Its been the most exciting thing about UT Football since 2009

This is sad, but absolutely true.

Malzahn would be a solid hire that immediately gives us an upgrade from Pruitt, and stabilizes the program and recruiting. With the potential exodus of auburn players to k-town, it could also patch up our roster.

Beyond that, there’s some good options - I highly doubt that Tennessee touches Freeze with the baggage but I could be wrong - and I believe we’ll ultimately go with someone like a Chadwell.

We could do a whole lot worse than Chadwell manning the offense and Steele being the interim Auburn stabilizer guy who winds up as Defensive Coordinator.

No, no, no, no, no to Malzahn. As someone who lives in Alabama, you don't want him. He's a great guy and a decent coach, but it you want someone to take UT to the top, he's not the one. I believe if Lyle Butch "Brick by Brick" Jones would not have snagged up the job, Malzahn would be on the Gus Bus back to Arky State to retire.

[GSD82]

Are fisher people saying Jeff fisher or jimbo fisher

Jeff. He came out about 2 weeks ago and said he would take it. Pass!!!!!

 

[volmanNC]

Randy Sanders!

 

[Volbrando]

Won't be Freeze due to NCAA issues. Won't be Campbell bc he's waiting for just the right spot. Won't be Malzahn with Steele on board.

Get ready to be disappointed IMO and be prepared for whoever it is to have 5 years.

then let’s try chadwell. Leave Steele as DC

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

They lead to my screen name so they always have an effect on me.

 

[CA_Vol]

Lack of cheating, probably, but I’d almost guarantee the same on the field results.

So a better hire. Glad we agree.

I'd be OK with it.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Its only been two hours and this has been more exciting than the past 13 years of Tennessee football.

Ha! Sure, but not by much.

For anyone who thinks we are going after freeze, needs to go jump in a ice pond and cool off. It is not going to happen under any circumstance. We are under investigation by the NCAA over recruiting violations and benefits. Freeze got in trouble by the NCAA over the same stuff. You all have lost your mind. Keep hoping, dreaming, and being delusional. My personal favorite for coach would be the following 3 in order: Gus Malzhan, Matt Campbell, and Luke Fickell.

You lost me at Gus

[Fightmaker]

Been some reports he doesn’t get along with people well but who knows

Nick Saban does not get along with people well.

 

[CA_Vol]

Ha! Sure, but not by much.

We at Tennessee set very low bars of success.

Nobody is talking about THAT fisher...

 

[Border Vol]

I saw gruden at a taste freeze in west knoxville. Oh wait, that’s holly Warlick

Josh on 99.1 The Sports Animal one of the hosts said Tennessee should hire Bill Cowher

 

[UTwick]

No reason to even speculate until an AD is hired

That’s not how things are done on VN. Read the fine print.

 

[Border Vol]

The Haslem Empire Strikes Back

 

[TGVol]

Josh Dobbs was very exciting. There has been good.

Also Cordarrelle Patterson, Alvin Kamara, and offense during Dooley's final year.

 

[VolforFootball]

I knew we’d get Hugh!

 

[MBVolFan]

I'd take Chadwell. Freeze wouldn't be bad. Don't want Fisher.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Don't we have to hire the AD first?
