He's been around UT football for a bit now. His college coaching experience and record are not much different than some of the other guys we're looking at. Why not give it a go and see how he does? If he does well, we extend the contract. I bet he'd be cheap and besides, the fire around all this would have died down by the time we have to make a more permanent offer to him or someone else. Does anyone know how the Tennessee players feel about him?

Disclaimer: This is not an endorsement. I don't know much about the guy. Just wondering why his name is not bantered around. Not everyone loved the Fulmer choice when Majors was let go.

What about having receruiting classes ranked in the 50s for two years? It'd be like self imposed sanctions basically

If yoIre going to promote someone then roll the dice on Shoop (who planned on getting a head coaches job before his defense imploded last year under the deluge of injuries - which happens when you fire the S&C coach and take a year off from the gym.

No or small raise from current million dollar salary but add lots of bonus incentives for performance.

Hoke is only coach in UT history that is winless and I’d just as soon it stay that way. He can stay on as DL coach but that’s all he earned at this stage (and that is just for a year to save money on another buy out)

How about we just implode the stadium and build more parking garages in its place. That would make just as much sense and it would save a lot of us from future chest pains.

If the University doesn't care anymore about sports than this, they should go DIII and be done with it.

edit: my previous suggestion was a knee jerk reaction, i clearly DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN! however, it WOULD be better than signing a long term deal with some hack that we will be paying a buyout to in 3-5.
