Hart puts it off until no one is available so he doesn't have to pay big money for a good coach and we get stuck with another dumbazz loser like Al Golden.

Announcement Friday at 4 cst, unless Gruden turns UT down. If he does turn UT down it is a straight up crap shoot and nobody will like the hire. The fan base will be divided again and ultimately we will suck, unless we get a proven winner in the SEC. I put 0 stock into what coaches do in other conferences. Gruden or we are screwed

I am predicitng that our "A" list will be completed and none of the candidates will take the job. I also predict when interviews are conducted from the "B" list that Jones from Cincinnati will take the job.
Fire Dooley and pay out $5,000,000 and replace him with another lower level coach. Remember, Jones is winning football games with the players that Brian Kelly recruited.
If Hart does not get this hire right, then the Titantic will definately sink. Us being irrevelant since 2008 is bad enough, now to re-build will take a couple of more seasons, even with the correct hire. That would mean 6 seasons as being irrevelant.
If Hart hires the wrong person, then the program will continue to fall and it will take decades to recover....
I have my doudts that we get a "HomeRun" hire.....

Liklihood of Gruden, maybe 10%. A top notch coach with a big program situation, maybe playing in a conference championship this week end, maybe 20%. A top named coach who has big time moral or NCAA baggage, maybe 10%. Who does that leave? Us being told of this hot shot "up and comer" who has unlimited upside, probably 90%. Not many options out there fellas.

I hope I am wrong, but am I being real or not?

UT needs a coach now. They cannot wait until January or the recruiting class will obsolete.

Where in the world did you hear that? Not questioning your E-cred (well, kinda), but if so, interesting.

This doesn't mean that the RIGHT up and comer won't be good or great, but that appears to be where we are headed.

Capitol hill, Nashville. thats about all I can say without too much risk. I am sure they see everything that goes out of the building via cyberspace. I guess they don't care or I would already be in trouble for my post yesterday. Lunch time is when I find stuff out, usually

UGA has the advantage of a fertile recruiting area, arguably as much "tradition" as UT, with a better track record of recent success.

I can live with UGA being a better job, but you are wrong as wrong can be about tradition. Nowhere close. Tradition of great fan base absolutely, but program history(wins, national championships,) UT is in a separate league.
I think that current Jobs, USC,Oregon, Oklahoma,Texas, ND, Ohio St, Fla, ALa,LSU would all be considered clearly better jobs. The argument could be had for Fla St, Vtech,Mich,Nebraska,UGA,Auburn,Clemson, and a few others for comparable desirability.

Virginia Tech is in a better recruiting state than Tennessee. They do have in-state competition, but it's fairly similar to UT-Vandy in that UVA is hamstrung by strict academic requirements.

You can argue UGA is in the state with so much talent but they also have GA Tech down the road and even more pro teams in state. Plus every school in the country raids their state every year. So, in a way that puts them at kind of a disadvantage. Plus, their tradition and history is second fiddle to ours!!!!!!!!

UGA has far better/easier recruiting and Athens would probably be regarded by most as a better place to live than Knoxville. I don't think there's any question it's a "better job" than UT.

Fans always wildly overrate how much "tradition" matters to players and coaches. Unless it's your alma mater, it's a business decision. What a coach's wife thinks about local shopping probably counts more than tradition.

I understand your point, but tradition alone doesn't make one coaching job better than another, hence my belief it's highly overrated.

Minnesota has more national titles than UF. Syracuse has more all-time wins than UF. Neither school is a better destination than UF for an elite head coaching candidate.

And if you dont believe that, ask a Bama fan. They thank thank their lucky stars that Mrs. Rich Rodriguez didn't like the Walmart in Tuscaloosa.

Sorry, but no way. I think Cowherd might be being kind by saying 9th.
Click to expand...

I agree that 9th might be kind, but I definitely think there is a "tier" so to speak once you get below the "no doubt about it" top 5-7 jobs - ND, Bama, Texas, Southern Cal, OSU, Mich, UF, FSU.

The UT job is in that next tier, and if you want to put it towards the top, that's debatable. Probably LSU, Oregon and Oklahoma lead the way right now, but somewhere 10-15 is probably accurate imo. You can mix up UT, UGA, and Auburn in almost any conceivable way in that 10-15 range and make the case

December *** i'm sorry I had my mind on recruiting month and didn't pay attention on what I put.(What work will do to you) I think he's announced or whoever the next coach is December 5-10.

I agree with Lawrence! I believe Georgia & Tennessee are similar in almost all categories, but Georgia does not have to leave the state to pick up top recruiting prospects.

I agree, tradition isn't something coaches are going to care about. It is about "will I have the support/tools to be successful?" Now tradition may bolster that fact in that it shows a program has a long history of support. It may play a little in that a coach at a college with a rich tradition is usually a God in that area, at least while winning.
