2017 Coaching Carousel

[collegeballfan]

Not surprised. UT is on a now long streak of poor hires.

Never like to see a guy lose his job but hopefully this will open the door for us with some of their recruits we were after.

Yeah GT needs to seriously recruit Tennessee right now

The Memphis head coach Mike Norvell is an interesting possibility for Tennessee. He could be another Justin Fuente.

@MikeJackets1967 you know it's Gruden or bust!!!!!

The word going around is Gruden could be heading back to the Buccaneers

Looking back at UT and the problem they created for themselves.
Fulmer was 152 - 52 - 74.5%. But that was not good enough. "We can do better! After all Gen Neyland won 82.9% of his games!!"

So how did that "Do better" go? Kiffin, Dooley and Jones a combined 52 - 48

So now UT is again looking for that guaranteed 80% winning percentage.
What's the old saying about the devil you know......................................?

I think Tennessee hires either Iowa State's Matt Campbell or Memphis head coach Mike Norvell

Wrong, this guy was soo sleezy & I'm happy he's gone.

And everyone was sick of his tiring clichés!

I think Butch Jones could be a Candidate for the East Carolina,UMass and Kent State head coaching jobs

 

[knoxjacket]

We lost to the worst UT team of all time with that garbage coach. That loss ranks up there with CPJ’s Kansas and MTSU losses in my opinion.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Here's the Butch Jones firing press conference

 

[Vespidae]

Cut is talked about at UT in a positive way. Still, the Vol faithful want a younger, exciting and determined coach. I think he’s a great choice for UT ... but the name they want of active coaches is Scott Frost.

The most popular names thrown out up here as of now that I've heard and read are Jon Gruden and Dan Mullen. I think the next UT head coach could be Matt Campbell of Iowa State or Mike Norvell of Memphis

 

[Skeptic]

Is there ever a coaching job anywhere, NFL to IFL, Power Five to Defiance College, that Gruden is not a candidate for? He's the top shelf example of a guy with one great success who has parlayed it into a good-paying, high profile, low labor lifetime job. who hasn't coached anywhere for nine years and in college since 1989 ... as a WR coach. In Hollywood don't they call that "famous for being famous"?

There are a lot of people up here who think Jon Gruden would be a dynamite recruiter and a match for Nick Saban

 

[jchens_GT]

Seems like every SEC school with a coaching vacancy is surrounded by rumblings of Gruden at first, then eventually settle for a Saban assistant.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Tennessee is paying an 8.2 million buyout to Butch Jones and it will be mitigated by future employment

Gruden is popular, but no one really expects him to take the job ... and be successful (emphasis). He was fired from his NFL gig and made no major push to stay employed as a coach. Mullen is being pushed by Paul Finebaum ... I don’t see it. He has no stress at MS State.

Yeah Gruden could wind up being another Derek Dooley or Butch Jones with more charm
