Why in the world?

I realize it sucks but this is the best hire we've potentially had in the works out of this s*** show. Sooner fans still love the guy, Lincoln Riley is a Leach disciple and Oklahoma doesn't look too shabby. He's got a solid D at Washington State in a typically offensive driven conference....and he develops QBs like Spurrier..

Who in the hell (besides Gruden) do you folks want?

Because he’s done what the guys record is just 20 games over 500 in a 17-20 year period. Dayum what are we willing to settle for he’s never won a conference title in lesser conference. Never been in a pressure cooker conference

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobbled stone
Neath the halo of an old street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night.
And touched the sound of silence.

Soon.

Candidate A: Overall HC winning record is 0.557. Overall HC winning record in championships/playoffs is 0.000. Overall championships this candidate has been associated with at any coaching type position is 13.

Candidate B: Overall HC winning record is 0.541. Overall HC winning record in championships/playoffs is 0.556. Overall championships this candidate has been associated with at any coaching type position is 5.

Candidate C: Overall HC winning record is 0.719. Overall HC winning record in championships/playoffs is 0.571. Overall championships this candidate has been associated with at any coaching type position is 13.

How does Candidate B have only 5 championship games, but a championship winning percentage of 55.6%? With only 5 games in his resume, his winning percentage would forcibly be 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, or 100%. So how did you come up with 55.6%?

And even if he wasn't head coach for some of those 5 games, there's still no way to come up with 55.6% as head coach. If only 4 of the 5 he was head coach, his % should be 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%. If only 3, the possible outcomes are 0%, 33%, 67%, and 100%. And so on.

So where on earth did you get 55.6%?

The .571 for Coach C is looking a little suspect at this point, too, because we know Coach B is suspicious.

But before we try to figure that out, please explain the Coach B mystery.

Thanks!


p.s. Good morning, everyone. Great day to be alive (considering the alternative). :hi:

Guy needs to be run out of town. His overall shi*** demeanor and talk of this fanbase has gotten beyond annoying, it is down right insulting. Start that campaign someone get him the F out of Dodge too!

Good coach or not, the thought of thousands of people inside Neyland wearing pirate hats and eye patches makes me cringe.

It’s not about a coach. It’s about the people running the show. Much like Tee Leach would be snake bit the minute he steps on campus. If and i use that word loosely they got him to walk the line he’d be fired the minute he stepped off the path. Tennessee needs to get rid of the cancer st the top and coaches will flock to UT.

Understood. And I'm 'on the wagon' with this line of thinking.

I also understand Leach isn't a Tennessee guy, and I'm not saying I think he's the best coach out there. BUT if Currie hires someone, which I fear will happen regardless if we like it or not. The only two names I can think of that would give HoH and his henchmen the Gaulden treatment, AND win, AND do so to a point where they might actually be retained by a new regime would be Mike Leach and Lane Kiffin. Neither care about the press and have skin thicker than Kevlar.

AND....we all know Lane ain't in the mix...so

Leach wouldn’t be a bad hire. But the pattern of Schiano to Gundy to Brohm to Doeren to Sumlin makes zero sense. Think he’s throwing a dart at a list of coaches? Honestly. It’s madness.

History is an excellent teacher for the future. After Kiffin Haslam and his puppet Hamilton plane hopped from coach to coach until one said yes and they came back with Dooley. After they screw up in 2012 Haslam and Hart plane hop from coach to coach and come back with Butch. 2017 after another screw up, Haslam and the puppet Currie plane hop and is probably coming back with another mediocre coach in Leach. The pattern of control and poor dicisions is there for us to see. Haslam wants to be in total control and will not consider any coach that will ask for a lot or complete control. Its as simple as that.

I can’t speak for everyone, but what I want is a solid answer one way or another on Gruden. If it’s no, then there’s closure and we move on.

Didn't check any of the rest of your figures, because that one leapt out at me.

He has won 5 out of 9.

Mike Leach might be a good coach here. The problem is if we get Leach we will keep Haslam and Currie. No coaching hire until those two are gone!!

Have done a little digging and came up with some information.

Disclaimer: I selectively and arbitrarily identified categories to pull information from regarding candidates (at least my top three). It is based solely on a numbers game. I did not include character issues, overall win/lose in any position other than as a HC. However, I did try to as accurately reflect if the candidate had been in any capacity associated with a part of ANY type of championship team, including Superbowl, College National Champs, or Divisional/Conference champs. Below are the unofficial results:

Candidate A: Overall HC winning record is 0.557. Overall HC winning record in championships/playoffs is 0.000. Overall championships this candidate has been associated with at any coaching type position is 13.

Candidate B: Overall HC winning record is 0.541. Overall HC winning record in championships/playoffs is 0.556. Overall championships this candidate has been associated with at any coaching type position is 5.

Candidate C: Overall HC winning record is 0.719. Overall HC winning record in championships/playoffs is 0.571. Overall championships this candidate has been associated with at any coaching type position is 13.

All of the above candidates have some type of coaching related NFL experience. All are familiar with the SEC. So, while I would be happy with any of them, who would you all select?

Again, I have tried to as accurately represent this information but I could have missed a championship here or there. Keep in mind, championships include conference titles, divisional titles, etc. while the candidate was affiliated with that team, either as a HC or some other (non-player) capacity.
