First off he screwed the Vols over so why would U want him? He could have stayed at USC and been the highest paid assistant in College football. So why would he take less pay and comeback to Tennessee?

Coach O is the lowest form of scum on the planet. He makes Kiffin look like an upstanding high class guy. From the deepest part of my heart I hope this piece of trash rots in the deepest, darkest depths of hell.

I have long thought that due to the importance of recruiting, and the predictive ability of talent, that recruiting as a singular skill is far under valued. In other words if simple talent averages alone can explain about 70% of wins and losses, recruiting should maybe be given much more credence. Thinking outside the box, a guy like O, could be brought on a staff and given a title but only focuses on recruiting. This position would have a huge salary but no real coaching responsibility. I'm not suggesting we hire that mumbling fool, but I do think that the system could be tweaked to hyper utilize great recruiters without devaluing a whole staff with limited positions.

So what position group do you want to leave mostly uncoached? Defensive line? Receivers? How about the secondary?

Hell yeah...and let's call Kiffin - Lane and Monte, Dooley, Trooper, and Chuck Smith while we're at it. Just awful idea.

Please tell me you're joking! ENOUGH with this crap! He'd have the NCAA on us in no time....period. He's an extention of Kiffin that uses the same "bend the rules" approach to recruiting.

NO! Were you around 4 yrs ago during the original debacle that caused the worst 4 years in UT history? He along with Kiffin and Daddy caused this mess! I hope none of them ever coach again!

I was suggesting we put him in a role with fewer responsibilities, as in not a coordinator or head coach.

As I said, I am thinking outside of the box.

Isn't their already a position just called "recruiting coordinator"? How about a team makes that position a couple million dollar a year position and bring in a huge personality / great recruiter and put him to work. A year round thing with no real game day responsibilities. He simply is the recruiting guy and liaison between the recruits families and the coaching staff.

My point though is simply that even with the way fans focus on recruiting, that I believe that the importance of recruiting isn't valued enough. There is a direct correlation between recruiting and wins on the field. My world view is simply that we tend to generally over-value a head coach, and under-value talent and talent development. A head coach usually negotiates for and is given a bonus for bowl wins, conference championship games, whatever. I think this recruiting coordinator position should get massive bonuses for top 5 classes, retention and compliance. I believe that great talent has helped more coaches look like geniuses, than genius coaches have made bad talent look good.

Is this a serious question:blink:?

First off before the whole escapade that none of us want to revisit in how that staff ended their tenure I liked coach O. But if you were coherent in that time period and you would even consider wanting to see him on our sidelines again you have no scruples and do not care anything about the integrity of our university.

YES! Lure him onto I-65, center lane, give me the cue he's set up and I'll gun the 1958 Chevy pickup for all she's worth right at him. I don't hate that he left, but calling our recruits obtained on the UT's dime and time to ruin us so completely? I believe every sheriff in the state would say the investigation into the event showed Ed had somehow run himself over and the truck either escaped or it was the work of a UFO of some sort.
