Not hearing much about Tee...

[krankwave]

Option?

 

[GAVol]

No

 

[VolForLife83]

Is he a proven HC?

 

[jakez4ut]

This place has gone full you know what.

 

[rtb1983]

Aren’t hearing much about anything right now. Butch is still coach and the fan base is depressed.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

No.

Need a proven HC with a great track record.

Tee doesn’t want no part of Knoxville nor does his wife.

Hard to blame em. He had a perfect season, a national title, and all you hear about is how great Peyton Manning was.

 

[jpope9]

He sucks. He's not doing that good of a job as an OC with a first round qb.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

I don't think he'd be a bad option, but I'm also not sure I'd put him in the first tier. He's been good as an OC, but not great. No head coaching experience. He's only been an OC for three years. Tough to say how he'd fare at his first Head Coach job and Tennessee isn't the easiest place to learn on the job. Nevertheless, he recruits well, and it's certainly not far-fetched to suggest that he could be good as coach in Knoxville.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Tee as an OC? Sure thing. As a head coach? Absolutely not.

That’s simply false. He wanted no part of Butch. Butch only interviewed him for a PR stunt. Also, being a WR coach at UT compared to USC is not even fair. If the offer was OC or bigger, Tee definitely comes.

If we get desperate and a lot of coaches turn us down, I’d rather get Tee than some of these mid majors being tossed around.

He has national name ID with recruits, solid track record of developing multiple positions around the country, VFL, wouldn’t have to worry about him jumping ship if he won big here.

Your last sentence is the last thing I want to hear.

If our Administration gets desperate, there’s no hope for our program.

Tee is just slightly more popular in Los Angeles than Larry Scott is in Knoxville. Neither is very competent right now.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Do Not Want

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Clay Helton and Tee's stock are dropping very quickly with the way this season is going after all those expectations.

 

[10acvols]

Not the worst option.

There's absolutely no comparison between the two. USC is averaging 32 points per game. Tennessee is averaging 16. Tee's had one bad game (14 points vs Notre Dame). Larry Scott's offense has played one good half of football (2nd Half vs G-Tech) all season. Also worth noting that Tee has faced off against several very good defenses and USC hasn't played a single cupcake game this year, while Tennessee's stats are partially propped up by a cupcake game against Indiana State and by a 2-OT game against GT.

I think there's a legit argument against Tee, but saying his track record as OC is similar to Larry Scott's is like the earlier post today trying to claim that Jim Harbaugh is as bad as Butch Jones. Tee is world's better than Larry Scott as an OC.

Tee will be lucky he isn't fired at season's end. USC offense has not been great this season considering they have Sam Darnold. He was the front runner for the Heisman and future #1 pick. His development has took a major step back.

I didn't say anything about his specific track record. I said his popularity is abysmal, just like Scott's. Reading is fundamental. Go read their message boards or listen to their fans. I know several people in LA. They're ready for him to go already.

 

[BleedingOrange18]

Not this go around.if he goes somewhere and proves himself maybe the next coaching change

 

[manndingo]

He’s going to be fired in the offseason...at least he’ll be available.

 

[ptcarter]

Poor Tee. With all due respect - one player at one position does not in itself win a championship. Peyton was watching from the sidelines as Florida's offense put up points. Yes, thankful that Tee was able to carry his part of the load in '98. He deserves admiration and respect for that.

Peyton, on the other hand - all that could be said has been said. HOF in college, pro - two super bowl rings. Charitable beyond the call of duty to his former school.

Tee, at this stage isn't head coach material. Maybe someday, but not now.

 

[Antwturn]

Lol no.

Tee wasn't even in the same area code with Peyton when it comes to playing QB. That '98 team wasn't even the best team Fulmer had. The stars aligned perfectly for that team. The Syracuse, Fla, Auburn and Arkansas games were all games that needed a few strokes of luck in each to win. Hell we even caught a break in the NC game with Outzen having to play QB instead of Chris Weinke. I don't know that we beat them if Weinke had played. That '98 team was destined to win the NC. There were quite a few other Fulmer Teams that were better than that '98 team but they took advantage of the good luck they had and every game they played together as a team and never gave up. Definitely my fondest memory as a Vol Fan. Just hoping I live to see atleast 1 more. Imo the '01 team was from top to bottom one of the best and possibly the best teams Fulmer ever had. Peyton JR and Sr teams could have given them a run but if you ever get to go back and look at the team roster it boggles my mind how they didn't win a NC with either that JR or SR class. The future NFL players on that team was truly epic. You won't see many rosters top to bottom that were any better at ANY school. It was impressive. Just shows the type of players and elite talent Fulmer brought in year in and out. If he could have at the very least split wins with Spurrier we would have atleast played for 3-5 more National Championships under Fulmer. It just further stresses the importance of hiring the right HC this time.
