Mike Leach doesn't put a defense on the field an would be eaten alive in the SEC.

Reference recent bowl games via SEC opponents - TT lost them.

You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO right. Phil Fulmer is sittin' up in Maryville tonight laughing his ass off.

And he should be!

Yea, he is laughing after a good `ol country dump!

[Guest GenNBForrest]

Hear Orgeron is telling the early enrollee's not to go to class tomorrow. This couldn't have come at a worse time. I hope California slides off into the ocean next week!

Yea, that's a low blow...................

I AM DYIN' LAUGHING!

Hamilton needs to take his ass down to Texas with a blank check and bring Muschamp back on the jet with him. We dont need anymore old blood in Knoxville. Muschamp or Peterson are the only ones I would be happy with. But thats just my .

[Mark A]

1- Fire Hamilton

2- Hire Phil as the new AD

3- Hire Chris Peterson

^^^^^^^^^

this.

I don't know if Phil has the negotiating experience needed to do the AD job but at a minimum he could be the director of football operations or something.

If nothing else, they need to temp him and send him out on the recruiting trail. He might be able to salvage a few with his settling presence.

Anyone ever truly wonder how much of his coaching prowess is his Dad and not him?

Seems UT did not write a strong enough contract.

Good Riddance to bad rubbish.

So this will set UT back, what, 2 years tops?

[Alpha7]

Say it with me

Muschamp, Muschamp, Muschamp, he is our man we need him.

We were warned:

Kiffin weasels out at Tennessee, lands in Hollywood | Comcast.net

"Back in October 2007, the media jumped to call Al Davis everything from "crazy" to "senile" when the Raiders owner fired Kiffin under the most bizarre circumstances imaginable. With an overhead projector exhibiting a hand written letter he had penned to Kiffin, Davis referred to his then 32-year-old coach as a "flat-out liar" and said he was guilty of "bringing disgrace to the organization."

On June 8, 2009, the Raiders organization issued a statement about Lane Kiffin's hiring at Tennessee. The statement read: "Lane Kiffin is a flat-out liar. He lied to the team, he lied to the fans, and he lied to the media. He will try to destroy that university like he tried to destroy the Raiders."

At the time it was released, the media viewed it as nothing more than sour grapes. In hindsight, Davis was right on the money. Once a weasel, always a weasel."

They are scrambling now aint they? Too bad, Gruden might have, never mind....

Depends on the hire.

Every hire is a risk unless it's a proven coach.

If even half of that information is accurate, Gen. Neyland has been spinning in his grave for the last 14 months.

[Mike.357]

they are gonna make a run at Leach.

Why is Muschamp such a hot commodity? Has he ever been a head coach?

Taking a chance on that is a real risk imho. Find someone who is a proven winner as a head coach.

Precisely why I said that "Wild Man" Mike Leach is the man for the job

[Guest Jcochran88]

Leach will be nothing but trouble, I mean come on can he even win in the sec?

[brooksjr]

I couldn't pass this up

Ha Ha - Nelson

I know y'all would give it to us bama fans if it happened on our end. As a matter of fact most of you probably did when Fran left for A&M.

[Mike.357]

personally I think they are going to take the first person they can get. Not going to be much of a proper search.

I cannot think of one person out there for who UT would be their dream job. Certainly not one who would be ideal from UT's point of view. So whoever they do get is likely to leave in circumstances similar to Kiffen quitting.

Signing day is very close, a lot of possible candidates are not going to want to make a move now after all their work where they are at.

I do not think Leach is even close to the answer.

[Jasongar8]

Thanks, but no thanks on Leach. I don't want him anywhere near The Hill.

[turkeydad]

I think they would be better off allowing Kippy run the thing until you find who they want... and it needs to be someone with ties to TN. Hell give Kippy a one year deal and see what he can do. . .

Leach is a nutcase. He is the NCAA football version of Voldemort.

Chris Peterson!
