Damn.... that's an insane amount of money to turn down, I'm rooting for Tucker at this point and that he decides not to coach UGA through the playoffs.

I don't think Phil Fulmer can allow him to keep coaching UGAG in the Playoffs if he's hired by UT as head coach. Tucker would need to get out and recruit.

With the early signing period you have to have your coach in to recruit. At this point you can't sit back and wait and hope that there will be any kids not locked up after December 20th.

The word going around is Phil Fulmer will announce the new Tennessee head football coach on Thursday and it will either be Kevin Steele,Jeremy Pruitt or Mel Tucker.

Need to go Kevin Steele, and bring Tee Martin home to OC and assistant head coach (if Steele wants Martin as an OC). I think the UT fanbase would rally around that.

For selfish reasons I'd like to see TN get it right, between them and FL it'd be nice to see ugag looking up at the top of the eSECPn east

Volnation message board is in a state of denial they think they're going to automatically get a sh**tty head coach since they're going to be hiring a coordinator. The most unpopular name on there right now is Kevin Steele

UTEP hired former Kansas State DC Dana Dimel as their new head football coach.

The Volnation posters seem to think Alabama DC Jeremy Pruitt will be named Tennessee head football coach tomorrow.

 

[jeffgt14]

That would be a terrible hire and I love it.

They seem to think he'll be another Kirby Smart He's more likely to be another Butch Jones in my opinion

Mark Richt left Kirby a hell of a lot of talent.
