we're all putting the cart before the horse !

The AD needs to come out and declare his intent and initiate a search!

Then everything we post is pertinent!

Till then its just a waste of time and energy!

like in Blazing Saddles!

Why would we consider Jimbo Fisher a great hire? What’s their record with all that talent? The guy is way overrated in my opinion. Great recruiter (talent rich Florida) but hasn’t accomplished much to have all that talent.

I think for sure Manning does not belong on any list. Neither does Petrino.

If Gruden has no interest why does he remain silent????? He posturing for ESPN brass or what? If he has any interest in Tennessee, he should let the world know! Butch is gone--Jon owes him nothing!

Kiffin absolutely should be on the short list until the hire is made!

Let me just put this out there, Haslam basically runs UT. Kiffin pissed off a lot of power people at UT on the way out the door. There is absolutely zero chance of Kiffin ever coaching at UT again. That's not opinion, that's fact.

My opinion is Kiffin is a great X's and O's coach. He builds a great staff, recruits really well also. That said he's immature and a high risk hire for whoever hires him. He was fired by Saban for some of these issues before the NT game.

I think Peterson would be interested. I'm no insider but I personally believe hes not happy at Washington and could see him reaching out.

He's my number 1 target if there's any chance, you gotta make a run at him.

he has a child that needs specialized care only available at Washington. Not sure details.

According to Swain two coaches from the power 5 (not on the Vegas odds list) have called about the head coaching job. If we don't land the white whale Gruden, who would you want as the next head coach that's not on the list?
Jon Gruden **+150
Chip Kelly **+450
Jeff Brohm **+600
Bobby Petrino **+600
Mike Norvell **+800
PJ Fleck **+1000
Bob Stoops **+1200
Tee Martin **+1200
Les Miles **+1400
Jim Bob Cooter **+2200
Dan Mullen **+2200
Brian Kelly **+3300
Lane Kiffin **+3300
Peyton Manning **+10000

Houston from James Madison was number 1 on Curries list acvording to this site last night. He is 19-1 and moving toward a second Nat Championship run.

Exactly. Swain has not idea. Pretty clear Currie has this on lockdown. Info is not getting out. Just rampant speculation. Regardless, UT fans know how this is going to go. We've got the last three hires to go by. It will be the same this time around as well. At some point, one would think blind luck would visit UT and the guys making the decisions would finally get one right. My confidence is low, however.

They better get this one right if they want to pay for stadium renovations.

Speaking of Jimmy Sexton, that's really confusing. I'm sure a lot of his guys are up for the same job. How does he not get conflicted? That ESPN article talks about how Hamilton reached out to him after Fulmer was fired and was like "who can I talk too?". He tells him to meet Lane in Atlanta after watching his former client get fired.

As an attorney myself, I’ve wondered this as well...he can’t possibly bargain two of his own clients against one another...that’s going against their best interests...unless the sports agent world ha different ethical rules than legal practice. Seems there would have to be a conflict if multiple clients want the same gig

Gruden or Kelly. Break the bank. It will pay off down the road. Petrino, Peterson, Brohm and Frost are good ones. And I never thought I'd say Franklin would be a good get. That's how desperate I've gotten.

Gruden is the guy....he has to finish MNF through Dec. 25th....it will be announced probably on November 27th with an assembled staff of NFL coaches once Jones is fired on November 26th....we will be an NFL mini-league program like Alabama is now or USC was when Pete Carroll was there....so itso facto Gruden is the $10,000,000 white whale rocking Tennessee orange Power T's on his chest and back.

Probably talking about David Cutcliffe. He's a P5 coach.
