UT isn't as attractive as it once was. No recruiting base, ugly campus, mediocre team in the future, nice facilities and okay women. As a coach who would want that? Gruden? l.o.l. Charlie Strong? Lateral move @ this time in history. UT will settle for someone that we haven't heard of like they did with Dooley.

We weren't in the SEC at the time so I lacked perspective when it happened, but I still don't get why UT settled for Dooley. He seemed like a failure before he began.

Why didn't they just go the Arky/OSU route and hire a temp coach?

Seems better to waste one season rather than three seasons.

I think they can get Butch Jones if they want him, he would be good.

His name is mentioned prominently at UK. I don't think UT is that interested in him, although I agree, would be a a good hire.

As an Alabama fan, I'm cheering for Tennessee to get back on track (I might be the only one). The SEC needs Tennessee to be good. And if you think Tennessee isn't still a great program, you're fooling yourself

no they dont. SEC fans want tenn to be good so bama doesnt always get a cake walk SEC east sched. UTk figuratively passed the torch to LSU in the 2001 SEC champ game, USCe has risen to a much better program. UTk just isnt the job it once was

so SC had 3 decent years and now they're a much better program? what SC has done in the past 3 years is what UT has done for the better part of last 100 years.

worst time in Tennessee history, no recruiting base and UT is still out-recruiting SC. past 3 years has been the BEST stretch in SC history.

LSU fans seem to be insecure when it comes to UT making a comeback

Are you kidding me. LSU stands to benefit more from a UT comeback than any other school. I wish hey would hire Nick Saban.

That would be a double win.
