We need wins. Doesn't do us any good if we hire a defensive coach who can't choose an OC (see Clawson, David).

I think any of the three remaining coaches could win at Tennessee but staff selection would be paramount.

FWIW if Fedora had been at UNC for more than a year he'd be a much higher profile candidate.

I agree, its too bad this isn't at least his second year.

Fedora just got to unc. Can't see him leaving after 1 year like Kiffin. If he does well there in next, say, two/three years, he will get a bigger job, I'm sure.

Exactly, I wouldnt mind it but he wouldnt be my 1st choice. I dont wanna see shoot-outs, I would like a defensive minded coach

So you wouldn't care if he brought Urban Meyer type results, as long as it's 10-7 every game.

If this ends up happening i will be extremely dissapointed, not that i dont think Fedora is a good coach, we need defense, and Strong is exactly that. SEC ties, was the only coach Urban Meyer kept from Zooks staff,winning 2 National Championships, and direct quote from tony dungy "When they see what he can do, you're probably going to have a lot of people disappointed they didn't hire him sooner.""

Fedora has SEC ties too.

hes 10-2 right now and did you not watch the SEC championship game, running the ball and defense wins championships. how was the team this year with one of the best offenses in the history of Tennessee Football

What defense was that game in? It was 33-28!

And UT had one of the best defenses in 2008 and went 5-7.

For the 100th time, guys, Fedora has an out that Kiffin didn't have.

UNC academic scandal deepens, staffer says some Tar Heel athletes she oversaw had never read a book | CollegeBasketballTalk

This quote is important:

Also among the assertions made by Willingham are that “numerous football and basketball players came to the university with academic histories that showed them incapable of doing college-level work, especially at one of the nation’s top public universities.”

So we've gone from allegedly coveting all of Bama's former or current assistant coaches to coveting all of Florida's former assistant coaches.

Yeah, because it doesn't make sense to want your head coach to have championship experience.

The problem isn't that Kiffin left. It's how he left, the early enrollee situation, and how late it was.

Yes. People are always saying "he left after one year." But to me, that was never the issue. It was that he left a couple of weeks before signing day. If he had left in mid December, he wouldn't be nearly as hated. He put us in an impossible position. No other coach would leave his school in a tight spot like that. That is how we ended up with Dooley.

Inside Carolina Premium board staff member states that Fedora is in NYC with the AD and RC of UNC. Fedora did speak at the NFFAA dinner last night. Fedora's policy is not to comment on coaching search rumors. The staff member then states that a source connected with UNC denies that Fedora interviewed with Tennessee this morning, despite any reports by Hubbs or Basilio.

I am not trying to add to Rumor Central, but if the listed link is correct, Larry Fedora is being interviewed by Dave Hart today. I hope I've gotten the link right, if not, apologies.

SEC Coaching Carousel Update – 12/4/12

Fedora is a very aggressive coach on the offensive side of the ball, and he is an avid recruiter. I wonder who who would best serve as his DC, if he is actually hired?

Fedora is in fact meeting with Hart today as we speak. It's not a rumor. Strong, Gundy, and Fedora are the three finalist for the job. I believe Fisher may be out of running bc of cost to worth ratio.

For the love of God, be true:

Larry Fedora, North Carolina – An industry source tells MrSEC.com that Fedora feels he was misled by the UNC administration regarding the school’s NCAA issues and academic requirements. He or his agent began to float his name in connection to a couple of searches and it’s believed he would seriously consider ditching Chapel Hill after one season. Tennessee is expected to interview one candidate today and both industry and sources in Knoxville tell us Fedora will be that interview.
