For discussion's sake, what are people's thoughts on Tuberville as the next Head Coach? He would bring his DC Art Kaufman with him, who has helped turn around Texas Tech's defense. Also, he would bring his OC Neal Brown with him. Tuberville knows the SEC and has had great success. I'm surprised he is not being discussed more.

With his Alabama connections, Tuberville could help us land Dalton Dunaway, one of the most underrated prospects in the country.

Preaching to the choir. I hitched on to that wagon a long time ago.

No. He's a really good coach but hiring him would be an admission that we are accepting mediocrity. I'd rather take a gamble than hire an old fired coach.

No, please, no. I don't want anyone who was fired from a HC job in the SEC. I don't want anyone who has had a losing record in recent years (and especially not someone who had a losing record just last year).

Why do people have to make this complicated? There are loads of guys out there who have won everywhere they've been. Why can't we look at them first? It seems like everyone wants to get into a "well, if we overlook this year" or "well, it was a complicated situation that led to his firing" or "well, if not for this player or this assistant...". It's just like what people were saying three years ago to defend the hiring of a coach coming off a 4-8 season in the WAC. People turn themselves into knots trying to excuse or explain why we should hire a guy. Maybe we should pay more attention to solid, black-and-white evidence, like their win/loss record?

He would be in my top 5. I got blasted last week for bringing up his name but he is a proven SEC coach.

Absolutely not. His program went Stale at AU and he never was a great recruiter to start with. We need an energetic, top flight recruiter who will bring excitement back to football and Tubbs doesnt do it at all. He has only had mediocre teams in the big 1212 since he has been there, dont see him doing better in a much better SEC. And he dominated Ala when they were average and on probation. We can do much, much better.

Exactly, Dont want guys like Tubbs, Petrino, Trooper, Butch Davis, or unprovens like Smart and others being thrown around. Going cheap is not going to get us where we want to be and will likely be doing another search in a few yrs. The boosters are ready to write checks and its time to pay the money and make UT relevant again.

I would be just fine with Tuberville being named HC. He was a winner in the SEC. As far as I am concerned, that makes him a strong candidate. Very affordable option as well.

If a change is made, there are only two realistic coaching hires that I believe could first, unite the fan base, secondly improve the defense immediately, thirdly recruit well, and last win big quickly at Tennessee. One of them is Tommy Tuberville.

Tuberville would take the talent that we have in place and build a solid defense around our talent. He is known for putting together NFL level schemes at Auburn and at Texas Tech, of all places. If he can do it at Tech he can definitely do it at UT.
