After Gus Malzahn lands at UCF, many foolishly claim Tennessee missed out on former Auburn coach – Saturday Down South

People gonna quit laughing when we win 8 or 9 next year

I'm sorry, what seems to be the problem Cat?

Got to find someone willing to become a millionaire in exchange for serving as our DC first.

 

[drvenner]

Almost there....

I hear that adding natural fiber to your diet really helps a lot.

It's so funny that TN fans want to hire the only coach at a legit program that Pruitt and JG could beat.

For our situation, Malzahn was a better choice than JH. Is what it is.

 

[drvenner]

Pretty sure CJH and ADDW are doing the whole DC hiring left handed

First chink in my impression of Dan White’s armor IF these accounts are true. I understand the emphasis on diversity, but ultimately you back the HC you hired’s hand. This is micromanaging on a Pruitt scale and rumbles of Randy Shannon at UCF.

I don't understand diversity just hire the best man for the damn job.

A bunch of drunk college kids who happened to publish articles is how it was explained to me.

 

[drvenner]

he ain’t wrong

No way we can know that, yet. At all.

 

[Kristy*]

Almost where?

We've almost made it to tomorrow.

Backward and blindfolded.

I think Josh Heupel is more of an up & comer and has more potential to elevate us in the future, plus I think he's very likely to stick here for as long as possible. Don't really see him leaving to take another P5 job anytime soon. Could OU snag him away? I mean maybe but seems like Riley is planning to be there awhile so I'm not too worried about that situation.

Gus would have been a solid hire here and I was on board when he became available. Don't think he would have won us the SEC, but he might have managed a trip to Atlanta. What he would have done though is calmed the waters, at Auburn he was able to get and keep his staff happy. Most the turnover happened when OCs left for HC jobs, which is what you want to see happen. But really the draw for me was his SEC experience and knowing he'd be able to recruit in this conference just fine.

We'll see how it works out for us, but I know one thing is certain UCF isn't going to be upset with Gus as HC. If he was able to pull down 8.5 wins a season in the SEC West he sure as hell isn't going to be taking a step backwards in the American.

Just the latest thing to complain about on here

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

You can spin it any way you want, If Gus ends up at UCF, they have a gotten a better head coach.

nope

 

[mthomp88]

I’d rather have Heupel.

 

[drvenner]

That remains to be seen. No spinning to wait and see who does better.

Fiber, never heard of her.

 

[Exiled]

Almost there....

Tomorrow?

 

[SLICKYINC]

Tomorrow?

Closer to done than not..

 

[mthomp88]

he ain’t wrong

Yes he is. & Gus didn’t want this job anyways.

Anyone got the latest from VQ on the DC search? I’m on 247 and those mods don’t know jack **** about this search. Reporting stuff from VQ 3 hours later.

 

[Dudleys87]

Ole DW needs to have a bases loaded walk off, 40 foot eagle put to win the masters, game winning drive at the CFC type hire or this could get ugly.

 

[drvenner]

I don't understand diversity just hire the best man for the damn job.

What if the best candidate is a woman?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

GUS MALZAHN LOST TO JEREMY PRUITT AND JG!!!

Plus, every QB under him gets worse. Every QB under Heupel gets better. They did not upgrade. We'll see what happens when Gus doesn't have Steele and Garner to cover for him. Of course, he's also in an easier conference so his offense may still work there. He isn't a bad coach, but they didn't upgrade imo

Nobody knows anything and only the ones that need to know know and that’s all that will know
