2018 Coaching Changes thread

wanna hear something funny?

If Gundy falls through, Kiffin has approached UT expressing interest...

I SWEAR you can't make this stuff up....

And: Gundy was my original #4.

That would be absolutely nuts if Kiffen were hired. It would be one of the most if not the most shocking coaching hire I've ever seen.

see my book of face post.... 

drama + drama = the WWE of college football.... 

it would be........ glorious.

after what Lane did to Tennessee- not sure how they could ever seriously consider him. He talked a big game and recruited very well- and then bolted after 1 year- and it's not like he had a terrible first year- he was 7-6 and 4-4 in conference. It looked like he was maybe gonna actually turn that thing around. How he left was just disgraceful too- trying to get recruits/UT players to follow him to USC.

Not sure how Tennessee could touch that guy with a 10 foot pole. Are the Tennessee fans that crazy? Do they actually want him back? He's proven even less in his uninspiring coaching career than Schiano.

I want it just for Lane vs. Nick

i'm just an observer at this point.... and.... Kiffin is about what they(we) deserve.  

@Volsareback posted this, and it does a great job of summary for a lot of us:

I get it

This wasn't about a singular event. This wasn't only about Schiano and Penn State.

It was about Kiffin. It was about Dooley. It was about Jones. 

But, it was also about Pearl, Cuonzo and Tyndall. 

It was about Delmonico, Raleigh and Serrano.

It was about the tragic end of the Pat Summit era and watching that program slowly be just another SEC team under Holly. A good team for sure, but not what once was.

It was about an athletic program that arguably is currently inferior to Vanderbilt.

It was about finishing 13th overall in the SEC men's all-sports standings for 2016-17. It's about not producing a men's SEC championship team since 2011 men's tennis.

It was about an athletic program that has failed and disappointed time and again. And through it all, people continued to cheer, support, travel, pay and hope.....only to be lied to, let down, and forced to endure. 

But, this time would be different. The President of the school changed. The athletic director changed. All of the past failure was well documented. It could not be repeated. It would not be repeated. This time it was going to be different.

And then it wasn't.

And the people, who only have their voices, stood up and said "hell no". As many have pointed out, it united this fan base like nothing else in a decade. Everyone agreed. Everyone had enough. "Hell no". In a matter of a few hours, the push back was so strong that those in power had no choice but to listen.

I know that Tennessee fans are catching hell in some places, but I can only put myself in your shoes and say.... I get it

Yes! Haha, Volzheimer's is a real thing.


With that said I'd love to see Gundy hired.


After the interview I heard that Tennessee Admins will give Gundy a few days to mullet over.

So much for my pipe dream of Cutcliffe and Martin together.

From the twitter of Chris Low (ESecPN):

Tennessee has reached out to David Cutcliffe about the Vols' head coaching job, but Cutcliffe informed UT officials that he wasn't interested and plans to finish his coaching career at Duke. The Blue Devils are bowl eligible for the 5th time in the last 6 years.

Y'all had the insider scoop right here and didn't believe me

I don't get the Gundy thing.  He's been at his alma mater for a good while with Boone's $$$ in hand.  What's the draw here?

[MrNubbz]

I suppose you get do a lot worse than Gundy for your Plan F

S-S-Schwiiing

same reason Jimmy Johnson left. Will never be able to over-take OU in the state. Plus the state of Oklahoma produce virtually no FBS talent. The state of Tennessee actually does believe it or not. Definitely more talent than the state of Oklahoma.

With that offense- and his history of throwing the ball- Mike Gundy had been the coach, Tennessee probably lands in-state 5* WR Tee Higgins- guy who was the #2 WR in the 2017 class to DPJ.

Tennessee is a better job at the end of the day. Not sure I'd leave though. Tennessee fans are crazy.

Lane Kiffin's twitter is an absolute gold mine.
