Uhm, Dave Doreen's bio is pretty damn good. 2 yrs at Northern Illinois and won the conference championship both years and orange bowl berth. Then took over NC state and has them ranked. I'm in

Kiffin or Tee!

Get over our pride. Do we even have any left anymore after the last month? Just hire Kiffin. He would win big here. He left us for his dream job. Sure he could have done it in a better way. But he went for his dream job. And that dream is dead now. So let's bring him back. We need him. And he needs us. What's more important ? Pride or winning ? Winning cures everything. Even burnt mattresses.

What if he says NO?

Man oh man

It's not about pride with Kiffin for me. If he had shown he's changed and not a scandal waiting to happen I would gladly take him back but he reminds us daily how immature he still is

I could see a bit of rationale for not jumping on Taggart a week ago, but with where we are at now? You want this joker from NC State or Steele?

Currie... you fool! You were ready to hire Taggart’s DC as your coach at Kansas State before. Pick up the phone!!!

He was on a seat hotter than Butch at the beginning of the year. Underachieved with a loaded team this year, threw a massive fit after their Clemson loss, is an ass, can't recruit.

I'm willing to risk that versus being boring and uncompetitive with Steele or Doeren.

I have to believe Taggart isn't interested in the job.

Not sure what the answer is to the head coaching vacancy and it's obviously Job 1-A. But Job 1-B is to fix the AD. From the outside, or at least from my perspective, it is failing miserably and calling it dysfunctional is being kind. It's not just football, athletics at Tennessee are simply mediocre at best with just a few exceptions.

Everybody is tossing around millions upon millions to find the right coach, but if it's me, the day after he's signed I'd relieve Currie and go after the best AD alive. Whatever the going rate is, I'd pay him double...heck, I'd pay him triple since your're going to need someone highly skilled to navigate the challenges with the administration and boosters. But that's a problem he will have almost anywhere but I'd make it so lucrative, it would be almost impossible to turn down. Simply put, the most talented and highest paid athletic director would be found at UT.

There's very little that can be done with the top level of UT's administration and boosters are a necessary "evil" to an athletic program, but there's somebody out there who's skilled enough to navigate UT's environment and be successful. I'd make sure that guy was working in Knoxville.

The last few days represent a perfect example of why you hire a search firm to aid in the hiring of a new coach, especially a large institution like UT. Boosters and Admin that will not let this happen because of their authoritarian BS personality deeply undermine our school.
