Take it for what it's worth, but I just received some insider info from the AD of TCU who is good friends with Mike Hamilton. He said our top 3 targets are this in order:
1. Jon Gruden
2. Mike Leach
3 Jim Grobe

Just giving you information I believe to be true. Take it for what it's worth. But I kinda want my Phil back! That press conference yesterday tore me up!

I still think for the timing that this all came out, Hamilton must want Kiffin and wants to keep him from signing with one of the other schools

Replace Grobe with Kiffen, then switch 2 and 3 and I like that list. :hi:

I know! That's why I said take it for what it's worth. Just trying to add interesting thoughts to the conversation. Never said that was the end all, be all definite list.

I also heard Peyton Manning was in town. Maybe he is going to retire after this year to become the head coach. His Colts ARE sucking and his knee is bum. Peyton for coach!!

don't think Manning is looking for a coach job but Cowher is. However you are right Peyton has been seen around town

Reality Check Time People<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Jon Gruden - NFL Coach and happy with that. He is not coming, this is not like Saban who spent the majority of his time in college and could not take the pressure of the NFL. Gruden is not COMING.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Bill Cowher - Are you all smoking your breakfast. The guy does not need th money or the stress and he just bought a house in Cleveland. I am pretty sure he is the next GM or Coach of the Browns where he played.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>

I want to understand your thought process but I think it maybe missing. Mike Leach has been at Texas Tech for 9 seasons and has a 74-37 record (for those of you a little slow, that is a winning percentage of 66% which just happens to be slightly less than Fulmer's 75%). He has yet to win 10 or games in a season and has not went to a BCS bowl yet. If it takes a guy 9 years to build a program for a shot at the title, do you really want him. Oh and for the kool-aid fanatics drooling over his offense, you better put up big numbers cause his defense give up 30+ on a regular basis. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>
We need someone who has a vision of dominance that is inline with that of Tennessee. I believe that can be found in one of the four candidates below<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
1) Lane Kiffin<o:p></o:p>
2) Chris Peterson<o:p></o:p>
3) Brian Kelly<o:p></o:p>
4) Jim Harbaugh<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
No particular order either.<o:p></o:p>

If I was the athletic director here is how I would approach it:

First I would start with great coaches that we will probably not get:
Pete Carroll
Jon Gruden
Bill Cower
Etc...
Then I would try people like:
Successful NFL Offensive/Defensive Coordinators
Butch Davis
Lane Kiffin
Mike Leech

Then as a third tier:
Chirs Peterson
Steve Spurrier
Mike Stoops
and etc...
Click to expand...

now dont bring steve spurrier into the picture

many vols hate seeing him on our sidelines
