He did. He's said for a long time he wasn't ready and wanted to keep learning and wait til he's ready and had the right opportunity. I don't think he's ever even accepted an invite to interview anywhere. He's declined interviews at multiple SEC programs and NFL teams.

People just **** on him because it's a low floor, high ceiling situation. People would much rather have the high floor, low ceiling after the last decade. I can't blame them, but if it ends up being TE, Danny White past hires speak for themselves. I won't be "over the moon" but I will be excited for a new start.

How do we know they would walk here. Saban wasn't allowed to hire Freeze why would TN be? Kiffin just likes attention, he was never leaving Ole Miss.
Elliott is loved nationally and has turned down many oppurtunties

But he’s not proven a damn thing & the reason has already been documented on why saban couldn’t hire freeze 2 years ago bc Ole Miss was on probation

What has Kiffin or Freeze proven? Where are their championships? Besides the fact that you cant go through a major investigation go on PROBATION and then hire Freeze when Saban couldn't hire him because his old school was on probation. You answered your own question on why not Freeze.

Tn will not go after coaches that would walk to knoxville to be here like Freeze or Lane. Instead they target coaches that not to many people want to see on Tn sideline. Fleck,Elliott, Dykes etc. Campbell I would take but these other names does nothing for me. White has not been here 48 hours and they have already brainwashed him. Expect somebody nobody wants.

I hate to point this out, but Freeze and Kiffin do not have a lot of schools chasing after them. There is a reason.

Let me dream, I am more worried about Tn giving us a coach like they have in the past

Freeze isn't an option because you can't fire your head coach for cheating, and then hire a coach who was fired from another school for cheating.

Kiffin is too immature for what we need right now. Except for a couple season we have been bad for over a decade now. We need a coach who has great character and is a leader of young men and who can improve the culture and build up the program.

Not being a smartaleck...I don't really understand your post, can you elaborate?

Just saying out current situation is not desirable... And when approaching this search for a coach, not accounting for that in candidates'decision making process leads to unrealistic expectations on who we should 'just go get'.

We could offer Campbell $7-8M a year on a 7 year deal... And he could Legitimately turn it down... Based on situation alone.

There are some wired, jacked-up MFers on VolNation right now. I navigated to the Football Forum a few minutes ago. Jesus. I think some of it has leaked over here. Folks got PTSD.

If Elliot is the hire, White will put him in a position to succeed. He’ll have the resources and support worthy of a Top 10 program.

It is like they mass hypnotize people or something. I will never understand the weird fascination of so many people with those two.

I mean is not enough to say they are both good offensive coaches and leave it at that?

No more than anyone else that’s been a P5 HEAD COACH but how many other coaches have won 10 at 4 different places. Let’s not act like they don’t get more out of less. We don’t really know that about Elliot bc he’s had a helluva lot more talent. I’m not trying to be argumentative it just seems like same ole bs type of hire
