Should we worry if CBJ is successful?

I'd rather cross that bridge if and when we get to it. Which also would mean he would have brought some excitement back. But for now lets sit back and see.

It would really be a killer if the best bearcat staff in America leaves their dream job and takes their infallible system (that only fails against Dooley) some place else.

Being successful in the SEC and then being successful anywhere else.....ask Les Miles why he didn't run to Michigan O.P. This is the true ultimate proving ground conference.

Talk about worrying about things that won't happen. Jesus.

IF it were to happen (which it won't), I'd be fine with it.

What if Johnny Majors is successful at U.T. then returns to Pitt?

What if Dooley is successful at U.T. and then returns to Virginia?

What if Jones is successful then leaves for Michigan? Then the job will be attractive to almost any coach because the team is successful again. Then a coach who is better than Jones will come in, one that we aren't able to attract at this moment....

Why all the bashing ? This place for discussions. Op just trying to have something to talk about.
But at Tennessee , if we are winning I don't think there's a big chance of someone being hired away.

Neyland to Texas?

Nope, called to the Himalayas









The Vols reeled off undefeated streaks of 33 and 28 straight games. Upon returning to Tennessee from the Panama Canal Zone he retired from the military in favor of coaching.

He coached two more unbeaten Volunteer teams in 1938 and 1939. The 1938 team was national champion and the 1939 squad is notable for being the last college football team to go an entire regular season unscored upon, shutting out every opponent. UT's run of 17 straight shutouts and 71 consecutive shutout quarters are still records that many think will stand forever. Neyland completed another undefeated regular season in 1940. Neyland was recalled to military service again in 1941. In World War II Neyland served in the China-Burma-India Theater, supervising the transportation of material through monsoons and across the Himalayas to the troops commanded by General "Vinegar" Joe Stillwell. During his military career he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal and the Legion of Merit and made a member of the Order of the British Empire.

Let's imagine that you were the head coach at Southern Miss. However; your dream job is to be the head coach at U.T.

If you took 4 or 5 seasons to bring the Southern Miss program to the next level, then was given the opportunity to be the head coach at U.T., would you take the job or decline the offer to coach at your dream job?????

You really owe Southern Miss nothing because you brought them to the next level and should you leave the program, it will be in good shape.

If you answer that you would take the U.T. job because it is your dream job and it pays more, then why would you expect Jones to remain here?

If you answer that you would remain at Southern Miss out of loyalty to the program, then why would you fault Tee Martin for being loyal to the USC program and not returning to U.T.?

To me, it's not so much about loyalty. A coach can be as loyal as he wants, but if he doesn't perform, he's not getting the same loyalty back from his employer.

Coaches have to primarily look at which situation provides the best opportunity for future success. Period. That may seem cynical, but college football is a business and I would bet that many coaches think the same way.

Think of what a good place we would be in if rumors were flying around that our coach may leave rather than when he is fired. I don't think he would leave. If he was able to convert Tennessee back into a powerhouse then he would be content. I'm not just saying this because our team plays in it but the SEC is really the elite of college football and the Big Ten hardly compares.
