Who do You Want?

For me it's not that, it would be continuing to see our talent level rise and performance stagnate, all while knowing there's nothing that will get the son of a [itch bay] fired.

 

I remember a VQ article of all the possible coaches we could hire. I don't think they were even listing Gruden as a possibility, but there were seven or so coaches listed. I swear I remember thinking Butch was the worst. I was just dumbfounded when we hired him. Basically had all of 2012 to prepare for the transition and we get a bunch of public no thank you'd followed by Bortch.

 

That describes me perfectly.

 

Empty seats.

He's not going to continue recruiting this well if he's not winning games

 

And that's why I don't understand VN... They don't seem to get this.

 

Yep.

 

The Chokelahoma loss did it for me.... I'm done with Lyle.

 

This thread begins and ends with one name. Jon Gruden

 

2012 all over again. I'm going to wear the print off of my F5 key.

 

You have perfectly described the next coaching search.

 

Working with the assumption that Butch misses a bowl, gets fired and takes Hart with him, what are the odds that Gruden would come to Tennessee for the next search?

 

It's not been to hard to read the tea leaves. Gruden says twice in the last few months Tennessee is a dream job and Peyton Manning talks being quarterback coach. It's really easy to see even from 185 miles away.

 

If this was possible, Butch could win out and UT should still fire him.

 

Are you trying to make me have a waking wet dream at work?

 

I'm just wishing out loud. I have no inside info. The closest I got to that is the guys that know things here.

 

I don't know anything insidey or what-not either.

 

I don't have a clue about hiring. I just want the people pulling the strings to care about our school again. I want a coordinated effort to make us relevant again.

I have a fantasy that the Harbaugh hire lit a fire under these jokers as to what can be done.

 

I still believe any thought of Manning being a coach is a fantasy, but I wouldn't mind being wrong. He'll likely be in the booth somewhere. He'd make a great color guy on MNF.

 

I like the way you think here. I need my own fantasy that doesn't see us hiring someone like Larry Coker.
