You have your candidate list and have interviewed them all so you make a selection. They need to be here two weeks before the early recruiting will be glad to see this over.

I would add that I have been saying we're waiting til after the 5th for Brohm's buyout to reduce.

I would further add that as per Brohm's current contract, and to meet the 1mil decrease, there can be nothing publicly announced that he is leaving.

I would finally add that in addition to his contract not being extended, Kevin Sumlin has also not been hired by anyone and is a Purdue alum.

IMO, if it ain't Gruden it's Brohm, and if it ain't Brohm it's Miles.

Not that we should choose a coach based on a single recruiting class, but this might be the one hire that keeps Martinez in the fold. The Frost offer worries me with him.

There are multiple reports that Fulmer is going to wrap up or wants wrapped up, the coaching search by Tuesday night (tonight) or Wednesday.

Why? What is the significance of having it done so early?

Why not take your time and make the right hire?

Early signing period should NOT be a determining factor in the new hire decision.

You simply have to have someone in with some time to salvage his first signing class. Right hire or not, if his first signing class is horrific, it could easily snowball into disaster. They wasted their time and now have to get the best choice with what they have to work with.

I am surprised it too so long for this to come up. I truly believe this is the reason for the urgency. As I stated on a previous thread I hope the new coaches first call is to Cade Mays because I am still optimistic he is in play.

There is a point where you make a decision because the options are not going to get any better.

If you are hungry and there are a few items available to eat, eventually you have to pick one whether you like what’s there or not. Waiting around just makes you more hungry it doesn’t change what you have available to eat

"recruiting is the backbone of what we do".

i think it's probably a good thing no one really knows who it's going to be. if i had to bet, it's going to be some "compromise" of some of the scenarios that have been discussed. i think some will get part of what they wanted, and some won't. i would imagine those groups could be interchangeable depending on how the staff rounds out.

You're correct, the early signing period shouldn't be THE deciding factor. However, it is a factor.

Any coach that we hire needs great players to succeed. It doesn't matter if it's Gruden, Petersen or Saban himself. If Tennessee tanks on a recruiting class, it will hurt whatever coach we hire.

Trust that Fulmer knows what he's doing. When he has his guy, believe it'll be the right guy for Tennessee.

I just wish Fulmer would go pay either Pedersen or Venables whatever it takes and get them in K town working to hire great assistants and get busy recruiting.

I really hate to lose Cade Mays but he said now it's either Georgia, Clemson or the Ohio state SUCKeyes.

Get it done Fulmer!

VFL...GBO!!!

Dominoes still need to fall if we are targeting the same people as FSU and Arky. Then Potentially Oregon if Taggart goes to FSU.
I could see Taggart or Sumlin to FSU
Did Sumlin work for the AD that Arky just hired from Houston?
Would Kiffin go to Oregon?
I'm very interested in this years' coaching carousel.
