Going on what I’ve read/heard, $20M to buyout Pruitt AND staff. I’m sure the powers to be would want to retain a couple(Tee and Graham). With that said, we probably have a reasonable shot at Bill Campbell, from your local high school...
GBO!!
Graham may be in trouble too...... Again
 
Campbell is a good coach no doubt. I also like PJ Fleck. But honestly we can't handle another up and comer, if you can't get a big time name (Freeze) just stick with Pruitt no sense in doing this all over again
I agree, but there’s nothing up and coming about Matt Campbell. He done up and came to the Big 12 Championship Game today and almost won that sucker. Dude has arrived, at Iowa State of all places.
 
This is the mentality that prevents Tennessee from making good hires.

He's at Iowa State. Iowa State has played Oklahoma 85 times. They have beaten Oklahoma a total of 7 times. They are 7-76-2 against Oklahoma.

Matt Campbell is 2-3 vs. Oklahoma while at Iowa State. One of those Oklahoma teams had the Heisman Trophy winner and went to the CFB Playoff. The other is currently ranked #14.

Iowa State hasn't had 4 winning seasons in a row since the 1920's. Calvin Coolidge was President. He has clinched that this season

Frankly, with his resume, he could do better.
Bump

I love all of this. He’s waiting on a big ten job. He does this, he wants that.
He’s done coaching....... he won’t leave his alma whatever. He’s a coach riding the coat tails of others. He’s a life long coach at that school. Please. None of you have any info into this crap. Quit acting like you do. Even down to who picked their nose mining for gold.

I just watched the highlights of their game with OU. He went absolutely nuts when OU jumped offsides on 4th and 2. He definitely has fire!

If you teach/coach excellence in your players in all aspects of life, it doesn’t hurt IMO. A bit different message than Pruitt, who started making excuses because of COVID from the get-go.

ISU deserves him. Leave him be.
He's a nice dream just like many other guys we've hoped for. If he and his family are happy there, I'd see no reason to make a move into these difficult waters. Hell, even Liberty is paying 3m per year for a football coach. At some point, you have enough money and it becomes a matter of what makes you happy. I'd stay right where he is. No risk of getting fired in 3 years. He's at a place where he might just be able to retire there. Then again if he wants to test himself against the best, I hope he chooses UT. Frankly, I don't think we could get a big name here unless he had some baggage/flaws. Guys like Freeze and Kiffin who are viewed as "risky" would be most likely for UT.
 
Might have a shot if no one sends him a link to our boards with with fan reaction to current coaches issues.
Because when he took over for Paul Rhoads they all attended a bbq and movie night in Coach Rhoads honor...ending in an ice cream social before his keys were relinquished and friendly escort off of campus.
