BOB was a bad Gm

A very good coach

And did a great job with penn state in crisis.
That’s the most important part to this

The biggest red flag with him is player relationships. Seemed to be part of why things came un glued at Houston. I still like him, but that's my biggest concern

He could say the same about Chadwell. He could say Chadwell doesn't have any experience in the power 5 even as a coordinator. That isn't proven experience. Meanwhile Steele has been in the game and the SEC for 150 years. He has tons of experience. That's the spin

Did he specify P5?

then why is he not getting HC jobs?
He’s nothing more than a OC.

that’s the difference between us and the top teams. They hire the guys we want as HC as assistants.

I'll take this in order.

1) BOB was a bad GM --> Correct! He was in fact horrible, and he demanded control of his organization while coaching at the same time. I don't think TN needs that type of leadership. We need a GM (AD) and HC separate. So NO to BOB.

2) BOB is a very good coach --> Debatable! I think he is an okay coach. Not a very good coach. I think his 15-9 record at Penn State during the scandal is given too much praise. He didn't win many games of merit, and I don't see him being the long term solution. Do we really need a guy that comes in for 2-3 years to stabilize and the upgrade AGAIN to get the guy who can win championships? No, we need someone who can do both.

Bob Vols:

Kiffin has told former Tennessee players that played for him that he would come back.
I know Kiffin still speaks with members of the Haslam family or so I was told by a VFL. I think it depends on the AD hire. Ultimately I would have to see it to believe it but i don’t think it’s impossible.

If there's a doctor in here, please get Bob a prescription for Prozac. It appears he's still hearing chatter

Agreed, but remember a college head coach is basically a GM. The AD at a college is more like an NFL team president or owner.

I don't want Gus. There are better candidates who want the job, the question is, will UT hire them. As I said earlier, there are at least 3 who want the job who are great hires that UT won't touch: Freeze, Kiffin, and probably Herman due to his reputation with boosters and Texas staffers.

At this point, I'm hoping for Chadwell or someone out of left field we're not talking about who wants this job. Because right now it is looking like Steele

No it’s not. You just keep telling yourself that to the point that you believe it.
