Our new Coach could be Tony Elliott (rumor)

[VolInNW]

Please support whoever is hired! Damn it so many of you are delusional. We're a dumpster fire facing NCAA sanctions and many just blow that off like it's nothing and we can waltz in and hire Meyer or anyone we want. Has recent history not shown you anything? We're in worse shape than ever and very few coaches want to take on this mess. We better hope the next coach can navigate us through this mess to a respectable level. Geez what morons

For the love of God, can you people stop attacking fans? It’s old. We get it, you’re convinced we suck, no one would come here, but you’re so rah-rah for the program you just claimed sucks that anyone who doesn’t blindly follow everything Orange is a moron.

It’s old. We are all Vol fans here. Some of us just have little patience or hope left in UT doing anything well with respect to managing the program. Let’s see, shall we, if this time they get it right. We ALL hope they do.

Per my buddy who played on Clemson’s ‘81 Natty team, Elliott’s told Dabo he’s headed to Rocky Top.

Welcome Coach Elliott, I hope you’re here for the next 20 years!

GBO!

He wouldn't have just hired a search firm if this was true. There won't be any leaks from this search so don't believe anything you hear or read. It won't be Elliott.

I would rather have luke Fickell.

He wont leave Cincinnati.

[GreveHaller]

firing a coordinator in their first HC gig to hire a coordinator for their first HC gig is such a Vandy thing

 

[Steve_Smith89]

He wont leave Cincinnati.

The lights of the big show are just too bright for some people

 

[madbamahater]

So are they paying Elliott the 7/8 mil when they could get him for 3 mil? He's currently making 1.6 mil.....

Vandy has stomped our ass doing it too.

 

[BigCountryVol]

My buddy told me that Andy Reid is our next coach.

My buddy told me he stared at his butthole in the mirror one time

 

[GrayWaterCanine]

I have not seen any big updates recently, but this would be a surprise. This could definitely be the hire, but not at this point in time. If true, a big name or two has fallen through and some subsequent phone calls have gone terribly wrong.

No! Tired of cheap hires. These guys make money. You want to beat Bama you are going to have to beat Bama!

 

[PNW Huskie]

If this is true, this would literally be doing the same thing we did last time except it's an OC instead of a DC.

What's not true? We're not a dumpster fire? We're not facing ncaa sanctions? We're not losing a pile of players to the portal? How hard is it to understand?

It doesn't matter what list White has if nobody is willing to bite. Can you imagine the sell job just to get a coach to listen? Never mind take the job! We're lucky if we get a guy like a Elliott and he's probably going to use Tennessee as a spring board. We're nowhere near what many here think. Let's just get a good coach and let's get respectable. Sheesh...

Pay Da Man!

Go flash your big checkbook in front of your choice and watch you get laughed away. Seriously

I was talking about the rumor of TE being hired genius.

 

[Tnslim1]

I wouldn't be surprised if this is hire. With the potential troubles that could be out there for the university. I don't see a big name coach coming here unless we paid ridiculous money and the only ridiculous money we ever pay is buyouts.

Exactly

 

[Orange Marlin]

I believe you. Not

 

[PNW Huskie]

I was talking about the rumor of TE being hired genius.

And if he's hired nothing I said wasn't true. Get on board instead of being a mattress burning redneck

 

[cd12]

K!

Fleck has an L in it

 

[MadWorld]

Be careful, someone will tell you this is a garbage post and *gasp* put you on ignore

Tennessee football is well and truly dead if Elliott is hired. Or any coordinator, really.

If he is hired, will you delete your account on VN? since football is truly dead, and all...

 

[hillsborovol]

This story doesn't seem plausible. Why would a random player from the past know something that only Elliott's wife would know? There is no way he would be contacting a bunch of people from his past or present.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

How about you go pound sand Mr. High Horse?

 

[VFL28]

Nah they will get on here and begin the VolNation cry about the coach ritual.

 

[Vato]

No

 

[tastycar]

I'm not a fan of the hire, but he could be fantastic. If it ends up being him, I'll def keep an open mind until he either succeeds or pulls a Pruitt.
