And failed both times? And made two bargin bin hires? But this time it will happen? Don't let logic get in the way, carry on...
I agree on thatNiumatalolo would be a fantastic hire at Nebraska IMO.
Is he originally from VA? I was under the impression that was why he left BYUNot realistically sure who they could hire at this point. There doesn't seem to be many options among the G5 candidates, but they've gone that way the last 2 times and it's failed pretty miserably. Can they pull off getting an up and comer at a current G5 school? Do they try and get an NFL assistant? Do they try and get somebody out of the booth(that isn't Gruden)? Ken Niumatalolo is a fantastic coach, but would Tennessee be willing to run the triple option? I don't see why more power programs don't go that route, especially when you're in a recruiting hot bed and can get good defensive players. Paul Johnson has been really good at Ga Tech and they certainly don't recruit near the level Tennessee has the potential too.

Personally, I don't see him coaching again but if he did, its the NFL or bust.I have never understood the infatuation with hiring Gruden, I didn't understand it 6 years ago when his name starts being dropped for every major CFB opening and I don't understand it now when he's been out of coaching for 10 years.
The only benefit to him getting a coaching job is it would get him off MNF and I don't need to hear about the Banana Y Split.

Ohhhh shit! Yes you are rightAre you thinking of Bronco Mendenhall? He's currently at UVA.

No chance they come close to winning the Coastal. As far as their schedule goes, they could easily lose all their remaining games. Also, Broco has really struggled to recruit - which won't fly at any program serious about football.Even he would be a fantastic hire. But not sure he'd leave UVA after two years. He's got them going in the right direction, might have a chance to win the ACC Coastal. Not saying they will but schedule sets up nicely for them.

It wouldn't surprise if they went 4-0 in their next 4 games. They play 3 of the 4 worst teams in the league and get Ga. Tech at home(which will admittedly be a tough game)

That's pretty kind. They've won games, but not convincingly. I think they have easily 4, probably 5 losses left on their schedule.
Admittedly much better than I would have expected though. I was expecting a 2-3 win season
TN has the potential to be a great program. Great fanbase, great facilities, and there is certainly plenty of talent to go 'round in the areas they recruit. Butch shot his wad pretty quick and its only going to go down from here.
A friend of mine (A UT grad) pointed out something interesting a few weeks ago. The Vols have always had a phenomenal track program which also attracted speed athletes. The track program isn't what it used to be either. Could there be a correlation? Possibly. But that aside, Butch isn't your guy

Well that is a bit of irony I guessKeep in mind that during the Derek Dooley era at UT, his best win (arguably) was against Butch Jones and the Bearcats.
