Someone who has shown they can get the job done should be a requirement, were too far gone to keep hoping to find the right guy, we need a proven homerun hire, not to say that having a Natty is the only requirement either, I'd hate to see Les Miles here but Meyer is in the same league with Dabo and Saban.
Saban nor Meyer had any connections to the SEC. This school recruits itself to a large degree. When was the last time we finished outside the top 20 in recruiting? Included in that stretch was Jones who didn’t even know how to pronounce Vols. The #1 thing we need is a coach that can sell both prospective and CURRENT players on what it means to be here. We need a cultural reset, and will clean house in both the Athletic Dept and football building. X/O brilliance or recruiting a bunch of out of state guys who will transfer at sign of adversity are less important.
Who says Texas has more resources? Who knows what resources Tennessee has beyond pure speculation, Texas is gum on the bottom of our shoe, if we wanted to win we'd get the very best option available and that was Urban Meyer, at least take a run at him all he can do is say no, and if I remember correctly he was saying how good the Tennessee job would be during his commentating, dont think I ever heard him mention Texas, that may not mean anything but it could have, too late now.
