Article from USA Today

The article makes a very interesting and astute point (surprising coming from USA Today). Tennessee should be the top head coaching vacancy this year, barring something unforeseen.

The timing of these vacancies is huge. If you go out to hire a guy and there is a lot of competition, it's much harder to land the guy you want. It's sort of like being the best college QB available in a weak draft class. Even if you're a mediocre QB, you can be drafted very high.

Great unbiased article... IMHO...

Although I don't agree that Cutcliff is the number 2 guy (I don't want him as HC) I pretty well agree with the remainder of their list.

Thanks for posting.

I keep seeing Golden and Strong in these lists of names. Don't get me wrong Strong is a good coach in his conference, but can he get it done in the SEC. This also holds true to Golden. He hasn't done much with his time in Miami.

wouldn't it be funny if Saban was tired of Alabama and wanted another rebuilding job...that would be really funny.

If you read the article carefully...the author says that the Oregon job is a better job than the Tennessee job.

exactly..who wants to live in Alabama and you lose one game and you never hear the end of it from their fans and boosters...didn't they get on him pretty hard about losing to A & M? And you got listen to that guy on the radio all the time..

I would never want Saban at Tennessee...

If Saban was ever the HC of Tennessee football, I would never be a Tennessee fan again.


I would never sell my soul, for a National Title.

what's wrong with Saban? He wins honestly...Petrino would be selling the soul not Saban.

Good read, but Pelini or Sarkasian?

I would take Sarkasian.....he has proven he can beat ranked teams with a no talent Washington team...and was always said to be the real offensive genious at USC not Kiffin. He is a brilliant QB coach...because he was a brilliant college QB himself.

But of course this is after Gruden, Petersen, Petrino, Patterson, and Strong have turned the job down...or not been offered it.

No you're right...I just don't see either one of those two coming here. Sarkasian could end up back at USC soon

Petrino is ALOT worse....

I laugh at my computer when anyone says the words "Petrino and Tennessee" in the same sentence.

Pentrino is cancer on football

Is this a joke?

There's no questioning Gruden's draw. But at the same time, could Tennessee be better off going with a current FBS coach with a track record of winning in a BCS conference? What about Pelini, who has proven himself capable of winning games in a similarly unorthodox situation at Nebraska? Or Strong, who has Louisville on the cusp of a BCS berth?

The best pick might even be Duke's Cutcliffe, the former UT assistant who has led the Blue Devils to six wins and bowl eligibility. He has both head coaching experience and the knowledge of what it takes to win at Tennessee. But it might be difficult for any program, even Tennessee, to pull Cutcliffe away from Duke
