If we just hired Derek Dooley, scratch us from the top 10 of coaching jobs.

USC, Texas, Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Alabama, Penn State, Miami, Michigan. Tennessee is probably 10-13. We need to change that though... Soon! Lets all join this Dooley train, and ride it into Titletown!! Go Vols!!

I think you have Penn State to high.

Also I would say LSU is better job now than Tennessee. Maybe.

Oregon may be getting up there to with all that Nike money flowing. I think if I took off orange glasses I may have Oregon higher than us.

Notre Dame and Florida should switch spots.

Right now there's no way we're a top 10 coaching job:
- Roster very depleted of talent
- Tough SEC schedule particularly in 2010 with Oregon
- Poor recruiting base which means UT must work relatively much harder to try to stay even with UGA, LSU, UA, UF

If the next HC can get this program back in the top 20 consistently and top 10/BCS periodically with NFL prospects on the roster then we can talk about this being a top 10 job.

Too many of us fans are delusional.

15. Tennessee


This is at current. Tennessee is hurting majorly for talent. We're losing most of our offensive line, QB, RB, DT, LB, SS. Major rebuilding project. We have to play Georgia, Florida and Alabama every year. Our OOC is pretty rough (with major Big-12 teams coming up). 3 weeks before signing day... in which Tennessee has to recruit over the entire nation. Notice a trend in most of those schools in the Top 10?


This is far from an ideal situation to hire a person that can pick and choose between other top destinations. Tennessee is easily, in my mind, a Top 10 Program. That doesn't mean the job reflects that especially with the situation an incoming coach would be thrown into. Tennessee can easily get back to where the job does reflect the Program... but we're quite a way away from it. Besides... if the coach is too timid to take this job but took it anyway failure is guaranteed.

We hate to admit it, but we needed a guy like Lane Kiffin and we know it. That's why him leaving p#&$ed us off. If Dooley keeps Chaney, Kippy, Cregg and Thompson on the staff I think we'll be okay with good chance for success especially if Saban and Meyer move on in 3-4 years and with Richt possibly looking at the same.

turned down USC before they went to the Kiffer? Other coaches turned down AL before they waived enough money at Say-bear so it's a matter of opinion, of course.

I think the Vols are going through the same thing the Buckeyes went through after firing John Cooper. Several people turned down an interview with the Bucks. They ended up hiring a very qualified but little known coach out of Divison I-AA named Jim Tressel and it's worked out very well. I think the same will happen for Tennessee. The program is bigger than the coach with it's history and tradition. That will continue the same way it has in Columbus, Ohio, IMO.

But there is one small difference that coach from the small school was a winner he was the elite coach from his level of play

Everyone shoots up the list when they become successful. Bama had quite a few rejections before getting Saban.

USC is not a top ten job after the NCAA gets done with them next month. As soon as they out from under the NCAA's thumb Kiffin will be history, if not before.
