🏈 Pick the next TN Head Coach

[Southern Bama]

I aint got a clue...but if I had to guess.....Bobby Bowden:nana:

 

[Nate]

I withdrew my name before Fulmer did so... idk Bill Curry?

 

[ColoradoTide]

I'm wondering how long before we see bumper stickers saying "honk if you turned down the UT coaching job".

 

[Southern Bama]

If Bobby still wanted to coach....it would bring instant credibility back to the program IMO....They need something big...really big. If Bobby called TN and inquired..,,,,who knows...nothing surprises me anymore.

Mike Price is still a good CFB coach. I assume Tiger Woods is still a good golfer.

Besides, if they are willing to let Ed Orgeron come in there, they should not cull any of them with baggage. Mike Leach, Jim Leavitt, and Mark Mangino all come to mind.

Jim Leavitt. Eat your heart out Alabama!

 

[Bo]

Personally, I think they would be wise to call Mike Leach. I hope they don't, because it might be scary what he could do on offense with SEC caliber talent, but if I were the UT AD, I would have made that call before calling Duraham.

Leach has too many stormy clouds over his head...no way hes the man.

 

[bamadezz]

Leach would be a nightmare for UT to handle. Far as I've read and heard from some of their fans is they DO NOT want Leach.

 

[Southern Bama]

Dan Mullen would be my only other pick.....but he may not want anything to do with it.

Derek Dooley appears to be the man...as of 11:45 a.m. on Friday.

Ruh ro!

In 2000, Dooley was hired by Nick Saban at LSU as the Tigers’ recruiting coordinator/tight ends coach, a capacity in which he served until 2002. Dooley then spent the 2003-04 seasons coaching the Tigers’ running backs and special teams. In 2005, Dooley left LSU with Saban when the latter became head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

Vol fans will not be happy about the hire. Reading on their forums they're already saying they'll be pissed if it'd true.

frankly...i did not think they would offer it to dooley....

 

[Swamptick]

Probably a good hire.

 

[Southern Bama]

i was thinking they needed a bigger hire...but if Dooley is da man...so br it.

 

[ColoradoTide]

Anyone think they'd make a run at Buster Brown at UNA?

If Hamilton hires Dooley then Hamilton sealed his fate and will be unemployed shortly after the hire.

I think his fate's already sealed to be honest. Dead man walking...
