If they decide to roll the dice and take a chance on a young up and coming coach, it should be Tee.
With CPF in charge on the hill, Tee will have more support than anyone else. I think Phil will look at Tee like he would his own son and give the very best advice when asked and pointers when he doesn't. Tee can make his own football decisions, it's the administrative part where CFP will be a major asset. The one thing BJ did leave us with is a good program with regards to academics and other organized programs. Tennessee paid big money for this and they should keep what is clearly working. Bring back Antone Davis and other qualified Vols to take care of the ancillary programs so, Tee can focus his main task of developing a championship team. I have no doubt that when the top two guys have the same vision, understand each other, and understand the fan base, the end result will be absolutely remarkable.
Bringing Phil back simply feels right. Hearing him talk again, in an instant, brought back the feelings of having a direction. He's one of us and I think we had lost that feeling of a true Tennessee family. Tee is one of us and hiring him will feel right. Hire a good supporting staff of coaches and he'll be successful.
In Phil we trust. Go Vols.
