The symptoms of a successful football program. Other teams want your coaches.
1) tough loss no doubt
2) its still CJH system though

UT can outbid Cincy if they choose to do so.

I would... but not my money.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

This is Heupel’s system any way

how exactly would they do that for an OC? trust me as a HC at Cincy he would make 2-3x anything UT would/could offer him as OC

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

He could call the plays at Cincy if he so chooses.

 

[tennesseepride84]

I hope stays, but if he goes slide Halzie over and keep that train rolling

If that happens and Dobbs wants to leave the NFL, I wonder if he'd want to come home as a QB coach?

I'm betting he'd be great in the locker room and perhaps a good recruiter.

What? No chance we would "outbid" Cincinnati and pay $5 million for a coordinator to prevent him from becoming a head coach.

Coach Golesh....

Good choice but I’m not sure he would won’t to leave the NFL still in his prime

 

[OldLofter]

These posts (and there will be more) always make me ask: why would anyone want to be a head coach?
Sure, there is the money.
‘There is also dealing with the media
Dealing with donors
Dealing with the police :-(
‘Dealing with player’s parents
The HC becomes a CEO, which can become very far from coaching football.
Coordinators can make very good money
But, I wouldn’t stand in anyone’s way if they had the itch.

 

[EaglesVols91]

Chavis never wanted to be a HC. Plenty of assistants don’t, but if he wants to then good for him. Losing programs always take assistants from proven winners

 

[Stephen Gray]

I’d love for him to stay, but if he chooses to go I will be happy for him. At some point if being head coach is his goal then he has to move on. You hate to lose good assistants but if they are getting these opportunities it means they have done a good job usually, and I am happy to see them succeed.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I’m thinking Dobbs joining Team Elon is more realistic.

I think there's also a pension from the NFL if you make 7 years. If I could, I'd stick around for that and who knows, Heinicke bounced around the league and he's found a place as a serviceable backup for an injured starter.

They paid Fickell that. Do you think they'd pay an unproven new coach that?

No. UT won't go $5 million but $2 million. Maybe even $3 million. There is real money in college coaching now and with the portal programs have a LOT more incentive to pay assistants and coordinators.

It’s crazy how far salary has come. You’ve been a fan longer than me but I remember Fulmer’s salary being considered high in 2003 at iirc under 2m. This is an article about Nick Saban in 2004 at LSU where his 2.4m was the highest at the time:

LSU signs Saban to seven-year contract

If you go way back to Neyland he made $750 in 1925.

Cincinnati is becoming the college football stepping stone to bigger jobs.

Becoming?

 

[Volfan1000]

Cincinnati has become the college football stepping stone to bigger Power 5 jobs.

Insert "has been" for "has become".

If he wants to go somewhere that’s the perfect spot to land for him.

I think it would be a great move to hire Hooker as a grad assistant to help tutor our quarterbacks since he won't make a roster in NFL next year, as there won't be enough time for him to sufficiently heal and be ready to make a roster. I think he would be a perfect fit as a future coaching position.
