It's Done - Strong will be announced [unconfirmed]

[SlyStone]

The name has and iconic feel too it.

Let's wait until after Christmas. After everyone picks over the the good coaches, maybe we can find one on sale.

Sometimes there is one left under the pile of wrapping paper.

I doubt that anyone truly misses Dooley. Whether we "Rate" a Big Time HC or not, Dooley was a giant failure. He lost his team two years in a row. I don't have the space or time to mention all the STUPID mistakes that were made on his watch.

That is absolutely NOT TRUE!

Do you honestly think that Saban, Muschamp, Richt, Spurrier, Franklin, etc. don't miss him already? lol:

 

[gr82batnvol]

Smokescreen. I'm not certain he is or was the target. I said this yesterday and ill repeat it today, I'm thinking Fedora may be the man. From what I'm hearing, HE is the superstar hire.

Time to go get Petrino.

or another run at Gruden

 

[the6chambers]

Nothing against strong but Saban : Dooley :: Meyer : Strong!!!

how?! It's not even close.

 

[supersmo18]

He just needs to go ahead and say yes, because I can't take this much longer.

There's a decent chance he's going to say no.

Im with ya on this one. I think Strong and Fedora are Harts top 2 prospects. I'd rather have Strong but I will be happy with either one.VFL

Don't fall for the Smoke screens..........Gruden 2013

 

[Volador]

This is all a very well orchestrated scheme of Hart. The guy just has to be a genius.

 

[carpbc]

I honestly don't know what to expect from this coaching search anymore. It's taken SO many different turns...

Like the Arkansas hiring... just expect the unexpected. I believe there may be a rhyme to the reason... just give Hart a little time and see what "unexpected" direction he goes. We may be in for a great surprise... or a major letdown. Let's see.

Did you say Hart is a penis??? I am beginning to believe it. Every competitor hires a coach with less time and Hart is hanging around NY with his hand out. Be nice to have competence on the hill.

 

[X-Factor]

Yeah, the biggest downside would appear to be the fact that he has turned us down.

 

[VOLsince68]

Guys, this may end up like the Arky hire with Bielema. Who saw that coming???

Hart will be run out of town if he does not make a good hire here. He knows that and everyone else does. Calm down everyone. ESPN doesn't like us anyway, so I don't listen to their dribble too much.


GBO VFL!!!

There is one on sale. Petrino. Ut hasn't scraped down that far yet.

So would you be happy with Wisconsin's eating disorder coach?

 

[Fullfillmer]

Hopefully the folks that let Phil go will see the error in their ways and bring him back.

We would never be able to get him away from his NFL coaching job - no wait ... I mean he would never give up his position at Oklahoma, I mean Ohio State, Notre Dame ... I keep forgetting where did Phil end up - he was in such high demand with everyone - it escapes me where he ended up coaching.

Fedora
Cowher
Tressel

Recycling my op from yesterday...

Just had an interesting chat with my son, and he said something interesting.... "Mom, I may be dreaming a pipe dream, but for all the talk about Gruden and those top coaching name guys to have died down so suddenly makes me wonder. Are you hearing any rumors from people close to?... Uh-no! It's gotten a little too quiet. I think this man (Hart) has something up his sleeves that's going to rock Rocky Top one way or the other. Think about it. He'd better if he likes his job and want to keep it and the VN happy!" Sure hope my son is half-way right.:question::zeitung_lesen:

 

[Tallman]

Strong will get a big raise from Louisville. I believe he will stay there where he can do well in the ACC.

Or maybe his heart is at TN and he had his dream job and doesn't want another unless its back at TN. The argument that no one else wants him is crazy to me, his record speaks for itself. I'm not saying he should come back, but I'd sure as hell take him over some of the other options we have.

 

[Orange Blazer]

UL will pony up the money to keep him.

It's not just about the money. He wants to coach in the SEC.

 

[TucsonVol]

Yep....looks like Hart is doing all the coaches a favor by getting them raises at their home school......what is he doing for Tennessee????
