Hart To Interview Gundy Sunday

[GiveHimSixGoVols]

Per Hubbs and Rucker

 

[AJeray4TN]

Lock him down.

 

[#1DicksonVolFan]

Great news. Would be a home run hire given our current circumstances.

 

[bleedsorange4ever]

Let's hope they actually have the "interview" this time

 

[vol_n_big10_land]

Their rich booster can out bid our rich booster.

 

[bleedsorange4ever]

Would love to pull him in!

 

[orangepaladin]

I'm thinking Gundy wants T. Boone to pay him more right about now.

 

[Escape Goat]

Lock him down.

Have to agree. If he brings a great DC, he is the only HOMERUN hire left of the legitimate candidates.

Absolutely

100%

Oops. Wasted a like on your post. He is 7-5. Maybe Pickens doesn't wanna match. Maybe Gundy wants to move on, and coach in the SEC?

1. Gundy
2. Strong
3. Fisher
4. Fulmer

Gundy and a good DC with SEC experience would be amazing. He has recruited great talent to freakin' Stillwater and coached up those boys--almost making the NCG last season. He is the last "miracle" hire left on the board.

That's what I think about him and Jimbo (both trying to get a raise). Hopefully i'm wrong.

 

[vol4lifefanalways]

if this interview does not happen I can not wait for rucker to explain becasue his sources are always right lmao

 

[GiveHimSixGoVols]

Looks like Fisher has the annual FSU football banquet Sunday night and Hart will meet with him on Monday.

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

OKState is down this yr but it was to be expected considering all they lost from last yr....he had some injuries also....still a hek of a coach and a great hire for us if we get him....

 

[PrattvilleVol]

Gundy is not going to leave his Alma Mater and T. Boone Pickens can buy the entire Haslam empire along with every booster we have easily.

Pickens wealth > Haslam wealth by a mile!

Lol. You can't read his mind. Maybe he wants to move on. My theory is as good as yours

 

[SkidsisVFL]

@TennesseeBeat: FWIW, OSU AD just said thru spokesperson that he had not been contacted by UT for permission to speak to Mike Gundy New York City could be nexus of Tennessee's coaching search for next few days » GoVolsXtra

???

I'm not sure if Hart has actually done ANYTHING during this coaching search...

 

[DocVol]

I do not understand the infatuation with Gundy. At all.

 

[DocVol]

Would be better off with Strong, Franklin or Fisher. Hands down.

If Gundy brought a top notch DC, I disagree.

Pickens wealth > Haslam wealth by a mile!

Is $200m a mile?

According to Forbes list of 400 richest Americans from Sept 2012, Pickens net worth is listed at $1.4B and Haslam is listed at $1.2B. Now obviously both have considerably higher assets but both also have gigantic liabilities.

Gundy coached teams score a lot of points, with not a whole lot of talent. As I am sure you must know that the team that scores the most points wins. Gundy can win at Okie St, which again, is harder to pull talent there, then would be at UT. If he is allowed to pay money for a top DC, UT will win a lot of games.

I think he would have mild success and I think he's a decent choice; but, I feel there are better options that would set Tennessee up for success much quicker.
