What great coach could we have hired for $8.4 million?

The thing I hate most about this place are the coach worshippers. We are talking about hiring a middle of the road Big 12 coach and paying him more than any coach we have ever had. I swear that we could hire Satan himself and these coach apologists would rave about how great an X's and Os guy he is.

After the fiasco we had Sunday, we should be happy to be able to lure anyone here if Gundy does come. Contrary to what others may think, money is not the end all be all for coaches. Another mil or so isn't as substantial when you are already rich.

If we throw 8 mil at a coach it is to make a statement -- We respect you and believe in you! It tells Gundy that we don't simply think he is another run of the mil mid-level coach, but deserving to be considered top-tier.

He will always be limited at OSU, but at Tennessee the possibility to backup our belief in him are currently present. We have the resources, the money, the talent, the stadium, etc to help him acheive greatness soon. He has already publicly admitted that he won't coach long enough to get OSU to that level (elite status) but can get them closer to it. Do it now with UT!

Well, evidently we couldn't have gotten Mullen. Didn't he just get paid Ten mil a year? Gotta pay to play with the big teams!

Sort of agree. I just hope Gundy's system and style translates well to the SEC. GBO!

Just stop some you wouldn’t be satisfied with General Neyland. If it’s Gundy we need to prove to the nation what we did made a difference and rally behind the new coach.

"General Neyland coached under MB Banks, who came from a MAC school! BUTCH JONES VERSION 0.001!!!!!"
