The Vols are interested in Brent Venables

I mean I'm interested in Emma Watson.

The Tennessee fans wouldn't be happy with that hire because he's not a top shelf potential head coach.........just sayin'

I think he means as their new head coach. If that's the case, then I would guess Venables would make the jump.

I ain't judging. Look at that grin.

 

[Madison Grant]

Risky hire. Pretty good d-coordinator with a bunch of 4 and 5 star talent to work with. No record as a head coach.

If I'm Venables, I wait for a less toxic option with a better recruiting base.

The recruiting has been great at Tennessee the past 4 seasons but the coaching hasn't

Can't do much worse than Lyle.

Ohhhh, shots fired.

No shots here! I wholeheartedly agree, but given the criteria the Vols seem to be using to pick head coaches, it could happen.

I'm not so sure being Clemson's DC @ $1MM per year isn't a better job than being the head coach at UT. UT's expectations are way too high. Plus, his son is committed to play or is on Clemson's team already.

I don't see where Tennessee fans expecting to win 9-10 games a season in is having too high expectations. I think if UT hires the right head coach they could win 9-10 games a season. The problem for them is not screwing up the coaching search.

What about Lane Kiffin lol

 

[MikeJackets1967]

What about Lane Kiffin lol

His name has come up on talk shows as a potential candidate

 

[jeffgt14]

I honestly think Kiffin would do a good job at UT this go around. Will never happen though.
