The Athletic: Feldman reports Peyton involved in new hire. Wildcard Bill O'Brien

[LakeMaryFLVol]

"Sources told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman that Peyton Manning will be involved in the decision. Louisiana's Billy Napier and Charlotte's Will Healy could both be approached, but if the Vols elect to hire a coordinator again, Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott would be the most likely candidate. One wild card: former Texans coach Bill O'Brien, who helped rebuild Penn State in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. "

I’m only familiar with O’Brien and his losing record at Houston....

He didn't have a losing record at Houston. Just really bad bosses.

 

[jaybird_1981]

Ha they are going to screw this up yet again.

He didn't have a losing record at Houston. Just really bad bosses.

And was a bad GM. What he did with Penn State was phenomenal and he was an average NFL coach. We could do a lot worse

Could do a lot better

If they haven’t made the decision already, I’m afraid you are right.

Starting from the bottom of the list already?

Well wasn’t he the GM too?? Sure seemed liked dysfunction conjunction.. he traded Hopkins.. ha! Yeah no thanks..

He was only GM for a few months. Hopkins has admitted he hated the VP and did everything in his power to force a trade.

**** no!!! Keep Bill O'Brien the hell away from Tennessee... Media types will just throw names against a wall and hope something sticks... Bill O'Brien is not in play here...

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

My thoughts exactly!! Hope not

 

[Skippy95]

Freeze, Napier, Healy. Will all be good

 

[VolArmy74]

**** no!!! Keep Bill O'Brien the hell away from Tennessee... Media types will just throw names against a wall and hope something sticks... Bill O'Brien is not in play here...

What about him would cause this reaction? The miracle he worked at Penn State or the winning record in the NFL?

 

[volman128]

IDK why people act like Peyton is some kind of savior. He was involved in John Currie becoming AD.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Agreed. Could do a lot worse. Not my first choice but head and shoulder above Marrone and Gase.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

That is an uninspiring list of candidates IMO.

No Freeze. No Fickell. No Herman. No Chadwell.

 

[G0V0LS33]

No no no. Need a good hire with head coach and recruiting experience.

 

[jaybird_1981]

Freeze, Napier, Healy. Will all be good

You can't hire Napier and Healy here too big of a risk. Freeze is the only option.

Tennessee kissing the arses of the Haslams once again

Charlotte’s Will Healy could be approached with an overall record of 22-31?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Freeze, Napier, Healy. Will all be good

Why Healy?

 

[franklinboy]

Charlotte’s Will Healy could be approached with an overall record of 22-31?

i'm like you brother that **** makes no sense!!!!! WHY???????????????????

What miracle did he work at Penn St??? He went 8-4 and 7-5 in 2 seasons... Lmao... Yeah, dude has a .520 W% with what pretty much everyone considers is an elite QB in the NFL... Dude is hot trash and got a ridiculous amount of praise heaped on him for doing a SERVICABLE job at Penn St and literally nothing more...
