Would you be on board with a Cutcliff hire?

[DD4ME]

Curious how VN would feel about moving toward a coaching staff with deeper UT ties versus some more up and coming guys.


I imagine he would want to bring his current staff too which many would be underwhelmed with.

He has already failed in the SEC. We can't risk it.

7 years ago it would have been fine, now not so much.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

No.

100 years old.

He didn’t fail at Ole Miss, 44–29 overall and 25–23 in the sec.

 

[rockydoc]

No.
Too old
Health issues

 

[Biopsyman]

No.. he is already getting retirement checks from Duke

 

[VolFan4Life87]

Way too old

 

[tbh]

I wouldn't be against it, especially if he could mentor a younger position coach to eventually take the reins in a few years...possibly Tee Martin? Neither one would be likely on their own, and even less likely as a duo...but a scenario like that could provide for some good coaching now and continuity down the line.

He got fired and went back to being a coordinator. Call it whatever you feel like.

He got fired for refusing to make changes to his coaching staff, not because he hadn’t done a good job.

To be fair we all say he is too old but we would be on board with Les Miles who is the same age.

But let’s be honest, Miles just doesn’t “seem” nearly as old as his age. I would say he could coach for another solid decade if he wanted.

It's because he eats grass

And we all know now that was huge mistake by Ole Miss, and a huge mistake by us in not hiring him instead of Dooley.

That said he would be a 'no' from me now.

 

[Bearded_Vol]

Nay

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Why would he leave his situation at Duke to come to a high pressure job like UT? Not going to happen.

 

[SobeVol]

he can't be in the game too much longer, i fear that would be a short term fix

Exactly and why give up the hoops tickets?

 

[secking]

Nay

And they regret it to this day. One season removed from their best stretch of winning and one removed from Eli, they made their worst move. As someone said, time was after Kiffin or Dooley. Fulmer had his best success because of Cut.

 

[DERELICK_MY_VOLS]

We might as well hire Phil back and let Cut play OC.....no and no.

 

[fade route]

No.

100 years old.

Leave his kids out of it

 

[k-town_king]

No. He was too old the last time. He is too old now. People need to stop overrating Cut. He would be a 9-3/ 8/4 coach here. He wouldn't have us competing for championships.

Conversation over my head now. I never knew any specifics.

 

[bnhunt]

^^^ This ^^^. We need to at least try to find a long-term solution.

 

[Patterson8040]

Cut would be #1 on my list. Not that old really and a brilliant football coach.
