All this thread is reality. The sooner you guys accept that hiring mediocre coaches is not ok, we will win some damn games

well we had a bad coach. fired him.

now we dont have a coach, so lets at least wait till a hire is made before we chastise it. im not saying we for sure are having a good hire, but unless you have a magic crystal ball, i really dont know how you can tell we arent gonna have a good hire

All because a handful of idiots got all hyped up over a guy who reasonable people knew was never going to come here. Now nobody will be good enough and the University's entire administration needs to be fired to make room for "Tennessee people".

im a tennessee grad. therefore i am qualified. where do i apply?

Show JG the money... If he then turns it down then he's the fool. We all know TV commentators have the life expectancy of a house fly.

No source, just a gut feeling that all the Gruden talk was the smokescreen to a much bigger hire. Looking at currentcoaching salaries, a $4-5M offer to Brian Kelly would be a huge pay increase for him....long shot, yes...but is wirth the conversation seeing his current pay is < $3 mill at present.

Tried to let a Tennesee guy drive himself out of the ditch he drove us into in 2005,drove it completely off the mountain..that's what happens when you give someone with deep ties a free hand for 10 years..we need new blood,young guy with fire,not afraid to piss people off..uh..sorry,tried that also..crap..we are screwed

Who got us to the mountain again?

Tennessee really does have the most passionate, yet the dumbest fan base in the country.

That would be Auburn. They fire Tubbs 3 years removed from an undefeated season and Chizik 2 years removed from a BCS title....talk about unrealistic expectations...

Why don't you wait and see who is hired first, before you say mediocre. Gruden isn't the only good coach out there.

UT is a Big Boy College and Must take care of it's self. We are where we are for a reason. UT hasn't done a good job of managing and investing in the Football Program, UT has no one to blame but it's self. Sometimes when a school falls to this degree it can take many, many years to correct, so just enjoy the season the best you can, after all someone always has to be last and this time it happens to be the Vols.....nothing we can do about it.
Go Vols

I agree 100% with OP... I expect to google the next UT hire, just like last time. It's the Tennessee way. Crossroads my a$$, we've already taken the turn to irrelevancy and mediocrity a long time ago.

That, along with I didn't realize back to back 9 win seasons was in a ditch.

And winning your division the year before you were fired. Maybe even winning it 3 times in his last 10 years. But gey it's popular to make fun if tge guy that loved this place.

I think we all know at this point we will end up getting another mediocre coach. But this time it will really hurt because this program is already in such a deep hole. My concern is all we are going to do is dig the hole a lot deeper with another cheap, and unqualified hire. I really hope I am wrong but get ready for disappointment...


Also I want to clean house from top to bottom. Get these Florida and Bama fans out of our program. We need UT people running our program. Im done and so is most of VN for this mediocre product we get every year, and I am sure with another terrible hire we will be even worse then we were. All I can do is hope and pray because I fear that we will once again set ourself back and dig the hole we are already in even deeper.

It's because of fans like yourself that the next coach no matter who he is will not even get a chance...Always gloom and doom but boy if We start winning again you'll be right back on that bandwagon won't you?...People like you make me sick.

Gruden would have been great to get our recruiting where it needs to be. Dooley did not recruit well at all as we can see. He did OK with Offense but not defense. The next coach not only needs to be able to coach but he needs to be a great recruiter or have a great recruiting staff. We're not Florida, Georgia, or LSU where they just sign on the dotted line and a great recruiter is not as needed. This may be where we get hit the hardest in losing Gruden. We would have had the top athletes ready to sign with Tennesse if he were here.

Well the defense. Dooley and coaches recruited players for a 4-3 defense. Then change them again to a 3-4 defense with a first time DC. That is just not smart football.

Pure speculation, you have no idea what is happening.
