The thing that grinds my gears the most is that you take a tour of Tennessee and it looks like a championship program in every single way. The awe of the massive stadium that fills up each game, the facilities, a reno that is going to cost 9 figures. And then... you meet the people in charge and you're like "this place sucks"

Tee would be a big gamble, but bigger than Butch was? I don't think so. Are we forgetting that Fulmer is on staff now and could mentor Tee and teach him how to become a successful head coach? The same would apply to young staff members that he might have.

Also, Jerry Glanville, who knows as much about football as anyone alive, has been living in Knoxville for a few years. I know through a common good friend that he is willing and able to help. He has been allowed to attend a few practices, but no one has ever reached out to him to get the benefit of his knowledge. Some of the major coaches out there today used to work for him in both the NFL and college.

I am pretty sure we could surround Tee with what he needs to be successful.

Having said that, I just wish Gruden would call the university and say "I will come but only with Blackburn". That would create some interesting issues wouldn't it?

If we were this close to Gundy how the hell did we offer Schiano first (morans)

Did I miss Brohm being “no shot”?

Leach, Brohm, venables, Tee, Kiffin (I am still worried he would publicly turn us down to Troll us), Miles.

That’s my order right now.

I could eventually get behind Steele but I don’t think the excitement would be there unless there was a dramatic improvement in the field. And a big risk I would step back and become a casual fan similar to the way I follow UT Basketball.

I can't believe the Athletic Department hasn't even made initial contact with Les Miles or Tee. I can't fathom the ineptitude.

This is the athletic department that thought they could bring in Greg Schiano the day after Tennessee concluded the worst season in its history and everything would be hunky-dory. You can fathom it.

My concern with hiring Tee is that if he's not ready for this kind of job -- and there's no indication that he is -- and things subsequently go off the rails, it's going to look really awful when fans are turning on our last national championship winning quarterback. It will make us more toxic as a fanbase than we already are.

This is what shows our administration is so uninterested in winning. Gundy reportedly was mostly interested in us because Of our facilities. Jimbo is leaving FSU partly because they will not build facilities like ours. So we have the infrastructuee and the budget (6 yrs 42M!).

And we are talking about not being able to find a coach. Ridiculous.

Poor Kevin Steele. He's going to unwittingly kill UT football. His alma mater dies not with a bang, but with a whimper the day he gets hired.
