I want Les Miles now. Get a coach who can immediately restore some level of credibility to our program

Currie/Davenport/DiPietro are getting another lifeline with this rejection. If we were going to offer Gundy $7 million/year plus paying his buyout, then there is no reason whatsoever that we can't go and land a better coach than Dave Doeren.

They had the audience answer (Shiano, Gruden), 50/50 (Gundy, Brohm, and Google), the only one left is to phone a friend and at this point, I don't think they have any that will answer.

I have an inside source at the very highest level who says this is all a ruse. Doeren will actually accept the job but at the introduction press conference he will pull off his Doeren mask and it will actually be....

Sorry, I can't reveal that, you'll have to wait and see. But you'll be happy, trust me. Oh, you'll be very, very happy.

I feel a bit bad for Dave Doeren as he unfortunately got caught in the crosshairs of this dumpster fire, but this is not the situation for him to walk into.

He's a reasonably good coach, but there's no way, no how the University of Tennessee can hire a guy who has turned a middle-of-the-pack ACC team into ... a middle-of-the-pack ACC team. Not when Tee Martin is out there. Not when Mike Leach is supposedly interested. Doeren is not a bad guy or a bad coach, but he's certainly not the guy to walk in and win over a fanbase in open revolt against the Administration. Fans would not show up to games, he wouldn't be able to recruit, and he'd be set up to fail.

Don't feel too bad for him, he didn't want to leave NC State, he just wanted more money for him and his staff. He was putting his name out for every open HC position to force his AD to capitulate, and it worked.

I'm sure he got a decent bump in salary out of it. Glad we could help.
