Strong believes he has an offer to be Tennessee's coach. And we have been told that he does.

Gundy believes he can be Tennessee's coach and is going to tell them something tomorrow.

I think Strong has wanted the job. But has Tennessee really offered the position to two coaches? That's not commonplace in a coaching search and how does that end?


Hubbs

My bet is we have fricked it up with both of them with this stunt.

-Air raid offense
-No defense
-not a great recruiter, plus has no ties to the south
-Strong would fit with UT 10x better

It freaks me out when the HC completely ignores the game when the D is on the field.

More likely that neither have been offered the job.

Just because he is an offensive coach doesn't mean his team won't play defense. He could get a good D-Coord.

No dog in this fight, but Strong has been getting 4-stars to Louisville...Kentucky. Has had near Top 25 classes since showing up.

He has taken a 4-8 Louisville team that was struggling to beat Arkansas State four years ago into a BCS bowl team. His first season, he takes them bowling. His second season, he upsets West Virginia. His third season, he has Louisville undefeated for the first 9 games of their season. The guy has a program builder.

Louisville fans sure seem to think that he is gone.

The autograph session for Louisville tmmrw was moved to next week, and the said the coaches would not attend that one.

I think Strong is gone.

0 5* and 14 4* combined the past 4 classes. That's not very good.

Gundy hasn't been offered shite.... The stunt he pulled with Arky today proves that. He just wanted Tenn to think that Arky offered him. He was trying to force Tenn's hand, and it didn't work.

Tenn will hire Strong, and it is a damn good hire IMO.

Bring Kiffin back. He's learned a lot in his years at SoCal and with his seat getting warm after this past season, he would jump at the chance to bring Layla back to Knoxville and finish what he started.
