And the new head coach for Tennessee is.......

[Chewbaccer]

I honestly googled the name to see if it was real.

I think it's the best name in coaching.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Jim Bob Cooter. Detroit Lions OC, Tennessee grad.

Keeping it in the family doesn't seem to work out the majority of the time.

 

[starbigd]

I think it's the best name in coaching HISTORY.

FIFY

I think it's the best name in coaching.

Maybe not just in coaching.

Tennessee is in a position similar to ours - not enough in-state talent to sustain a top-level program. Have to hit Georgia and elsewhere hard. The rap on Chip is he doesn't enjoy recruiting, not sure he'd be a good fit.

i know someone who loves to recruit is now available.....

 

[Golden Spur]

Tomato, tomatoe, Pitino, Petrino, let's call the whole thing off

 

[tabascojet]

If Tennessee was smart, they would hire Les Miles.

Say what you want about Les Miles, but 3 things:

1. He recruits well, and Tennessee as a program is somewhere he could recruit well at.
2. He might not be a spread genius, but he understands what it takes to win football games.
3. He brings a toughness/winning type of culture with him, that Tennessee badly needs. Their culture right now is shit. Life Champions, 5 star hearts, and even their coach saying a season with 4 losses wasn't disappointing after being picked to win the east.

But they won't, so that's good.

"but but but they got a trash can"

Welcome to Knoxville Bobby.


Petrino's buyout cut in half if AD Jurich fired

 

[starbigd]

I think it's the best name in coaching.

All he needs is a few players named Duke

 

[Eco]

Two names come to mind:

Beth Mowins
Todd Graham

Is that Arkansas's state motto?

Les knows how to win. He won a natty and got LSU to another one too in unfortunate circumstances(rematches tend to favor the loser of the first matchup)

 

[NolePride]

It's starting to look like Orgeron will be available in a hour or so.

they're stuck with Orgeron for a few years.......his buyout is like 19 million, the entire STATE doesn't have 19 million

 

[TexasExes98]

It's amazing what he can do when there are no expectations.

Their SOS hasn't been very tough.

This right her

Sure......I just think he's a big fish in small pond type.

No, Star has a good point. Strong hired the worst coaching staff in the country, IMO.

If they lose to Troy tonight...They'll borrow it.

 

[Kevin12773]

The OD meltdown alone would be epic..

 

[TexasExes98]

Charlie Strong is doing something he couldn't do at Jexas.

Winning

USF's opponents are a combined 6-13. I didn't include the FCS team they struggled to beat, FYI.
