One name we’re hearing that is high on the list for new Tennessee AD Danny White is Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott, whose offenses have been elite:

White interviewed him for the UCF job three years ago before hiring Heupel. So he’s comfortable with him, but he’s at best a fallback option.

The more turnover for UT the better for Kentucky

Any OC is going to appear elite when you have QBs like Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence going up against ACC defenses every week.

I don't think we're going to hire any names that the national media reports. They're keeping this thing tight to the vest like they did with the AD hire.

Uh oh. They named a top candidate for a coaching job. That’s a fireable offense.

I don't think he's that great, actually. Their offense this year regressed.

I've been wondering when the offers would start landing at his feet. It's a wonder he hasn't gotten more.

Danny White hired University of Buffalo's Lance Leipold a few years back. Lance has been a friend for years and I sent him a text earlier this week asking if he threw his hat in the ring and crickets- usually he responds immediately, including recently when he was interviewing for the Illini job. He was the frontrunner for the job until Bielema interviewed. Not sure what it means but just sayin'.

Why keep making the same mistake and hire an OC when you can get a former head coach?
