Isn't happening but that dirt bag can recruit but hide your female trainers and be prepared for him to split on a dime

No thanks, and no thanks on Kiffin too. Give me Kevin Steele before them.

At this rate, that may be the best option.

The failure of this coaching search is growing in hilarity everyday. Good work, Tennessee Twitter heroes!

Being a Vols fan is super hard right now. So embarrassing the stuff that is being said on social media.

Need to fire the AD and stop letting the Haslem family make all the calls.

Lebatard show was joking saying if you want a raise, go interview for the Tennessee job ha

you are wrong. the fans have supported this program for 10 years on the promise that we just have to be patient. and the last two hires have been complete jokes. then, while florida goes out and gets a decent hire, texas a&m seems poised to get a good coach, and ucla gets the big prize, the idiots running this search tried to shove another non-qualified yokul down our throat again and the fans were tired of it. maybe that's unfair to schiano, but I am sorry, everything you read about this guy says he is hard to deal with and pretty much is a butch jones 2.0. he may be a fine coordinator, I dunno, but we did not want him as our coach when their are better qualified candidates out there and quite frankly I dont expect other fanbases to want whats best for us. and of course, I dont expect anyone from virginia to understand what having high expectations for their team is, well, because outside of three years va tech had with Michael vick, no school in that state has ever had any reason to have high expectations. and that's fine, but we are being charged like a top 15 program around here, so it is only fair that we expect to be given coaching candidates that are on par with those requirements. so no, its not everyones fault, its just that the voiceless finally had a voice and no one around here really cares if you like it or not

Greg Schiano is from Northern NJ. I'd say that yokel is.. uh.. not the correct adjective.

What about his one college stint as collegiate head coach says 'unqualified'.. ?

Just my 2 cents here so take with a grain of salt... BUTTTTT problem is ... the Tennessee Volunteers fans are ONE of the most entitled fan bases in the country. The team hasn't recorded a season with l< 3 loses since 2001 and haven't recorded a division record with < 2 losses in over 10 years .... out of the "power teams" in the SEC ..Tennessee only has a winning record vs LSU and Georgia (by 1) all time (Alabama owns the rivalry, Auburn, Florida all better historically matched up. Obv that can be open to interpretation.

YOURE NOT THAT GOOD .. I'm a Miami and Texas (moms alma Mater) fan so I'm well aware of unrealistic expectations but if Tennessee fans EXPECT some hot or big time head coach to just beg for the job or have the pick of the litter, they're crazy !!!!

A top 15-20 program is just that (and I'm being nice... ) it's not top 5-10 like Tennessee fans/brass come across

no more entitled than any other fanbase of a top tier program. all schools fans feel the exact same way about their school. hey, I got no problem with anyone saying we are down right now. it is a fact. that's why we fired butch jones, the team underperformed the last three years. the east has been down and we have had the talent to win it at least two of the last three years. those are missed opportunities that don't come around often. if you want to say the fans were spoiled in the 90's, may be true, but I get tired of seeing the administration over here screw up hires that the fans have to live with for at least three years and then we get the blame because we are tired of their screw-ups.

UVA fans supported their program with same promise through Al Groh and Mike London. Clemson through Bowden. Every fanbase supports through with promise of it getting better.

VT has second longest bowl streak in country behind FSU. They have high expectations and have been closer to them than UT (even with UT loss) recently and I say that as a UVA fan.

UVA expectations are 7-9 wins and a bowl for us that is high based on the requirements that no other school outside of a Military Academy has.

Florida's AD was previously as Miss State. It was known 2 years ago they were going after Mullen (until Chip Kelly became available)

UCLA fired Mora with a large buyout knowing Chip Kelly would come back to the PAC-12.

Those were existing relationships that got those jobs.

Currie's existing relationship is with Bill Snyder.

Schiano was a guy that took the worst program Rutgers around and made it respectable. There is a reason Urban Meyer and Patriot Bill love the guy.

Gruden
Gundy
Brohm
Witten
Clawson
Cutcliffe
Kiffin in a Kiffinesque way.

to name a few, not counting Coaches like Pat Fitzgerald saying he loves Northwestern and don't ask or coaches that have privately said no.

So like any fans you hold your team dear and I respect that, but the reality is that coaches do not hold it that dear or in high regard.

Coach like Matt Campbell or PJ Fleck would have been a good hire last year, but right now based on everyones' actions you are going to either overpay or have to take a shot and hope for the best.

It is not a shot but at this point fanbase, admin, and donors are not clicking and it looks bad for coaches, agents, coaches' families, recruits and more.

Edit: I see you say Top Tier Program but 1/2 the SEC Claims to be, 1/3 PAC-12, 1/8 of Big 12, 1/2 Big 10, 1/3 of ACC. There are not that many Top Tier programs. Top Tier is fluid and is how have you been past decade to fifteen years IMO.

Like I said I have ties to Miami and Texas so I know how you feel .. it's hard to stay on the mountain top

It would be possible for him to get them to the top of the SEC thou

You know you're not a top tier program when the coach of NC State says no... ooof..

Would have been possible at A&M too. He had more newer facilities, an expanded stadium, hot team in Texas recruiting ground.

He should ask for the $42 million fully guaranteed Gundy was offered.
