2017 Coaching Carousel

[Skeptic]

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

Well, given that he is on the record as waiting for the "right" NFL job, and he's popped up about every time a college job has opened, and he is still there, on the tube, every day, as far away from football as ever. Personally I think he is right where he wants to be.

VolNation is talking a lot about Scott Frost,Dan Mullen and Bob Petrino. Jim and John Harbaugh have been mentioned also. I think Tennessee can get Bob Petrino while Scott Frost will go to Nebraska and Dan Mullen will stay at MSU. A lot of Louisville fans think Bob is going to leave when the season is over.

One of the Harbaughs at Tennessee? And they think Kiffin was not a match?

The Harbaughs being the fruitcakes they are would never make it at Tennessee

Derek Dooley is available. Or has Vince got another son? They will get the next up and coming Butch Jones.

Imagine Coach Cutcliffe retiring as Duke head coach following the season and Butch Jones being hired as the next Duke head coach I think Scott Satterfield of Appalachian State would be the kind of guy they would hire to replace Coach Cutcliffe but I think Butch Jones would be a candidate also.

Butch will not be coaching any FBS school. He’s 0-13 in SEC play ... and regarded as a fruitcake.

Wouldn't mind if Petrino left U of L this off-season. We play them next year and would love to see the Cards football program knocked down a few notches with some coaching uncertainty.

An interesting factoid ... Tennessee is on its fifth coach in ten years. (Fulmer, Kiffin, Dooley, Jones, Hoke). Tech, in contrast, is on one - CPJ.

UT is top 5 in the country in facilities, resources, fanbase, revenue. And yet ... they can't seem to climb out of the toilet.

Consistency is a good thing.

I think UL will have a new head coach and a new starting quarterback in 2018.

UT has had a problem with poor ADs since the retirement of Doug Dickey. Mike Hamilton and Dave Hart were really poor but John Currie seems better as of now.

I wonder what Peyton Manning would have to say about that. He was incensed when he skipped for USC. Don't think they'd go against him and his money.

I agree with that PM will no doubt have a big influence in UT football since the word going around up here is he's going to run for Lamar Alexander's Senate seat in 2020.

Not so fast. Peyton, like Fulmer and Majors, has input to the Vols, but he's not the big money guy. That's the Haslams. And Peyton didn't look to good supporting Butch Jones until the end. Doubt he'll run for the Senate ... he's trying to get into an NFL franchise.

Re Kiffin. Don't laugh. The Vols would take him back. First, they know he bolted for USC (his dream job) as did others (Lou Holtz, anyone?). Second, they need a big name and one that knows offense. Kiffin is and can recruit and moreover, can develop talent. And ... remember, Butch Jones was the 5th or 6th choice as the others all turned UT down. As they will this time.

Of all the names out there, Scott Frost will likely take the FLA job. Petrino and Kelly are out (bad fits). I would not be at all surprised to see Kiffin get the job.

Good Points you make,Vespidae!

It’s destined to happen. He did name his kid Knox. DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

what do you guys do to deserve this up there? If he does he will think that the press questions he got as a player were submitted by his daddy. He has an awful lot to explain.

Lane Kiffin would have to rent another apartment for his trists with UT coeds like what happened in 2009. That was one of the reasons his wife divorced him.
