Jim Tressel From what I understand, this is the order of preference. Confirmed that Tennessee has contacted the first 4 through intermediaries.

He's got some baggage, but USF settle with him which suggests he was let go w/o just cause.

volfan30 Member since Jun 2010 20853 posts	re: Tennessee Coaching Hot Board (Posted on 11/11/12 at 5:10 pm to kywildcatfanone) I seriously doubt it will be Tressel. It will likely be one of the first four.

Right. But do you really want to run the risk of getting hit with NCAA Penalties for hiring him?

After Pearl's issues and then the Kiffin debacle I don't see UT going after him. I think they want someone with a squeaky clean image in regards to the NCAA. This post was edited on 11/11 at 5:16 pm

Tressel is a great coach, not worth the trouble to have Indy snooping around.

Gonna be a big pickup for where ever he goes

We're both going after the same guys. I imagine there might a bidding war between us at some point. Even more likely when Auburn jumps into the fold as well.
