Just heard from my source again. Strong probably isn't coming, and Fedora and Gundy don't seem interested at this point either. Look out for possibly Al Golden, Dana Holgorsen, Mike Dantonio, or possible Mike Riley from Oregon State.
Don't get me wrong...Gundy, Fedora, and Strong are all still possible...it is just starting to look unlikely at this point, so the AD has backup plans in place. I was told we put out a feeler for Patterson but he wasn't interested.Not that I fully trust this, but that would be extremely sad if true. Another coaching search where we miss out on our top 5-6 coaches would be devastating.
I'm really pulling for Gundy and Fedora, and still wondering why haven't heard anything at all on Gary Patterson, as to whether we've called and he declined to interview or whatever the case. No reason why he shouldn't top our list of coaches.

You're telling me that Larry freaking Fedora, the FOOTBALL coach of ACC BASKETBALL powerhouse North Carolina isn't interested in coming to TENNESSEE, a FOOTBALL SCHOOL in the greatest conference in America???
I have nothing against you, but I'm not sure I can believe this. That's also mostly because I don't WANT to believe it. Why would he not want to come here? WHY?
And what an utterly sad, pathetic list of 4 coaches that is. If any of those 4 not named Mike Riley is hired at Tennessee, I'm going to emotionally detach myself from the games and the school. I'll watch, but I won't pay for anything Tennessee. I can't support that.
