That will accomplish nothing and I quite frankly don't care about how our fan base is perceived anymore. Protesting and getting involved in social media is exactly what we need to do again if they try to pass this through.

So to ensure i understand you correctly you are saying we should protect and directly contact a former vol and tell them they are not wanted here? And that act will eventually pay off for us and help us reel in a big time coach? Is that your position?

Steele is similar to Schiano in that we can't hire him due to the optics. If we add him, the only story will be his abysmal record as a head coach, accentuating the perception that we couldn't hire anybody good. Instead, we had to take an alumnus who totally bombed as a head coach.

Yeah its all the fanbase. They are the reason Tennessee Football has hit bottom. Coaches dont want fans like us, they want quite fans that dont care if they win or lose. You might think the fans are all the problem but there would be no football program without them. Your right the fans needs to show their "displeasure" by stopping the funding of a program that could care less for there supporters.

Are you that simple minded to believe everything revolves around one single issue?

Schiano IS a better coach, there is no debate. Still don't want either one of them though.

Steele wouldnt be my top choice either. But thats were we are. And the fact that we have fans wanting to repeat the actions on Schiano day and then repeated with Doeren is shameful. What an absolute embarrasment to our fanbase.

It’s not an embarrassment. It’s being sick of slop. Proud of the fan base.

Passed on Leach and Brohm, among others for this guy. I know he's a UT guy and that's great, but damn, good luck selling this one to this fanbase.

Brohm was never near as close as what was being reported originally.

I think I'd ok with Steele considering. At least if we go mediocre we go with a VFL that wants the job for more then a raise

I agree with being proud of our fan base. It is just like the 2016 election. People are just tired of it. I really hope people will boycott buying season tickets if it is Steele. That would be the best protest.

Painting the Rock seems to get the Message Out- A photo is worth a thousand Words- Most Students not going to be Happy with Hiring a Coach with a 1-31 Conference Record... No Experience better than Terrible Experience

You don’t paint the rock to trash one of our own, regardless.

To be fair he has been under a ton of very successful coaches after his Baylor stint..and he has done pretty well. With the right coordinators it might be alright. I could't even find any information on the coordinators he had at Baylor (it was that bad).

Hate it, but I agree with this. My son went through the recruiting process and while the school and position coach were important, confidence in the head coach and direction of the program was big. How do you have faith in a career coordinator nearing 60 being able to take a program to competing for championships? One would think he'd have made the jump back to a head coaching position long before now despite the Baylor debacle....if he were head coach material. At his age, it's hard to have hope that a younger, up and coming coordinator would at least give to the fans. If I'm Cade Mayes or Martinez, I'm looking at Steele vs Frost or Smart and I'm pretty sure where my greatest chance of success and title opportunities will be.

Maybe Fulmer is interviewing him to gauge HS interest in returning to UT as a DC? Surely Fulmer isn't going to pull the trigger on this. Just can't be Steele.

Good point about Mayes and Martinez. No chance of either of them coming with this lineup. Mayes was already ignoring chances at titles for Tennessee. Once we gave him reason to give up playing for his home town team for titles, we are offering nothing to change that.

You need to get over this. That was a long time ago and no one won at Baylor until Art Briles built it up. Winning at Baylor is akin to winning at Vandy. It's a private Baptist University for crying out loud. What do you expect?

Dave Clawson’s winning at Wake Forest...

It can be done.

Steele’s a risky move with a fan base that has rightfully lost all patience, and now hope.

Might as well go to all chairback seating in Gen. Neyland. That way you have an excuse to take 25,000 seats a year out of service. No empty sections.

Ugh!

GBO!!
