The search was funny, but this is a really good hire for them. Forget who he followed and where, the guy is a winner. Winners follow winners.

Time will tell.
Remember the Chizik dude at the airport? "Boooo. We need a winner"
Oh, wait.....nevermind that 
Seriously, you may be surprised. Give the dude a chance and get behind this hire

What program has he ever built? Not 1. Tennessee has to be rebuilt and who knows if he can recruit in the south against all the elite head coaches we have.

23-14 Big East record
1-5 vs ranked teams (Big East teams)
poverty ranked recruiting classes (does he have any ties to the south? texas?)
Vols needed a home run, this guy might be a double at best. There are gonna be a lot of empty seats in KNoxville next year

I've got to agree with TT9. The guy can coach, but he's only followed Kelly, who is a fantastic coach and recruiter. He doesn't have a track record of building programs, which UTk needs.

do you even watch football outside the SEC
I do, my cousin has started for him. I have watched UC get worse every single year he has been there. The record may not indicate it as the entire Big East is worse, but if you watch, you know.
