Gundy, Kelly, Sumlin... the cat from Missouri, the Texas Tech guy... switch them around and throw them in a bowl... it doesn't matter... same type of football. If you want a few wins in the East, they can probably give you a few of those by year 2 you will start to realize... hey, this doesn't work against the good defenses. Then by year 4... you'll be blaming the defensive coordinator... than by year 5, you'll actually start watching the game and you'll think... maybe this offense isn't so great... by year 6.... you'll be calling for the head coaches job because you just realized you been sold fools gold.

Who do you suggest?

 

[Honky]

He will turn it down

Nope

 

[FORDMAN]

All the protest against coach’s that still have a job but everybody is all in for a coach that just got fired. LORD HAVE MERCY ON US!!

 

[preacherwebb]

Good recruiter. Good offense. Needs a quality d-coordinator though. If he came, bring Kevin Steele in as DC and let's roll!

sumlin + steele would be hard to turn down as a fan.
imo.

I think he'll do fine

Sumlin & Chief to the Hill!
I can at least get behind this.

Get Sumlin (HC) in here. Chavis (DC) hasn't been great lately but maybe coming home would put a spark under him. Make Fulmer or Blackburn the AD and all of this mess will have been worth it. Lets get some Tennessee blood back in here.

Not counting Ole Miss, which actually Freeze was a good coach... I would put him last in the West. He beats the East teams and Arkansas.

So, you really think Luke, Oregon, vacant Ark , Penn st assist at MSU, are better than Sumlin? I'd give the edge to obviously Saban and Malzon bUT that's it. Also, Sumlin has beaten those teams lately and we havent.

 

[Tha Don]

No. Mullen plays real football.

If by real football you mean run the qb draw 20x a game and rely on great defensive coordinators, yes he does. I won't derail the thread. My apologies Freak

 

[preacherwebb]

If you want to go 4 and 4 in the SEC, the hire sumlin.

to get a gauge on how sumlin may do at UT, look at his record vs the east and bama.

overall, while at a&m, he was 9-3 against the east (played uf, ut, mz, sc, vandy) and 1-5 vs bama.

that's 10-8 and 56%.

bout the same as mullin was vs the east and bama.

EDIT: 3-3 vs Mullen

 

[Vol4ever]

Nope

I'm for him, just don't think he will take it.

not sure he'd be worth what we'd have to pay him.
not sure how i feel about this truthfully.

EDIT: 3-3 vs Mullen

He was 1-11 versus Alabama and LSU, heck even against Mississippi State he was only 3-3. He basically got wins against the SEC West team that was down and out on any particular year and he beat up on East teams. LSU fires their coach, its still a scrimmage game. Its not really even football.

Some people never learn. Unless Sumlin learned a lot from his previous experience, this is a bad hire.

 

[GoGoVols]

Since he is currently unemployed, we know he can't use us to get a pay raise like all the other coaches we approached!

 

[VolFan4Life87]

If hired here would he be Tennessee’s first African American head football coach?

 

[UT_King]

Dont want.

 

[LSU-SIU]

Yes he can, he doesn't have to seek employment, and he is due a lump sum of $10m within 56 days from Texas A&M.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Who is his agent?

Sexton.

What is your take on Sumlin. Yeah or nah?

 

[LSU-SIU]

Yes, and the first flag football coach to get a job there as well.

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

I’m good with him. I’ve always liked him.

Hope we can close this deal.

All we need him to do is beat up on east teams. We can figure the rest out later.

 

[FBtime]

Nope

That's not real. Yes Sir remark from another tweet.

 

[LSU-SIU]

You'll figure it out just like it took time for TAM fans to figure it out - its fool's gold.

Hire the Missouri coach, cost half as much... same stupid football.

If this is the route we are taking, then offer Tee.
