I know this is not place, but cant post my own thread.
Has there been an official declaration that Jim Bob would never coach college? Hardly ever gets mentioned, I must have missed something.
Thought that Phil being AD might have resparked his name in the mix.
You cant afford to be safe and reliable when lagging behind your competition. Closing the gap will take vision, boldness, and innovation. I hope UT considers this when weighing a Les Miles hire. He is the safest of all potential candidates. He has experience and accomplishments. Hes familiar with our conference. Hes a strong recruiter. He has beaten Saban. Hes kissed trophies. He may even bring along our favorite VFLs. But as were all safe and warm, group-hugging around our 1998 championship trophy, the gap between us and our competitors will grow wider. UTs legacy demands better.
If ever there was a time to throw caution to the wind, its now.
"Per sources with direct knowledge of the proceedings, Fulmers next round of talks is set to include, but not be limited to, Washingtons Chris Petersen and Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt."
Do any of the names, outside of Gruden, Miles and a few others, sound like something Fulmer would come up with knowing he has one shot at this?
Bottom of the 9th, down by 3, bases loaded, full count. He knows he has to knock it out of the park.
