The Tennessee Athletic Director say yesterday that a coach would be announce in the next several weeks. How he defines several weeks could spur some interesting questions.
For instance if several weeks means what most consider "several" to me (i.e 3-5), the following will be asked.
-Assuming the new head coach is a very recognizable name, which successful program will have their year wrecked in the days to come? Does Texas lose it Defensive Coordinator, and thus the media's favor in a battle to be the best of the 1-loss teams? Does Boise State disappear from serious consideration for the BCS as an unbeaten? Is Tennessee about to throw Saban-like money at Spurrier, Cutliffe, or Davis to change their minds? Or, does this bode well for John Chavis or Lane Kiffin who have to luxury of not wrecking a team's year by taking the job?
-How does this timeline impact what Clemson does, as they too are shopping for the same product/service? Do they pull the trigger faster, so as to not lose a shot at whatever option Tennessee is eyeing? Does this end up crushing two other school's years because Coaches are leaving so early to head to Clemson and Knoxville?
-What about Tubberville? Does this make Auburn more likely or less likely to fire him, knowing that both Tennessee and Clemson are already shopping? What about Tubberville? Does he look more seriously at leaving to back-fill at the schools where Tennessee or Clemson get their coach? With the way agents are tied in with many different coaches, CTT could be have information and options much sooner than most would realize.
These are interesting and heavy questions that touch the college football nation, and it all swings on how the UT AD is defining several.
