2017 Coaching Carousel

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.

I think those charges against Peyton Manning were from a lady hungry for $$$$$. Peyton Manning would be a shoe in for the Senate in Tennessee.

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.

Actually, his wife divorced him for tapping a prominent Bama booster's wife. Just saying ...

Well, in the U.S. Senate, would Peyton Manning actually be expected to ... express an opinion?

A couple different sources in and around the Tennessee program shared information on Monday that seems to point to the fact Gruden may be a more realistic candidate for the Vols’ head coaching position than many may think.

I am tell you this was written by Peyton Manning. There is no limb this writer will go out on. On the other hand...

Yes. Hold onto hope that you're gonna get Gruden so you miss out on all the other coaches.

Jon Gruden is like a Rock Star up here in Tennessee since he has a place in Sevier County and his son goes to Tennessee. I think if he was hired by Tennessee he would probably wind up being a bust like former Wake Forest,Illinois,Texas and NFL head coach John Mackovic.

Is there room in college football for Gruden and Jim Harbaugh? Those guys together would suck the air out of the Superdome.

It would be something to see LOL I don't know why i'm starting to think it will either be Jon Gruden or Lane Kiffin that gets the job. Like I said earlier Jon Gruden could wind up being a bust like John Mackovic was in the 1990s.

Florida seems it be interested in Justin Fuente of VPI (as well as Chip Kelly).
If Fuente is lured away from VPI (UF has the money and armored trucks to back the deal), will he take Bud Foster with him or will Foster gamble on getting shunned over the HC job at VPI and stay?
Will GT benefit from both of them leaving for the SEC?

 

[stech81]

As long as Bud been there I just don't see him anywhere but VT.

 

[FightWinDrink]

I think I remember reading somewhere that Foster said he was too invested in VT to leave at this point. I don't think he would follow Fuente and prob try at the head job.

The other open positions are
Tennessee
UT El Paso
Ga Southern
Oregon State
Ole Miss

Jobs I wouldn't be surprised to see open
UCLA
Arkansas
Texas A&M
ECU
Texas Tech
Illinois
UMass
Bowling Green

If Fuente ends up leaving VT, that could actually make them more likely to promote Foster. They tried going outside with a hot young coach, so if he leaves so soon, they may look more favorably on Bud’s dedication to them. At least they know he wouldn’t just up and leave within a couple years.
