The emphasis was on getting a good recruiter because of the pile Dooley left and Bama was pulling in #1 recruiting classes. Charlie Strong left us at the alter. Butch was Hart's 2nd choice.

With perfect 20/20 hindsight, who would have been a better choice post Dooley?

I think the mistake was made in 2010. Instead of settling for Dooley we should have named Kippy interim. That would have given us a year to find the right guy to take the reigns permanently.

James Franklin or Gary Patterson.

Too bad UTs AD pissed off Patterson by passing him up when he was interested.

Franklin.

I kinda thought the wins at Vanderbilt were somewhat of a fluke. A product of walking into a couple of the better players Vandy had ever had and an East that was abysmal. But his job at PSU definitely shows he is due a ton of credit.

In 2010, Franklin was the OC of a team that just went 2-10. Nobody was looking at him.

Fuente.. Hands Down, Next would have been MTSU Coach,Rick Stockstill. Laugh if you want but dude can flat out evaluate, coach, and develop players.. Would love to see what he could have done if he had access to National recruits like Tenn can get..

Exactly... They went panic mode when Troy Calhoun said no and Hamilton started texting Derek Dooley.
