Tons of players in the pros, including some of the best of all time. Like I said, Knoxville (and Nashville) are some of my favorite places. This might turn out to be a blessing and brings fans closer. Who would have thought that Penn State (truly the seat of that horrible scandal) would turn it around so fast. Thanks man. The way Penn State got things turned around so fast after probably the biggest scandal in college athletics ever should give Tennessee and Nebraska fans plenty of hope. We are both just one good coaching hire from being nationally relevant again. Even if we strike out this time, I still hope you guys pull it off and get Frost. That guy even looks somewhat like a young Tom Osbourne...perfect guy at the perfect time for your program! 2 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Have to say, I get a chuckle every time I read the title of this thread. And, that is way more about the OP than Tennessee. Ive always kind of liked them and wish they could get a good coach. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 In hindsight maybe getting a “head start” in the coaching search wasn’t that big of an advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment
I.M. OLD Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 What this thread really shows is that it's easier to for a P5 football team to suck than it should be. Quote Link to comment

This tells me we are getting desperate. When we offer Mike Riley $20 million per year tomorrow, you’ll know how bad it’s gotten! I bet you could get him for 3 million a year if you toss in an ice cream machine for the locker room. I think he'd make a decent AD somewhere. Quote Link to comment
Dbqgolfer Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Was just over at volnation. Some are advocating blowing up Doerens Twitter to convince him not to take the Tennessee job if offered. If that happens, what coach in their right mind would ever consider taking a job there? Some also slamming Peyton Manning. Apparently there is a power struggle between boosters, and Peyton chose the wrong side. Feel bad for the rational fans in cases like that; they're all going to get lumped together. Edited November 30, 2017 by Dbqgolfer Quote Link to comment
brophog Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Luckily the Callahan hire happened before the age of Twitter and smartphones. Quote Link to comment

Scarlet Overkill Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 And how do you think having to wait 6 weeks for a new coach would fly these days? Quote Link to comment

Yes, unless that coach is unemployed you are limited to back-channel communications til after the season either-way. Generally speaking, it only helps to fire a HC midseason if you want to give the team a spark, see if the assistants can step-up to get you some wins. Quote Link to comment
