Who ever they hire has the first two years to get the kids playing. By year three just want to see the kids from year one have drastically improved . Wether they were 1/2 ✨ or 7 ⭐ players.
With Dooley , Jones, Pruitt it was the same 💩 every week , every month, every year.
Kiffin did more in one year than those three did in 12 years combined.

I thought about that but then I read a little more about him. He just seems to have too many ties to the mid-west and doesn't strike me as a guy who wants to come south, seems content being a big fish in a little pond.

Napier on the other hand may see UT as the big program he can build into what his vision is of what a program should be. I would throw a 6-year deal at him with the first two being the lean, rehab years.

Them first two “rehab” years are how it should be honestly. Anybody with a a brain can’t expect much. That was kinda my argument yesterday when asked about Elliot. I kept getting the response of “ Tennessee isn’t a place to learn” and I simply stated, idk why it’s not? Our roster isn’t competing to win Sec titles in the next couple of years. So why can’t they learn for a year two, by the time our roster is in good shape our coach should be as well! The key, is actually learning and not doing the same **** in year 4 as they did on day 1.

In short, I agree with you 😂

I get that, because some of Vol Nation expect the team to be a National Championship contender as soon as the new coach is hired. You, and many others, are realistic about the challenges ahead for our new HC and his staff.

I live and breathe this stuff and it hurts badly to suck lmao, but man sometimes we gotta be logical about what’s going on, and I hate that people wanna bash and run somebody off at the first sight of failure. It’s pretty sickening

Kiffin - Moderate to high risk, very high ceiling. Kiffin has always been about swinging for the fences. I am not in the crowd that would be thrilled with mediocrity. It's all, or it's nothing, baby!

(Next 3 in any order)
Edit: Chris Peterson - Great record as a head coach.
Campbell - Just a successful coach. Don't really know much about him.
Herman - Has moderate success at a currently hard place to succeed (like here). A bit of meh.

Some NFL or successful coach not currently or barely on the radar.

Malzahn - SEC experience. Seems to be getting worse, instead of better. Why? Wouldn't necessarily be thrilled, but hopeful I guess.

Edit: Elliott - Might be another Pruitt. We can do better than a coordinator.

Some of the others being mentioned that are coming from smaller colleges, I just don't know much about. I'm inclined to like a coordinator at a top school every bit as much as those. Certainly, Leipold has the record you would like to see.

Our AD choice kind of came out of nowhere. So, I have a feeling that we could get a big surprise for coach, as well. Luckily, I think we know that answer sometime in the next 3 days.

It’ll be Fleck or Campbell. I’m good with either one.

Ditto, not a big row the boat slogan guy. He did get flipping Golden Gophers to 11-1 that is a vast improvement in player development. That's what I want to see. Improvement every week, every month, and every year.

Malzahn with a different offensive scheme. Been in the sec. Recruited in the sec. Has winning records. Has beat Bama. Has run a clean program.

Nobody knew that Brett Bielema wanted out of Wisconsin until he was announced at Arkansas. I think that was a surprise to everybody. Maybe there is another coach out there in a similar situation that no one is thinking of.
