I'm going to strangle the next inbred hillbilly that utters those words.

What difference is a tie to Tennessee going to do to make this program abetter? Is a coach with ties to tennessee going to get better through osmosis because he has ties to Tennessee?

You hire the best coach...PERIOD.

Oh they're just on a roll about the "loyalty" shit. All the Fulmersexuals are sitting around creaming their pants over this one. There's gonna be a run on Tide and Wranglers at Wal-Mart. Stock up.

The biggest problem with the Tennessee Ties thing is that there's not a Johnny Majors out there anywhere. Fulmer's inbred coaching hires left us with nobody like that. Cut or Kippy would NOT be the long term solution. Hell, I'd rather we bring Clawson back before we hire either of those two. The only problem he apparently had here was named FULMER........

A Dave Clawsen hire would not upset me. It would also be the biggest FU, one could send to Fill-Up and Hyams.

Yep Lane "The Weasel of OZ" Kiffin was the BEST COACH PERIOD...

fuckin..... tootsie you're spinning sooo fast you're droolin'

Often the BEST isn't available of the BEST isn't suitable for the situation - and yes football is a situational game..

The BEST needs to be a coach who can come in and undo the wasted 14 months of the Kiffin era - the lies, the bullshit, - some one that indeed buts Tennessee at the head of the class.

Tennessee doesn't need to be a better program - it needs to become Tennessee not some sorta carnival being lead by a assclown like Kiffin..

Lovie Smith, Rodney Garner, Trooper Taylor, Jeremy Bates...or any of the guys we have remaining on staff. That's really about it, and all of them are really, REALLY reaching to say they have 'Tennessee Ties' and I doubt any of them would work out. Of course, I'm of the opinion that there is absolutely no way in hell ANYONE we hire right now is ultimately going to work out so...yeah, whatever. Dont really care who we hire.

Gotta find an established coach who may be ready for a different challenge - and those are difficult to convince to make the change..

Or hire an out of work guy who has a decent track record - like Texas Tech hiring Tubby (FWIW the man just signed up one hell of OC)

Then what appears to be a trend - troll the NFL scrap heap.. Guys who don't mind losing 6 to 10 games a year..

hell, I was talking with a NFL scout about that last night - and mentioned Tennessee should toss the bank at Jimmy Johnson as nothing more a fly-in figure head - let him put in a staff of youngsters and make them work their asses off. Style points, class, and good hair..
