Saw this, truth.

Had a conversation earlier and was asked why I would be ok with Joe Brady and not Tony Elliott. Simple without Elliott Clemson is still Clemson, but without Brady LSU wasn't the same. If we hire a coordinator it had better be a coordinator that changed the whole outcome of a team.

That’s a fine argument until you add in the fact that LSU lost a lot on offense this year. Additionally, Clemson did not look so good without Elliot in the playoff game.

Question - would Elliot put Atlanta Vol “over the moon”?

I don’t think so, right??

Has it occurred to anyone that AVs “over the moon” answer might not have had anything to do with who, but just that he was pleased to see Tennessee finally conducting a search in a professional manner void of leaks and Booster/agent meddling?

Do we have to get out our protesting gear if Franklin or Dykes or Elliott is hired? I need to know so I can get my gear steamed and pressed.

I think our tiers are like this of true candidates of the names tossed around.

Tier 1 - Campbell (long shot), Fickell (also long shot), Christobal (I think he will listen)
Tier 2 - Fleck (I don’t think we fall below here), Billy Napier (I think he’s more involved then being mentioned)
Tier 3 - Elliott (White has him on the hook if all else goes wrong and is a very good fall back option we should support)

Lol I love how Sab a known liar claims to see racist stuff on Twitter about TE and then like 9 posters here start saying how disgusting that is.... the guy is a liar and a weird o. He has a new coach he likes so he makes up a narrative for attention and boom here comes all the rando’s believing it and bringing it to this forum. Never change VN

Did you watch the Clemson offense against Ohio State? It didn’t look good at all without Elliot

When was the last time anyone heard of the fanbase blocking a hire like Schiano-gate? I mean when Auburn hires that loser Chizik, yeah they were like WTF, but there wasn't open protest. Also lets call a spade a spade, the justification for rejecting Schiano as being his ties to Sandusky was a means to an end, nothing tangible there. That said, Curry and his puppet master, Haslam, should have known better that try to push Schiano on us after Mullen fell through. Should have just reset the search. Then he goes and tries to hire Deoren, which lets face it, looks a lot like a Fleck hire this go around, and then social media spooks Deoren off as well.
However for all its current warts and the NCAA cloud, I think coaches still in general regard this as a top tier job (pays well and you can win a Natty), but its high risk, high reward. If you are Campbell, or a Gundy, or even a Fleck...is it worth leaving your "safe" gig? The perfect candidate needs to be one who loves a challenge, and tough skinned enough not be threatened by our fans. A person who thinks enough of their coaching skills to take on this "rebuild". Guys like Herman and Napier seem to pragmatic to take this job right now. Conversely, I think the challenge is what attracts Campbell.

I don't care why people didn't want Schiano. Fact is, he wasn't heavily regarded by anyone outside of a few media dweebs. He wasn't a good coach for this program. At all. It was a good thing in my opinion.

That’s a little different.... losing your play caller right before a big game is more challenging than having an off season to prepare......look at sark taking over when Kiffin left.... I do like TE potential though.

Well done, night shift (starts at 11 PM for me)!!!

I am behind 40 pages and only have a half hour before I head to church. I refuse to skim over the posts during this important time in Vol history.

That means I will be behind by at least 80 pages before I get home. Since the first playoff game doesn't start until around 3 PM - I have time to peruse the input from the best fans in America. Looking forward to the roller coaster.

GBO.
