🏈 Tennessee is hiring UCF’s Josh Heupel as its next head football coach,

[OldPlayer]

The thing is I don't think any UT player want to become the HC. Hasn't Tee Martin been in coaching for awhile now?

I don’t think Shula WANTED to be Alabama’s HC but he stepped up when they needed somebody. Where’s Peyton?

In Peytonsville, doing insurance commercials.

I hope their roster only has walk-ons when the dust settles!!!!

 

[bama alum]

That's a cry for Peyton Manning to charge.

I want to say that I saw a tweet from Tee Martin, stating he would do everything he could to become the next HC at UT.

Successful HC.

Fleck should stay as far away from Vileville as he can get but egos and $$$ talk.

Tony Elliot is the guy in their crosshairs this weekend.

Tony Elliot is the guy in their crosshairs this weekend.

Might be ...lots of chatter....
......But....
You really think they will do another coordinator?
They have steele....
I dont know....seems next HC needs to be strong admin types...
You know..to guide the boat through rough waters

 

[rick4bama]

As long as those power to be stay away from Bama coaches, former ones, and any that are thinking of becoming one!

Be assured...they have had enough bama to last them a dozen or more years...

@50+yeartidefan we are talking about the Viles here!!!!! You are using reason. Let's hope they keep screwing it up for years to come...

You got that right....

@1CrimsonTider
Well....that shocks me that they would go the coordinator route again....
But....like @mando says...its the viles...dont try any logic in figuring themout

 

[BAMAneck]

If that hire goes through , we will start to see exactly how good of a coach Dabo is . If he can sustain when his coaching staff is poached year in and out .

Dating back to Majors every hire UT has made has been a head coach previously, sans two: Pruitt, of course, and Fulmer.

whats ur point?...
Quess. Should have added more qualifications...
"Shocks me they would go the coordinater/unemplyed/group of 5 route" lol
That better?

Fulmer...assistant
Kiffin..unemplyed
Next 2 ....dooley n jones...group of 5
JP...assistant...

 

[bamafan4ever]

Tony Elliot is a Broyles winner. Smart guy and can recruit to Clemson. That being said, any coach has some huge, obvious obstacles facing them when they take on this job. This may be a good hire but will the Vile Nation allow him to almost completely rebuild a program while watching other SEC teams continue to have success? This is at minimum, a 4 to 7 year project depending on possible sanctions. We'll see.

You're arrow is going the wrong way....Dabo runs that show on offense. UT is about to shit the bed

Majors: head coach
Fulmer: assistant at UT
Kiffin: head coach
Dooley: head coach
Jones: head coach.
Pruitt: assistant.

"Again" would insinuate they've tried that assistant route a lot." They haven't. Even if Elliott is their third in the last half of a century, all three have stark differences circumstances.

"Shocks me they would go the coordinater/unemplyed/group of 5 route" lol

That probably covers 80% of the hires made in collegiate football, if not more.

The word "they" doesn't fit here either. It's Danny White. Now, you can choose to knock his hires over his career if you'd like. I wouldn't.
