Not sure how UT fans would feel about Kendall Briles due to his association with the Baylor/Art Briles situation in Waco, but I'd hire Brent Venables as HC and hire Kendall Briles from Florida Atlantic to run the offense. Briles can flat out coach offense, and he's a big reason why Lane Kiffen had a lot of offensive success this year. Say what you want about Art Briles, but that man's offense can put up points fast, and is explosive. Kendall would just be an extension of his father. Venables defense plus that offense will win a LOT of games in the SEC.

Brent Venables has had a more impressive career than Kirby Smart did before he was hired at UGAG

Agreed. You know Venables is 100% in charge of his defense. When Kirby was at Bama there was always a question of how much was him vs Saban. Would love for Venables to get the UT job & get him out of our hair & let him be UGa's problem for a while.

If Venables gets the UT job today or tomorrow I wonder who would be in charge of the Clemson defense for the Playoffs?

It's being reported that Phil Fulmer is talking to UGAG DC Mel Tucker for a second time in NYC. Mel Tucker is a very good coach and the UGAG fans on twitter aren't happy with him being interested in the Tennessee job.

Was UGA's fans mad that Kirby Smart was named UGA's HC while still the DC almost to the day 2 years ago while 'Bama was preparing for the playoffs? Hypocrites...

Would be fun to see Tucker get the HC job at UT and cause a little ruckus at UGA among the defense and shake up thier 2018 defensive recruits and while the team trys to prepare for the playoffs. It will also add another wrinkle in Smart having the ability to repeat his success next year. It could be a big discussion point and distracting variable for UGA during their practice and cause friction between coaches. Who knows Ol'Phil may require him to report immediately and begin to get his staff together at UT as they need to secure their recruits. Plus he may try to take some of the recruits with him to UT before they can sign with UGA? I don't know how much leverage Phil has to make him come now. Thoughts?

It would be cool if Tucker took quite a few defensive recruits from UGAG and in that case UT could improve very quickly if that happens.:cool: I think Mel Tucker is a damn good recruiter and would be a nice hire for Tennessee.
