2018 Coaching Changes thread

[Brutus Buckeye]

you guys are going to wind up with Brady Hoke. Calling it now.

Thread winner.

blah blah blah... UT WILL hire a big name. this isn't over yet by a long shot.. it's STILL UT,

ehhh...ummm....yeah....no.  Nope.  Sorry.  OJ land.
UT stands for "ut oh" now.  Hey, at least at Vandy when you go winless in conference games, you get a great education.

Yes, he was shouting "FUMBLE! THAT'S A FUMBLE!" when it happened because HE GENUINELY BELIEVED it was a fumble. Your dishonest implication is he was telling his player to cheat, he directly ordered a player to cheat. There is video proof THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. Keep failing Ty, it's free amusement today.

He wasn't hollering fumble. He was hollering though.

Graham: "There's a human element to this game...Obviously that was a very unusual deal...Even I was hollering to get on the ball."

Doesn't really matter at this point. The record says what it says. I think what I think. Nothing is going to change, as in, ever.

Currently looks like Tennessee is looking at Brohm and Tee Martin.

Here's hoping that Brohm isn't the kind of guy to leave a place after just one year.

I couldn't see that happening. Purdue needs to do something to lock the guy up though, so his name doesn't come up every year.

I don't think Tee is ready for a big time job yet.
At this point, they might be better off bringing in someone a little older for like 3-4 years, and name Tee coach in waiting.  Jeff Tedford has had a remarkable turnaround at Fresno State in his first year there.  But he's at his alma mater, he's done the P5 thing, he may not be interested.  But something like Tedford, with Martin as OC/CIW could be better than anything on the table.

Cutcliffe and Martin would be a home run set of hires in my opinion. Been saying it for weeks. The ship gets straitened out and you secure your future at the same time. Win-win.

The key would be if Cut would do it or not.

Coach Cut turned UT down before, right?  When they hired Jones?
He's an older guy and is very happy here in Durham.  He gets Duke to bowl games and is seen like a savior.  Why would he want the added pressure?

[Drew4UTk]

it's hard to say what Cut would do now... to my knowledge he hasn't been approached- when he should have been right off the bat- maybe even prior to releasing Jones... like, last Summer early... they knew what what going to happen, and Jones had a chance- but it was no secret it was 'do or die'... you'd think they would have plan B and C staged... 

the issue last time with Cut was Hart.  Hamilton prior to that.  nobody wanted to work for UT under either of those.  there was light at the end of the tunnel with Currie, but that has turned on a dime at this point.  absolute crazytown. 

imHo, the only hope Currie has right now is a headshot knockout punch- the score card has buried him.  nothing that has happened in the last 48 hours has helped lure anyone to that job.  it may be beneficial to slow down and draft another time line and rebuild expectations.  if Currie is fired today, that'll likely be the case........ and if Fulmer is intro'd as interim- then there is a definite Cut connection... lotsa 'if's'. 

[847badgerfan]

Fire Currie. Hire Fulmer. Hire Cut. Hire Tee.

[Drew4UTk]

Fire Currie. Hire Fulmer. Hire Cut. Hire Tee.

agreed.... and then?  circle the wagons, put their heads down in their homework and get to work not leaking a dang thing about anything...

FWIW, CFN, the old Mothership, recommends these 5 guys for Arizona State's consideration.

Kevin Sumlin: He didn’t fit at Texas A&M, but ASU might be the right spot for a great guy, high-octane offensive coach.

Charlie Strong: Maybe, the idea is to defense to combat the rest of the Pac-12 offenses – and what’s coming at UCLA.

Mike Norvell: The Memphis head man is going to be part of the coaching carousel, and he certainly knows ASU as the former offensive coordinator.

Jeff Tedford: What he did in one year at Fresno State is nothing short of amazing. He certainly knows the Pac-12, and he proved he certainly knows how to coach.

Jim Bob Cooter: If AD Ray Anderson really likes the NFL style, the guy who’s making the Detroit offense go is soon going to be a big name.

I've developed the opinion that a great offensive mind  > a great defensive mind in CF today.   I wouldn't solve my problems by hiring a Def HC... UNLESS he has a bright minded and creative OC.   However, most Def HC seem to want to go with a more conservative approach on O and I'm not sure the way CF is played today, that is the right call.  jmo

a little late to the party, but....

Chip to UCLA makes a lot of sense.  I think for Chip this is a better move than Florida.   He knows the West Coast and his style of play fits the PAC better than the SEC.   He fits the culture better as well.

Mullen to Florida.. great move by Mullen, imo.   He knows recruiting in the south and a talent rich state like Mississippi.   Now, moving to Florida, I'm sure his options just expand.  He knows the conference, goes to a program that has more of basically everything than Miss st and is not longer the looking up at other programs around him.   One result of this may end up giving bama more access to Mississippi recruits..  This could be viewed as a win for bama as well.

ANNOUNCEMENT:  The new coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, and a hire that will bring peace and stability to the program, we'd alike to announce Lane Kiffin.
