And from what I understand, it was Tuberville's decision to resign... he simply didn't trust the AD.

You're right, I forgot about that.....But at the same time, I think it was one of those things where he had been there so long that they didn't want to fire him, a force out maybe?

I don't blame him though for wanting to resign if that's the case(saying it wasn't a force out, not disagreeing with you:peace2:)I wouldn't trust someone that would fly to another school to talk to a coach after I just had 14-0 season a year or so before

just a thought...think South Carolina would consider Fulmer...it is hard for me to see someone like Tuberville going there, since it seems to be so hard to win there.

Orgeron makes more than most coordinators. Monte will never coach anywhere else, he will retire from here as long as his son stays around.

The others? I don't know. I personally think that Gran will be offered a high paying spot somewhere in the next couple of years though.

I really hope that Tubbs doesn't go to South Carolina. I know that SC is a loser school, but Tubbs has the knack for getting alot out of the talent that he has.

I don't want to lose some of these coaches either, but how many people that didn't want to lose Chavis are now saying "Thank goodness for Monte!" No matter how good some of these coaches have been, are, or will be, there will always be someone as good or better to replace them should the opportunity arise.

Then Fulmer certainly will not go there. SC has no winning tradition at all, and it would be difficult for anyone to win even an SEC title there.

Fulmer would only go to a place like ND, Miami, FLorida State, ect............a place that he can easily top the recruiting rankings at, which means that he can win more easily.

Funny thing is that two of the three schools you mentioned had no winning tradition 30 years ago and were closer to being dropped than becoming a contender.

After the Petrino incident, he had it put in his contract that he would be gone (with his full contract money) if they contacted another coach like that again. Enter Houston Nutt.

If we become the USC of the South under CLK's command, then there would be constant coaching changes. Of course that would also indicate that we're pretty damn good.

Exactly. Besides, if/when Kiffin gets us back to the top, finding quality replacements shouldn't be too difficult when we lose an assistant to a head coaching job.

Gran will be first to leave. Although, I think he will make a great HC at a D1 school, he may have other opportunities first. I think coach O will eventually take Monte's place (3-5 years?). or take another HC after time here. Although, Monte may never leave the school. We should enjoy the moment...

Won't be FL St. Jimbo Fisher is replacing Bowden.

I think Gran will be the 1st to go, then Cregg. Coach O and Monte are here for good IMO.

The only way I see anyone leaving in the next couple of years is if they don't do good. But I think they will do good. Also if Peyton retires and comes to UT as a quarterback coach but IF that happens its probably 5 years from now.

I don't see Peyton even coming back as head coach after having the career in the NFL that he has had, much less a QB coach. I see Peyton as a commentator. He has already proven he likes the camera, but thats just my speculation.

i agree, but he's so ocd with his preparation he'd be a great teacher of the game. i think its a huge dream of a lot of us vol fans to see him roaming the sidelines someday. if Lane has the success we think he'll have, though, i would love for him to stick around 10-15 yrs.

Monte Kiffin will not go anywhere. I have family that represents him and can confirm that he is a vol until the end of his career. However, assuming he does not retire in a few years, allowing coach O to take over as DC, coach O will be gone. yes, he makes more than some DC but he is too good of a recruiter and coach to be saddled with the D line job for too long. Also, don't be shocked if we lose Gran/Wilson on the offensive side of the ball. Both are relatively younger coaches, but are exceptional recruiters and have high energy, which could lead them to becoming a OC somewhere down the road. Kiffin has assembled a great staff, but the problem with a great staff is that others will come lerking when we start becoming more and more successful...

It wouldn't surprise me if Fulmer goes to Vandy cuz he coached there and plus he'd still be in TN, pending on if Bobby gets fired or resigns. A guy I seeing SCjr going after is Charlie Weis. He got his Master's from SCjr. I don't believe he'll get fired this year cuz of his schedule but possibly after 2010, pending what Spurrier does. I don't Spurrier coaching much more. The game is passing him up and you can tell by watching SCjr. that it kills him cuz he doesn't put up the points like he did at FL. The state of SC produces enough talent to win games, but you must be Clemson to win those recruits.

Another point if CLK does phenomenal in 3 or 4 years @ UT and IF he takes another coaching job, you guys think Orgeron will follow him or you think CEO will take his place as the HC. Of course there's a slim to 0 chance he'll leave (unless he's fired) in that amount of time. I wouldn't be real comfortable in Orgeron acting as HC. I just hope that if CLK has alot of success that USC doesn't come calling when Carrol steps down. But I don't see anything happening in this paragraph take place anytime soon.

fulmer is never going to be offered a head coaching job at a prominent football program again.

there's just no other way to say it.

he can get a gig, but it won't be a relevant gig.....ever.

Longtime reader, first time poster, so please be gentle.

I understand the points made to a certain extent about this coaching staff, especially in regards to Gran and his relationship with Tuberville--who will be a head coach of a good football program sooner rather than later. However, a few things need to be kept in mind, some of which have already been mentioned: 1) CLK took less money so that he could pay his assistants better than other programs. Therefore, it will be difficult for some schools to match and surpass the money the assistants get here at UT when the other schools' head coaches are making exorbitant money and UT has the luxury of a head coach who took less to assemble the staff. Money, after all, talks. 2) This staff has yet to win a single football game. While I am very excited about the direction of the program and believe in the potential of the staff to bring championship football to UT again, potential means it has happened yet. Thus, I think it is somewhat premature to discuss the pending disintegration of this staff since success will be the best catalyst to these coaches getting other jobs (of course, a lack of success, which is unthinkable, also could lead to this same end). Regardless, I think Gran, as the lowest paid member of the staff and given his ties to Tuberville, may leave sooner rather than later. At that juncture, CLK and MH will have to figure out what to do about the new offer. The rest of the staff will be wooed when and if success is attained here at UT.

the Vols, he could be the first to go. If LK succeeds here, he'll definitely get NFL offers. I'm sure getting back to the NFL fairly quickly is a goal of his.
