Why wouldn’t Tennessee go after Les? I’m sure Chavis would go back with him

Les as HC, Chavis as DC, and bring Tee Martin home as the OC

That is a face saving staff for their AD and school

At this point, yes.

Before you allowed Clay Travis to take over the AD, would have been seen as a disaster.

Going to take years for Butch Jones to stop laughing.

Sounds like a good idea ... make Tee Martin a coach in waiting type. Les ain’t gettin’ any younger.

If the fans don't want it, then it ain't happening.

Plenty of fans on Tenn boards are asking for Les now.

I think Les would be a fantastic hire for them. I’d love to only have to play him once every 7 years, hell he may retire before we played him, but he’d give Saban fits every year

Why are so many LSU fans obsessed with UT getting Les?

If Les was that fricking good LSU would have kept him. Everyone in the country saw our damn problems with him. No one wants him. He sucks. End of story.

Bc Les is a moron who couldn’t do at uT anywhere close to what he did at LSU and they’d be searching again in 4 years.

we really just want to offload his buyout money, so yes, he will do great things at UT.

I disagree with everything but the 4 year part. Les is no longer a 10 year coach. Him going to uT for 4-5 years would give them some 8-9 win seasons and, more importantly, a stacked cupboard for the next coach. The position would look a lot more attractive to great prospective coaches at that point.

Would offset the amount of money LSU still owes Les for the buyout, and the Tennessee job would be the highest paying job out there than Miles could realistically land if he were interested.
