An NFL guy I'm suprised hasn't considered College HC jobs is Josh McDaniel. Assume he waits for NFL shot again but I think he would kill it as a HC in college game.

I'm with you on this 1000%. Mentioned a few days ago I would love to make him a target for our next coach.

The Haslam's selling Pilot to Warren Buffett today explains why they aren't focused on the coaching change. They have been working on a massive, multi-billion dollar transaction whereby they are selling the majority stake in the company they've built from the ground up over the last 60 years.

Unfortunately for the UTAD, Butch's collapsed has come at a very inopportune time.

Good news is that the Haslam's are about to have an even greater influx of cash.

How does that make this an inopportune time?

It very well could help us. The Haslams can't pick a football coach. Heck, I'm not sure they could pick their brother out of a room full of Chinese men.

Reading who I assume is their major beat writer, he doesn't think he'd turn down Tennessee. Calls it a destination job for someone like Frost who came of age in the 90's.

I'd probably be cool with Frost if we can't pull one of the top guys. The turnaround they've had down there doesn't seem flukey at all.

No, he's not going to quit and he has to speak. But he could have taken a proactive stance. How about "We're committed to winning and that's going to require some changes. We're shaking things up and trying some new things to get going in a more positive direction. We're open to anything that can help us win."

Positive change starts with actually changing things that aren't working. Staying the course has netted 6 embarrassing SEC losses out of the last 8 SEC games. That's a 25% SEC win % in the last year. Does anybody have confidence in staying the course?

You just defined lunacy. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

I think he knows that and accepts it's part of the job. But everyone's human and even if you know in your head it's expected and part of the job it's hard to separate that and keep it from affecting him.

Coaches have a better gig than most, but regardless of what you do constant personal and professional shots are gonna effect you and your family so I do have a tiny bit of sympathy for him.

I agree to an extent, and like I said, the personal attacks are pathetic.

I guess with everything going on in the world, worrying about a millionaire football coach's feelings is way down my list.

And I really hate that I want football season to be over so we can get on with it.

This is my favorite time of year and it has just gone to poop this year. 💩

I think they should throw Butch in as part of the deal.

He's had quite the career to be so young. Played for Bill Walsh, Tom Osborne, Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick. Coached both on offense and defense. Won a national championship at QB with Nebraska but played Safety in the NFL.

On way home from work yesterday, John Adams was on Finebaum talking potential coaches. They were just throwing names out and not saying he had heard anything particular.

Adams threw out the idea that if say JBC was the guy that he has two former college Hcs on lions staff in Ron Prince and Al Golden. So instantly you have potentially your HC with Prince as OC in title only and Golden as DC. I thought that was an interesting scenario. prince is an OL guy most of his career. Golden until his current job was always a D.C./LB coach. What two things need fixing? Our OL and LBs.

Tennessee is a better job than Nebraska but if we hired him I'd at least be a little concerned that he'd always have the Huskers in the back of his mind. We'd have to slap a pretty serious buyout on him.

You can’t “slap” a buyout on a hire...they have to SIGN it. He would have no reason to. He’s bound for Nebraska.

You keep mentioning Fuentes but why on Earth would he leave VT to come to UT? He just got there and while UT would be a step up it wouldn't be a huge one, certainly not enough to risk a place that will put up with you for ages for our rabid fanbase.

Pretty sure I read where he isn't making Much at all there.

I agree it would have to substantial raise to make it happen

The 2009 version of myself is shocked that the guy with the funny name who just got arrested for breaking into some woman's house in his underwear could potentially be our next head coach.

I don't understand why Chip Kelly is not realistic.

South Carolina hired Steve Spurrier after the Redskins. You are telling me that because people thought we were going to hire Jon Gruden and they were let down, now we are not capable of hiring a good coach. Gruden was never going to takeover an FCS talent level football team when he is doing color commentary for MNF. This is much different from the Chip Kelly situation.

Hiring the right coach is all about timing, if Tennessee is the best job available at the end of the season, why would Chip Kelly not be interested? We can blame Dave Hart, but the reality was our options were very limited after Dooley. Charlie Strong was a big name at the time and we came up short.

Johnny Majors and Phillip Fulmer coached here forever, so its kind of unfair to say UT wont hire a big name coach. Kiffin was a big name in 2009, Dooley was an embarrassing hire and we should have hired Cutcliffe. Charlie Strong was a big name, we just missed in 2013 mainly because we hired Dooley.

Crazy world. We had a man honored that exposed himself to a female trainer this past weekend as well.

College aged kids do crazy things. It's just life

My only glimpse of hope lies in the fact none of us know how Currie will respond

It's not just Currie. We need the other people that matter to be fed up with the last 10 years. We need those people to be 100% devoted to winning and realize the positive effect that will have on everything else at the university.
