There is no way UT has more resources at hand than Penn State. Penn State is viewed as a 'winner." UT; not so much...

I didn’t say anything about Penn State now did I. I could have swore I said Vandy. You know the school that he coached at when they was good and considered the best team in the State the years he was there.

Tony Elliot might be a good HC at some point, but UT is not the place for him to learn how to be a HC.

We just went through a 3-year disaster of watching Pruitt try to learn on the job, why would anyone think that UT fans should want to do the same again for another three or more years?

Yes it is!

They said they were looking for someone with integrity both in the press conference and during Boyd's KNS interview. I've yet to see anywhere either Boyd or Plowman said we were only going to hire a head coach, let alone a sitting P5 coach. I'd love to see the link to that somewhere.

Plow man said that UT was not a place to train a coach but to come win championship

While that is true, administrators who listen to them end up with a series of poor decisions. Fans are passionate and emotional but if whomever is hired comes in and wins we’ll support that person. Administrators should (emphasis on “should”) have more depth of knowledge about the needs and requirements and should be better able to make a good decision.

I do not disagree that the AD and Administrators should be more knowledgeable on making the hire, but the fans have the right to voice their opinions and coach who gets hired will have the opportunity to silence the naysayers with his performance.

Right, because not wanting to risk another on-the-job training coordinator hire if there is another option, means that the fanbase expects UT to hire a once-in-a-generation coach like Nick Saban.

Yes. That’s the expectation of our fan base who thinks we should be competing for chips every year

Which, I note, is precisely what I said.

While I agree with your comments conceptually, what HC is out there that we can attract? Other than a HC from a smaller school who hasn't faced the week in week out rigors of a Power 5 football schedules?

Kiffin, freeze, les miles, Campbell, leach, and probably many more.

Do you think a coach like Campbell, Fleck, or Franklin would leave a decent situation for what could be a possible career killer?

Why would it be a career killer for an actual.quality coach?

The right leader will figure out whatbhe needs to do and see that ot gets done. Dumpster fire or bed of roses...

We have maybe the most passionate fan base in the country...we also have alot of dumbazzes imo... truth is we are down right now, facing scholarship restrictions and probably a bowl ban, and have to face Florida, Georgia, and Alabama every year when they are on the rise or at the top. It's not as easy as throwing millions of dollars at a proven coach. We could have a very good team and still lose to those 3 and the fan base would be calling for that coach to be fired in year 2-3.....I'd be ecstatic to get Eliott or Fleck as head coach. Clemson football: Some Tennessee fans think they’re too good for Tony Elliott

The sad fact is... if TN could get back to ONLY losing those three... it would by a HUGE upgrade! My, my how bad times are! 🤦‍♂️

Kiffin, Freeze and Leach aren’t possibilities. No idea why anyone in Knoxville would have any interest in Les Miles.
I’d be interested in Campbell, among a couple of others.
