Who could we hire if we were looking for coach now?

[Enki_Amenra]

If we kept Pruitt until now, we'd probably still be hiring Heupel, as he wouldn't have left UCF last year.

 

[Volizona]

Too bad we have Heupel now I really think we could land Schiano this time around.

I honestly don’t think any coaches, available or not, could have done better than Heupel this year and that includes Saban . - he hasn’t had to really coach in years.

Why is everyone roasting OP? He’s just asking a “food for thought” question. Some of y’all just like to jump all over people to try and be “witty”… just answer the question or move on.

OP… in my opinion, if we were in that position we’d be taking a hard look at Billy Napier. Maybe Chadwell too, but I get the feeling Chadwell is going to take a position at a lower level P5 team like Franklin did and give the big boys fits.

I don’t think we would look at Mullen like we did last time.

[BanditVol]

Ha. He would probably crawl over broken glass to get another coaching job.

 

[Pride85]

We have some of the strangest “fans”.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Half the goons on this board are losing their mind because both Gruden and Mullen are now available. The other half will lose it when Kiffin and Freeze make moves in a week or so.
GBO!!

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Have we given Heupel an extension, yet?

 

[Capt Straight]

Who sits around and thinks of these stupid threads? How about we focus on keeping Heupel!

The problem here is that when you’re stupid, you don‘t know that you are.

I suspect the OP, like many of us, is suffering initiating effects of our air, water, and soil pollution. The first symptoms are demised cognitive ability and verbal drunken stumbling. Then there's looking for reasons to imagine misery where and when you have no motivation or desire to experience it. We need to take better care of our environment before such effects are irreversible.

Naw, I don't know a thing about music. Just wanted to see if I could make the symbols. And trying to save face for the OP. Love helping my fellow Vols fans.

I just wonder who we could have hired if we had an opening this year instead of last year. More difficult market? Would our current coach be available considering ncaa issues? There sure are a lot of good to great jobs available. God, the thought that Fulmer might still be making the hire. What a nightmare.

Last year was actually a great year to hire a coach. We were in terrible spot, much of which has been self created over the last 10-15 years, but there is no way we'd be a more attractive job than LSU, FL, USC, etc.

I resemble that!

Why?

 

[ClockworkOrange]

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;—
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!

 

[RockyTop140]

I was in the same boat as you. I never wanted him. Yet there are some around here who thinks he is a top 5 HC.

I wanted him at the time. Thank goodness I don’t make the decisions. Don’t think he’s a bad gameday coach, but his recruiting is pathetic for being the HC at Florida.

 

[branchvol]

Geez, I believe this is top 3 stupidest threads of the century!!! Really Geez!!!

He is a bad game day coach.

This guy is available again for all the folks that said I was crazy for not wanting him.

I got the same feedback

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

This time last year, when it was apparent we had ANOTHER season of Pruitt led apathy, my despondent answer wouldn’t have been realistic enough. I truly believe this job would have been beyond toxic.

The ironic thing about all this is that the NCAA investigation forcing the changes may have been the best thing that could have happened to the program.

I believe Fulmer would have kept giving Pruitt more rope before admitting he made a bad hire and moving on.

 

[LordBolton]

I hear Dan Mullen's available!

 

[UTblood4life]

Be happy with this yr

 

[dustyrhodes]

Sadly, most would have taken him over JH in a heartbeat. Talk about a star that crashed.
