At least we finally got away from hiring from the GUMPS.

Not a lot of coaches willing to take the risk with Tennessee and a lot of them were never asked who said they were just used it to get a raise. 

At least he knows a QB when he sees one and he wasn't afraid to take the job.

Who knows he may be the next Bob Neyland.

We didn't win many on the field this season but we virtually wiped out UCF's football program this season....we got their AD and football coach and week before signing day.

It's whatever, I guess.

But is there anything more Tennessee than "hitting the homerun" with Danny White from UCF (1.8 million bucks), to hiring a search firm for Lord knows how much money to do the vetting process, to only then go out and hire a guy that Danny White already vetted, and hired 3 years ago.

I mean....send in the clowns.  WTH is going on up there?  :)

Tennessee is about to be hit with sanctions and NCAA probation and still hired a B+ football coach. Looks like a home run hire under these circumstances.

PS....lot of money left over for a new staff as well...GBO

I am underwhelmed but given the circumstances there ae not a lot of 'homerun hires' who are willing to come to what is going to be a major headache for a few years to come.

Not to mention dealing with so many who demand instant gratification.

So welcome aboard coach, we wish you and the team well.

I for one am glad to get him rumors had it Sonny Dykes from SMU and Tony Elliot from Clemson were at the top of the list.

With what Tennessee is facing from the actions of Fulmer and the GUMP Pruitt no "home run" hire as some put it would take the chance on soiling their reputation.

Hugh Freeze was never an option because of his trouble with the NCAA at Ole Miss. Kiffin likewise isn't squeaky clean either and he's just another GUMP.

Danny White knew this going in so he had to get someone who didn't have any rules violations against him.

UT reportedly reached out to Cincinnati's Luke Fickell, Penn State's James Franklin, SMU's Sonny Dykes, Minnesota's PJ Fleck, and Clemson's OC Tony Elliott.  Would you rather have had any of them?
UCF's record:
2017 - 13-0 (Under Scott Frost)
2018 - 12-1
2019 - 10-3
2020 -  6-4

Not really trending in the right direction, although there was nowhere to go but down.  Scott Frost is about to get run out of his alma mater, so you have to hope it turns out better than that.

Not going to judge anyone's record against them in 2020. The damn virus effected every school differently,

We really don't know who was contacted or offered it's all just rumors we only know who was willing to take the job under the current circumstances surrounding the program.

That in itself speaks volumes for the man showing he has enough confidence and the courage to take the job.

I consider those who supposedly turned us down a bunch of scared pussies wanting to step into a cushy job where they don't have to work as hard.

What would be an example of a "cushy" head coaching job where they don't have to work hard?
