My take SD is a fall back option way down the list if multiple coaches told us no. Hopefully he is not a serious candidate.Blows my mind. Do you think other SEC schools even whiffed this guys name when they were searching for a coach? What has this guy done to prove anything? He’s barely above .500 as a head coach....basically worse than Butch Jones.
I just don’t get it. Someone enlighten me please

His record at Cal that ultimately got him fired isn’t encouraging.Why?
He's experienced, likely would take on the crapshow Pruitt has left. Has no known NCAA issues and has high scoring offense.
If he's hired it's likely because several people said no. Which isn't unexpected considering the instability here and the fact that this job has derailed multiple careers.
I like where you’re at on this, but how does your coach being rumored to leave help a program like SMU? Are they hoping to pump and dump Dykes?
So pump and dump.Dykes is mediocre at SMU. 22-14. Floating the rumor that he is desired by an SEC school would be viewed as a plus for your current coach and your program. Alternatively, I don't believe Pruitt was even rumored to get interest from ANY school. So there is that
Take a breath. Some reporter throwing a name at the wall isn’t anything to get bent out of shape over.Went from having some hope for the future to being kicked in the balls, I'll always cheer for my Vols, bled orange since I was a itty bitty slapnut and I always will, but d@mn, Dykes, that just makes me sick!!!!
Some coaches do improve and learn from mistakes. You’re rightDo your research. Sonny Dykes is an offensive genius. He struggled at Cal but I’m sure learned a lot from that. Took a year to work with Gary Patterson after Cal. Has taken SMU to best record since they had the death penalty. He could work out at Tennessee but needs very strong Defensive coordinator. His teams will put up huge points. I just hate how Tennessee fans rail on anyone who is not a big name. Like all the great coaches want to come here when our program is in total disarray.
At some point you need someone to say yes.
We have not seen Dr. White's list. Relax. This coaching search is being conducted the way one should be by one heck of an AD. Trust the process.

Because search firms do a ton of the background work. ADs aren’t going to automatically know all the background details/closet skeletons on every target.Why even hire a firm for a search?? Any ad should have knowledge of good football coaches, and go after the ones he wants. Example, Freeze, Kiffin either one would come here and do a great job, interview the two of them and make a decision. I see no need to pay for a firm to do a search. I only use those two as examples, I could list several more. Imo waste of money to hire a search firm.
