Jeff Fisher comments on interest in the UT job

[PEPPERJAX]

Hire a guy that no other team wants to hire? Sure why not!

 

[greenwheel]

Is this a feeler to see Fan reaction? He and Fulmer are friends.

I believe he also expressed interest in the Vandy job when it was open.

All these players know what’s up. More convinced than ever that Pruitt doesn’t make it another 10 days

Agreed

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

No. Just no.

 

[Nasavol]

He** I’d rather have Tee or even Fulmer than this guy. well maybe not, but no way, why do these crazy names come up. No no no.

Just an old has been wanting one last big payday.

 

[DULL_BOY]

He is a below average HC who rode the coattails of Steve McNair and Eddie George. He is terrible.

Sort of like Dungy, Caldwell, Fox rode Manning’s?

I bet he has the money to wait and do whatever he wants to do. I’m sure he has had plenty of offers to coach.

Bad problem is these players seem to know that Pruitt is likely gone but also who the replacement might be. Seems some just don’t like it.

It’s possible but why wait any longer

We did it with Dooley and Pruitt

Colorado wanted Jones but we got him instead

Can't ignore excellence my friend.

And...while my client has always appreciated the University of TN and its amazing fans, he still has to work to do in Las Vegas.

Although he would take an extension if offered.

How much money we talkin' for Gruden's buyout?

Sort of

The only reasons I can think of is the investigation and close to NSD. We don’t know what will come of the investigation. There could be probation, scholarship reductions and other sanctions. Also there is Fulmer.

We are just gonna have to ride it out and likely watch even more star players jump off the sinking ship.

 

[Spook1]

NFL head coach (quite a while ago now though) who lost a Super bowl by a yard. Seriously, one of the few that I think would be undoubtedly a good developer and program manager if CJP gets a pink slip.

I agree with you. Fisher should be able to attract the top notch recruits. Hire Fisher and keep Chaney. He still owns his farm with two creeks over near Kingston Springs.

I think we can all agree that Pruitt won’t be back

Yes, but does he own land in Jefferson County?

I am now officially in agreement with that. My fear is they are just gonna promote Tee.

 

[golfballs]

My expectations in coaching searches has hit rock bottom. I’m not looking for a home run hire. Just someone better than the current guy. Somehow we did worse than Butch Jones, let’s do better than Pruitt

 

[allenfan1]

Better than who? Napier? Chadwell? Freeze? Malzahan? Campbell? Who?

I am beginning to wonder about some of the people that have Freeze in their dreams at night

 

[onevol74]

How much is substantial? The administration says we are broke. Would he do it for Jesus? I hear Hugh would.

Why would a bad NFL HC, who has been out of coaching for almost 5 years be able to attract top recruits?

 

[CAVPUT]

Nah. His day has passed. We need guys who can recruit like a mutha and do more with less. I'd also like a hire who will get gums flapping about our program. I can't think of two better choices than Freeze and Kiffin. Let's go outside the box one damned time. Roll the dice and get one of these two. Both know this league. Both can recruit. Both can handle the pressure of UT and a rebuild. No more hope and a prayer hires. Get someone who can swim in these waters. Both those guys can and have won in this league. I don't give a damn what the media or anyone else says about the hire. They get UT winning again and no one will care.

Yep, they are all walking at night over on Magnolia Avenue.

I think it has a lot to do with the staff he can bring.
