Who will be our Saban?

I see some saying Pete Carroll. While its no doubt that he can recruit and coach, he also was at Southern Cal. Talent everywhere you look. He would struggle to attain the level of success here that he attained at USC imo. Another thought is, he like Kiffin, would probably not be very comfortable with the surroundings of being the UT head football coach. Just my two cents worth on Pete.

Here is my dream scenario (If Dooley gets canned)
May be far fetched but I can see it more than I can Pete.
While it does not look promising at this point, lets say that the 49ers tank next season, and Dooley gets flushed. If the 49ers were to fire Jim Harbaugh, could UT get him? He coaches power running and hard nosed D. The job he did at Stanford is unbelievable.

What do you guys think?

 

I think this would be awesome. I think it is about as likely as me replacing Keith Richards in the Stones. But it would be awesome.

 

Harbaugh has job security for a few years in SF.even if they sucked next year.

 

Dooley is laying a bigger egg today with the JUCO's than he did against Kentucky. I thought that was the reason to keep him around another year.

 

I thought about mentioning that. I figured he would get a few more years.

 

Unless something changes drastically, he can tank and probably still win the NFC West for the next 3 years.

As for Carroll, everyone thought Saban at Bama would be short-lived because of the expectations and them suffocating him. He's surived. No reason to think for the right $$$ that Carroll couldn't survive here.

 

DID ANYONE ELSE JUST HEAR THE OTIS JACOBS SIGNED WITH TAMU, just a few days after he verbally committed to us?

 

JUCO can start signing today. Otis Jacobs was a prized JUCO.

 

I will be cheering for the Seahawks to tank next year. I would love to see Pete in Knoxville. Tennessee spends the lowest percentage of its revenue on coaches in the SEC. It's time to stop bargin hunting and spend the money on a quality coach.

It's not like anyone has mentioned anyone better at this point.

 

I don't think there's much better than Pete to mention

 

Only thing that worries me about Carroll is NCAA issues. He wasn't running a clean program at Southern Cal, and I really don't want to live in fear of the NCAA snooping around. Can't really think of any other remotely realistic NFL coach that I'd take first though. If he has the kind of year I'm expecting next year, I'll be on the Charlie Strong bandwagon. His ridiculous youth excuse lasted about four games. And then he just started winning anyways.

 

I'm a fan of Charlie Strong myself

 

The 49ers are more talented and they've got their coach now. I think the Rams rebound with a healthy Bradford and Jackson. They get a top tier pick this year and look out. The Cards are the Cards...

 

After thinking about this some more, I want Chris Peterson. He develops kids, doesn't need 5-star players, and his teams compete.

He is making $900,000 a year. Let's go offer him $4.5 mill and see what he has to say. It's not like another Kellen Moore is walking through the door anytime soon.

 

Dan Hawkins says hi

 

Code:

Who do you suggest we go after?

 

I'll say Al Golden. I believe we could pull him from Miami.

 

Al Golden is the guy I wanted last time around, but unless he has a huge year next year, he's not going to be the hot name that the fans want.

 

Isn't his dream job Penn State? I would hate to get burned by a coach using us as a stepping stone again.
