Rule #1: NEVER HIRE a coach...

[FirstAndGoal]

who just got fired (edited: this season) or is about to get fired. :rtfm:

 

[Thorp32]

Or who has a career losing record in the ACC

 

[theFallGuy]

or has lost to Dooley

 

[BowlBrother85]

Wouldn't that also rule out Lane Kiffin and Les Miles? (two of the more popular alternatives on here) Don't get me wrong, I think Doeren is a dud hire.

 

[Thorp32]

Or who has a recruiting clasd that is ranked 6th in the ACC

We seem to have that part down pat

I think you guys should just hire Bobby Petrino and proceed to stomp everybody in the East.

Seeing what he did with Arkansas talent I'm pretty sure he could easily win the East and maybe even the SEC championship in 2-3 years with the level of talent you guys have at Tennessee.

I know he has baggage but he is a proven winner and that baggage might make him more likely to take the job seeing as how most other big schools probably won't give him a chance.

It's worth a try and all he could do is say no.

Or snap from the shotgun 99.5% of the time

No. Kiffin is currently employed and winning big. Les Miles is simply on the sideline right now. I meant just got fired this season like Sumlin or Bielema.

You know we are TN right? We aren’t doing anything reasonable. He should have been interviewed a long time ago. Maybe 5th choice or so. But no. We go after Greg Schiano first thing.

Doeren didn’t take over at NC State until 2013, the year after Dooley beat them

Yeah I see that Tennessee recruiting kind of dropped off some after 2010.
Still better then Arkansas recruiting though.

You guys really need to nail this hire so I say do your best to get Petrino.

East is a lot weaker I would expect him to rack up a lot of wins and help Tennessee football recover from the run of lousy coaches.

Need an AD change too in my opinion.

Les yes, Lane no. He said just got fired.
