Prepare for Steele

I HATE this pick. If Fulmer picks him, I'd say Fulmer needs to go for the 2nd time. I wanted to give him a chance. We need Blackburn.

A 1-31 conference record and a last place finish in every season. What makes Fulmer think he's the answer?

Posted in the other Steele thread, but thought I would throw it in here as well.

Am I mistaken or did Steele's defense shut down 2 number 1 ranked teams in a 3 week span? Is Steele my first option, no, however to think he would be a dumpster hire is a pure trash take. The man brought speed to Nebraska in the 90's, had a bad stint at Baylor, had time at Florida St and Alabama, got Clemson's defense turned around and set Venables, then went to LSU, had Auburn's defense looking pretty good this year. Given how poorly UT has played both sides of the ball since Fulmer left, I am firmly on board with Steele.

He's not my top choice, in reality I would love to see them take another run at Brohm, but Steele's recruiting prowess and ability to build a solid defense make him a solid candidate given the current climate at UT. I think this option also allows Tee Martin to come back into the fold as OC HCIW scenario. Tee is not in a position to be a HC, allow him to fully hold the reigns offensively for a couple of years, then reevaluate when the program has stabilized.

Remember folks UT is coming off the worst decade in program history and is at a minimum 2-3 years away from really competing with the likes of UGA/Bama/Auburn. We just went 0-fer in the SEC. UT can certainly do worse. Get your heads out of the clouds. Fulmer knows what he's doing. And don't give me the well he hired Clawson. 1 bad hire in 16 years get out of my face with that junk.

I just want his name to go away.With his record the man shouldn't even be allowed to drive through our state let alone be a candidate for the vols coaching job.I can't believe after the last 3 weeks this is even a possibility it's mind boggling.

Steele is basically Schiano minus the child rape allegations and overall bad attitude.

Terrible hire.

Fulmer deserves to be fired immediately if he does this.

Schiano could coach circles around Steele. Schiano took over a terrible program in Rutgers and made them relevant, got them in the top 20 and to bowls. Steele took over a terrible program in Baylor and did...NOTHING. 1 conference win in 4 years. No way to polish this turd.

On wnml, they said Belicheck couldn’t have been any better at Baylor, I don’t know at this point I’m going to be behind whoever they hire. With T coming in it may be a good combo

Steele was abysmal at Baylor. He once tried running the ball instead of kneeling at the end of a game and his RB fumbled and the defense ran it back 99 yards to win the game.

I don’t see how anybody can be surprised if this happens considering that “come together” video that came out a couple of days ago. Phil thinks anybody that’s been involved with UT’s football program is automatically HC material and that’s a scary thought. Fulmer doesn’t need the kind of power he now has at UT.

All anyone talks about is his HC job at Baylor 15+ years ago. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Baylor was pretty terrible anyways at that point in time. Plus, people can learn and change in 15 years time. Trust Fulmer.

So let him prove he's evolved elsewhere. We don't have the luxury of a project in Knoxville.

Dooley is a Better coach than Steele -If this is the best Tennessee Football can get then the program deserves the Death Penalty - if we Hire a Coach that was 1-31 in Conference Games in a weak Conference I will be Outraged - Davenport could win 1 game in 4 years
