We could get Strong and he would get us going in the right direction, other than Gruden he is best coach in your 5, I think.

I think Arkansas will be gunning for Strong pretty hard. Might be a bidding war.

I hope more than anything Gruden would sign on, but I just don't see it happening.

No he's not...Not even close...He's beating a bunch of weak Big East teams and losing to teams like FIU...He almost lost to them AGAIN this year..I pray he goes to Arkansas...Let him go ruin that program..We got our own problems right now, Don't need another one.

While we are dreaming, let's go for the long pass...wait for Peyton Manning to retire from the NFL...and line him up as Head Coach and Athletic Director.

Fulmer was not responsible for the demise of the program it was Hamilton and Kiffin. Hamilton thought he had landed a big fish in Kiffin. If Kiffin did not come, Fulmer would not have been fired.

Since Fulmer has gone, the team has gotten progressively worse. 1st year gone, we almost beat Bama and beat the crap out of UGA. 2cnd year gone, we almost beat LSU and UNC. 3rd year gone, we get beat by Kentucky. 4th year gone, it is gonna be pretty crappy.

Totally agree...Wish Fulmer would come back, but if he did, he ought to have his head examined.

If true, how is this possible with the windfall of money from the TV contracts. No school in the SEC should have a broke athletic fund unless they are fraught with mismanagement!

I think we have had management problems ever since Doug Dickey retired !

...Just consider getting a proven coach as an investment. The alternative is losing money regardless because the fans get sick of spending time and money to watch the team lose. 26-30 over the past four and a half seasons. If they won't break the bank to win, they can't expect fans to break theirs to watch a bad product.[/QUOTE]

You are making a good point - I for one am getting tired of expensive tickets and donations to get season tickets, when the team is playing worse each year. UT Management needs to get in high gear.

Not sure if posted, from wikipedia, FWIW: Job speculation

Gruden has been the center of job speculation at the collegiate level. In April 2009, Gruden turned down an offer to become the offensive coordinator for the University of Oregon Ducks.[11] In October of the same year, rumors circulated that Gruden would be the next head coach at University of Louisville.[12] In 2010, Gruden spoke with the University of Miami about their head coaching job.[13] On December 2, 2010, Gruden said that he had met with University of Miami athletic director Kirby Hocutt about the position, but that he remained committed to his affiliation with ESPN.[14] In an interview in April 2012 at a University of Tennessee coaching clinic, he was asked about various coaching opportunities, and he remained ambiguous about future plans. However, it has been reported that on October 13, 2012, Gruden was in serious talks with Tennessee Athletic Director, Dave Hart. It is believed that Gruden has been Tennessee's top target for their soon to be vacant head coach position. Current coach Derek Dooley has a career losing record and has continued that trend at Tennessee. Sources have indicated that Derek Dooley will be relieved of his coaching duties at the end of the 2012 season. It is believed that Gruden has legitimate interest in returning to coaching and doing that coaching at The University of Tennessee. Tennessee insiders say that the contract that would be offered to Gruden would be something along the lines of 6 years at 5 million dollars per year. Gruden would be considered a big time hire for Tennessee. He has a super bowl ring and is on TV doing football commentary every week. Gruden would be a top notch recruiter. In addition to Gruden's recruiting prowess, he would bring an immense knowledge of football and how to win football games to a Tennessee program that has been through a winning drought as of late.

Would love this if true but last year Wikipedia also had Randy Shannon as the next defensive coordinator and you see how that turned out. I could get on there and say he's boarding a plane and signing the contract after he covers the Bronocs Chargers game

also, hasn't really done much of anything since 2007 or so. Losing season last year.

I Believe he just dismantled a #5 ranked team, not to mention that head coach was mentioned for our job as well. Just saying. Did i mention he beat a #3 ranked Oklahoma team last year.

How about the end of that A&M/LaTech game. Ole Dykes almost pulled out a stunner there. 59-57.

I was thinking we got the wrong LA Tech coach to.

Maybe UT could work a trade, send Dooley back to
Tech with Bray and Hunter. We get Dykes, Cameron and Patton. We still couldn't play defense but that would probably give a us 2 more touchdowns a game. Serioulsy I expect Dykes to be at Arkansas next year.
