Lot of swings and misses the past 10 years. I can’t think of one since I started following CF in 2003. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Tennessee just wanted Pruitt gone. I would imagine the “violations” that Tennessee found in their own investigation are pretty common place in the SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t understand why they’re mediocre at best. The looming sanctions might make this a less than desirable gig for some of the top names. It’s a pretty well known fact that Tennessee is Hugh Freeze’s dream job, but does he take the plunge considering he might be looking at scholarship limits and a postseason ban for the first two years? Will they be willing to give him the “total control” that the top guys seek now? Will they give him the budget to go get the best staff possible? A lot of questions in this deal.

I saw one article that claims to have inside information (don’t they all?) saying that Bill O’Brien will pass on the BAMA OC job to take the Tennessee HC gig.

Valhalla Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 I don’t get the Tennessee job hype. They have won 2 conference titles in the last 30 years. It is probably the 3rd best job in its own division and 7th best job in its own conference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 If we want to be honest, Tennessee is closer to Kentucky, South Carolina and Missouri then they are Florida and Georgia. Have been for quite awhile now. Butch Jones got them to back to back 9 win seasons in ‘15/‘16 before that is was Fulmer in ‘07. Other than that, it’s been a lot of losing seasons (8) and not so many winning (6) since 2007. Average program even with their so called prestige.

Isn’t this a self investigation? It’s not being done by the ncaa, right?! If so, they’ll prolly do what LSU did and put a small penalty on themselves and appease the ncaa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanGreenDogs64 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 We hired Phil Bennett as our new DC. I think this is a great hire. We score a lot of points, and just need a few stops a game to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenny won't be good with Heupel there, but he'll stick around long enough for them to bottom-out gently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t understand why they’re mediocre at best. I think a large part of it is their inability to hire great assistant coaches. It’s hard to keep up with the big offensive changes in the conference when your OC (Jim Cheyney) appears to be stuck in 1994. That’s just one example of second rate coordinator hires. They’ve broken the bank trying to hire the “next big thing” at HC, so they don’t have the budget for a top notch staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
