity and then Tee can take over when he retires. i fear Haslams and Currie idiots will try to sabotage this and try to regain a foothold. Let Miles take the heat off of Tee for a bit,heck the dude can control a room full of reporters with ease.

Noticed some have said we are lacking on talent. Granted we need a great class in 2018 but I think there’s still a lot of talent here. Get ALL these guys healthy and keep recruiting hard and we’ll be fine talent wise. It’s not like we’re anywhere CLOSE to we’re we were when CBJ took over. Not even close I say !!!!

If aTm can afford $75/10 year guaranteed contract for Jimbo Fisher, then we can afford whoever we want as we are the 2nd most profitable college football program.

And that $400 million Neyland upgrade doesn't matter...it is merely an advertising tool for recruits and coaches alike.

Seems like if Miles was on campus someone would just snap a photo of him and post it to Twitter or something

If he was on campus Twitter would be on fire with it. Someone probably saw a LA license plate on campus and assumes its him ha.
