apparently FIU fired mario Cristobal with Butch Davis in mind. Apparently the FIU AD has a history with Davis. If he's considering FIU, UT better throw their hat in the ring.
If neither Gundy nor Strong work out, hire Petrino or Tressel, if interested. I'd rather have Petrino--I think he'd have a better chance of success.
Petrino will never coach here. UK and AU wouldnt even hire him and he was begging for those jobs and it was reported by one of the media guys that Hart told Petrino to stop calling UT about the opening and no way can a man with a 5 yr show cause can be hired by a team already on probation
If it is true Strong, Gundy, and Gruden are out, Hart's best move IMO is Fulmer. No matter who is hired a large portion of the fanbase will be upset. Much support at all for Fedora? Golden? Dykes? There would be quite a bit of support at least from the Fulmer folks who would still support him as HC. I think there are more who would than alot of people think. This board, is not the majority of Vol Fans. It just makes sense to me.
HC in SEC
National Title
SEC titles
HOF
150+ Wins
Would take the job TODAY for less than 3 million a year.
