Still can't come up with a qualified UT grad? You must be a politician, Charles. Instead of answering the question, you attack your opponent. Nice. Very intellectually impressive.

I always address questions posed to me. The weak and intellectually infirm just don't like the answers.

Couple questions:

A) How did I grouped with hat?

B) How long has it been since I even talked about you?

C) Hat and I wouldn't do too terrible :D (ok, not a question)

You may have already answered this question hat, but I'm too lazy to check. What makes you think that if Fulmer was fired that we won't just move Chavis or Cut to HC and replace the coordinator instead of trying to bring in a Davis, Gruden, Petrino(loaded contract), Rodriguez(loaded contract), or Tedford(distance)?

He has recommend Butch Davis (no contract) about 50 times.

Also, I think I could be OC. I'm quite the offensive dominator at NCAA games, and I'm sure real life can't be much harder.

1. Jon Gruden will leave the NFL to come coach at UT at exactly the same time Johnny Majors is named AD.
2. To answer your question, I have confidence in Mike Hamilton. I think he's a competent AD. A competent AD doesn't turn a Top 20 program over to a guy who got fired at Ole Miss or a guy who couldn't get himself hired at East Carolina.

That works for me. That leads me to my next question. Since you think MH would pursue these coaches, what makes you think that any of them would come to UT? Petrino and Rodriguez have contracts that are huge, Tedford would have to move across the country and has a good contract, Gruden has the pension. What if Davis isn't comfortable here or doesn't feel like getting back into the NCAA? We would be stuck with 2 options: A)being in an NC State situation, interviewing any coach that happens to be in east Tennessee and going into our plan C type coaches or B)being stuck with Chavis or Cut as the HC. Would you rather have one of our coordinators as our HC?

I don't think I've ever said UT would pursue any of those guys. Would they? Probably at least a couple of them. I can't think of any circumstance where I would want Mini-Fulmer or Chavis to be the head coach. There are probably 50 coaches I would interview before I would talk to either of them.

But what if we couldn't get any of those 50 for different reasons? Why risk that? I'd give Fulmer 1 more year before I called for the ax.

You act like we're Missouri. UT would not have to dig too deep to find a quality head coach.

I thought the same of LSU, but I wouldn't be too thrilled if we ended up with Les Miles. Also, firing the winningest head coach might not make us super-popular with prospective coaches, either.

I'd say it wouldn't be that hard, but it wouldn't be a slam dunk. This is Tennessee, so we don't have a wealth of talent in our backyard. We do have tradition, but nothing close to the likes of ND, USC, etc.

That was a case of Skip Bertman going with his gut. LSU had plenty of people interested. TCHFCATUTK isn't the most popular guys with his peers. I don't think his dismissal would scare anyone off. A good portion of coaches think if TCHFCATUTK can win here, anyone can.

Either way, I want a coach that can win a national title. Outside of a handful(most of which I don't see giving us more than a passing glance) I don't see many available that have proven that they can do that. We have a coach already that has shown that. Maybe his best days are past, or maybe he was just in a trough. We will see this year. Then I will make my decision.

I have no problem with that. If UT has a successful season, there's no reason to discuss TCHFCATUTK's job status.

But a "successful season" is different to each person. Some see that, after last year, an 8 win year is good. Some say 9 and others say 10 with our talent.

If our standards have fallen to the point where 8 wins in a 12 game regular season is considered good, the program is broken beyond repair.

We have plenty of games that we could lose. LSU, UF, Cal, UGA, USC(Spurrier), Bama and Arky are tossups. A split of the first 4 would be nice and we should beat 2 of the last 3, but it won't be easy. We just have to win the other 5, which won't be easy. Air Force's offense isn't one that you play against much. Marshall will be coming after an emotional UF game. Memphis likes to play us tough. Kentucky has some good players and has given us fits in the past few years. Vandy shown last year that it can be done. That would give us 9 wins and a chance at a 10th, maybe 11th.

I'll stick with something I've said many times. If we can't beat Cal, we're going to lose 5 or 6 games. They are overrated to an epic degree.

I don't know if tey are overrated or not, but their preseason hype definitely seems to be coming out of nowhere.

I think they are overrated as well, but I don't get to see much of the Pac 10 and I thought ASU was overrated last year going into the LSU game. Cal has some big players and a wide open offense. I think our D can hold its own. Our offense has to show that Cut is a difference maker and that Ainge is back to winning form. Our OL will also have to show that it is capable.
