I would, but I completely understand the reason people don't want him. Smart is very well respected from people in the coaching world and some believe he is even a better DC than Will Muschamp. He has extremely strong ties in the Georgia area which is critical to Tennessee's success and he has a lot of freedom running the defense. I know for a fact Smart is the coach that calls that defensive audibles.
The biggest negative with Smart is if he turns out to be a great hire, he is gone when UGA comes calling. 0 head coaching experience is risky too, but so is every coach thats not a pipe dream. He could be the next Will Muschamp or he could be the next Randy Shannon. Its hard to tell. That's just my two cents.
The best thing for UT is to hire a coach that will unite the fanbase, Smart definitely would not be the guy to do that. I'm positive he will be successful where ever he goes though.

UT is too big a job to take chances on Assistants, IMHO. I think Tedford would be good, if he did like Little Nicky did when he came to LSU: hire assistants from the South. Saban brought nobody from MSU with him. Went out and got Fisher, Muschamp, Dooley, etc.
