Talking to a feller the other day and he said that Bill Cowher had expressed interest in returning to the college game and he likes being in TN

sounds like that feller needs to get himself to a meeting since he might have a drinking problem.

I am on the Butch Davis wagon as well. I do think Gruden would be a great fit too. It is time for Hamilton to swallow hard and do whats right. Bama figured it out. and now look at it's program. Seriously Mike, do the right thing and bring the program back to the loyal fan base, and quit the corporate glad-handing and back-slapping.

Butch Davis is the best we can get. But we better start this soon. Or he may be gone especialy if it keeps getting worse in Auburn.

I guarantee you Davis isn't leaving NC. He already has that program on the upswing. We need to go after Brian Kelly. He is a great coach and would be relatively easy to pull from Cincinnatti. We need to get him before someone else does. Muschamp should definitely be in the conversation with Kelly also. Either would suit me fine.

My dream choice is Mike Leach. But, Mike Leach is a weird sack so I doubt he would survive the interview. Did you see him in the post game interview yesterday? Have you seen his bizarre pirate obsession? Still, I would love to watch that offense in orange.

My second choice would be Brian Kelly. He's won at all the programs he's been at which is a big must for me.

Butch Davis is a good choice also but I honestly think UNC will open their wallets to keep him and the ACC is there for the taking if he sticks it out.

I don't wan Muschamp because he hasn't been a head coach, and I don't want Lane Kiffin because he failed as coach of the Raiders (see Bill Callahan). I'm not saying those guys won't end up being good head coaches, I'm just saying I want to minimize the risk and they are definitely risky choices.

Todd Graham is another interesting idea, but he would be farther down my list because he hasn't had sustained success yet.

Bill Callahan ruined the Raiders after taking over one of the NFL's better programs. Lane Kiffin started the rebuilding process Art Shell and Norv Turner failed. There are about 30 guys I'd take over Mike Leach. Not running the ball won't fly in the SEC.

I highly doubt that. The Tennessee fan-base gives the coaches a chance.

No, it's true. I remember coach Majors called them the legions of the miserable. In fact, a lot of the same people who wanted Majors fired back then now trash Phil because they think he connived to get rid of Majors.

Like I said, Kiffin may turn out to be good college coach. But he hasn't shown me he is yet. He lost with the Raiders, rebuilding project or no, and he was merely a cog in the machine at USC. So on my list he's behind the guys who are proven winners like Leach and Kelly.

And I'll have you know that Texas Tech is averaging over 100 yards per game rushing right now, to go with their over 400 yards per game passing. They actually have more rushing yards than we do, both through 6 games. To me, it's the perfect approach. The rest of the conference is recruiting the bulldozing lineman and we're falling behind. Lets get the lean agile guys they get and toss it around.

The last time Texas Tech played an SEC defense their vaunted O put up a 6 points. Leach has only one season thus far where he's lost less than 4 games. That's in the Big 12. He's far from a proven winner.

They scored 10 actually, and that was his worst team at Tech. And the Big 12 is not the Sun Belt, in fact it's better than the SEC this year. And he's 2-1 against SEC teams overall. And Leach has never had a losing season as a head coach (more than you can say for UT's last 3 coaches). And, thats all I got.

Texas Tech hasn't had a losing record since 1992. They play in a horrible conference. Doing better than Phil Fulmer's recent years doesn't make you a phenom.

Mike Leach would be a disastrous hire. He is 3-13 against OU and Texas. That isn't a proven winner.

Not it isn't. OSU, Missouri, and Kansas=frauds who haven't won a big game.

I don't know this Matt Leach, but Mike Leach is at Texas Tech, not exactly USC. There are not many coaches who could do what he's done there and they're at least fun to watch if nothing else.

Yeah. Instead of Florida beating us 59-20, they would win 79-27.

No, and I believe Gruden would be another disaster.

Gruden winning percentage isn't even that much lower than Leach's, and Gruden is in the NFL. Gruden also has a super bowl ring. If an AD hired Leach when Gruden was willing, he wouldn't be in charge much longer.
