Honestly, its a shame we hate Lane Kiffin so much. He is ripe for the taking but I dont think I could stomach it...
I would add
James Franklin
Yes we would have to throw some money at him, but anybody that can win 9 games in back to back seasons at Vanderbilt is a really good football coach. He also seems to have taken Penn State to exactly where we want to take Tennessee football having won a conference championship last year and competing for a playoff position this year. I personally think he should have been hired (or at least in the conversation) after the 2012 season when we hired Butch. After all he had just finished a 9-4 (5-3) season at Vanderbilt. I don't know why he wasn't considered more seriously then, and I don't know why people are talking about him as a potential coach now. Pay the money and bring this proven winner to Rocky Top!!!!!
Umm, he has a top 5 team at a top 5 program. Do you really believe Tennessee is a bigger program than Penn State?
i WANT Brent Venables GREAT DEFENSIVE MIND AND GREAT RECRUITER. Brent Venables AS HEAD COACH AND TEE MARTIN AS OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. WE WOULD BE GREAT AT RECRUITING!!!!
Here's my list in order of desire and in tiers
Longshots
1. Jon Gruden (feel like this must be mentioned, or else it's not a true list, lol)
2. Chip Kelly (would be a splash hire, but not all in on him)
3. Bob Stoops (the guy just retired, he's not coming)
4. Lincoln Riley (best upcoming coach in the country, but would never leave Oklahoma)
Much more likely
1. Bobby Petrino (has been on good behavior, hugged the cactus long enough, Louisville is falling apart. Would do well here)
2. Scott Frost (doing good things at UCF)
3. Charlie Strong (Texas was a bad setup from the get go)
4. Rocky Long (dude is old, but has San Diego State running it down people's throats)
5. Justin Wilcox (I'd take him. He's building Cal really well, and was great on defense)
6. Justin Fuente (has VT in the top 20, doing a great job)
7. DJ Durkin (definitely an up and coming coach)
Why would Chip come here? To be run out on a rail in 3 years...CBJ was experienced and had won everywhere he'd been so now we want a higher caliber Hal Mumme type or maybe Guy Morriss? Well, at UK he did almost beat Nick Saban at LSU...almost. But we can't even beat or score on a 2nd year Head Coached team.
