That is your objection? Because he's only been a pitching coach, but not a head coach? If all schools used your logic of only hiring coaches with previous college head coaching experience, there would be many schools without a head coach right now.

So does it make more sense to hire someone who has never coached at any level like Burke? I'm not sure if people realize this, but no proven coach is going to want to come to UT. And I never said Pharr was even going to get a serious look. What I said was I, personally, would love to see him get a look; because I think he could be very successful here.

How many schools at the SEC level hire high school coaches to be their head man?

This will never happen, but this hire wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as some are making it sound like. Tennessee could easily hire a worse coach than Tommy Pharr, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

Recruits would flock here when they get wind of the high school state championships that Tommy has. We'll be turning them away.

CAK recruits, we wouldn't have to worry about are scholarship numbers because they would all be walk-ons.

Not sure why that's so hard to see. No need to give the keys to someone who hasn't coached a single college game.

If we are comparing Burke and Pharr, has either coached a college game?

Good thread. Even though some like to state their opinion as fact, no one really knows. Neither are likely to land the job, but I think the comparison is an interesting topic for discussion.

Believe me, I don't need to strengthen any argument between Pharr and Burke, because it's not close at all. You've already proven to me you don't know much if I have to try to argue with you about this.

Going from coaching 16-19 year olds in high school to coaching 18-23 year olds in college is not a stretch. Going from never coaching any team, to running a college program is ridiculous, plain and simple.

He was never on staff at BU. He was a volunteer assistant.
