You all know who I want, but I also know we won't go after him.
Strong makes sense though. He's been successful as a HC, has a defensive mind, and he's AA. Yes, that latter is a plus for recruiting.

Tennessee should go after Him. I hope Tennessee doesn't lay another egg in the upcoming Coaching search! |

We have inherent disadvantages as the AD said. I don't think the job is as attractive as some may think.

I'd like Gruden too! He did marry a UT girl. Never underestimate the power of pussy!  |

My top two are Petrino and Gruden. I don't want to get into another thread as to why I like Petrino. There's plenty in another thread. |

That doesn't mean Tennessee has to settle for lame Coaches that not a lot of other Schools would want. I think Tennessee should be able to hire a ready for prime time Coach |

Those disadvantages are equalized with $$$. The question is, will we have the balls. |

Did you not read what OV75 said about Gruden in the "smoke" thread? |

I have no reason to doubt him so it sounds like we are, in fact, chasing Gruden. Whether we get him remains to be seen. |

You have to have the money also. The assumption seems to be that it will magically appear, but it depends on what the biggest donors want to do. They may well have decided. Guess we'll find out. |

I'm with 'Nut on the top two. I've got Petrino (not relevant to this thread), Strong and Patterson as my clear top 3 in that order. Strong was near the top of my list when we hired Kiffin and Dooley and he's only cemented his status.

Didn't the Browns just get purchased for a billion. Reckon the till is empty? BTW, Peterson is my #1 guy, but you already knew that if anyone bother to read my posts.

I'll go with Gruden and Strong as my top 2. I could see the positives in Petrino, but I just think the character problems are too dangerous for THIS hire at this time.
My guy the last two times is at UF now.
I know that people think that Gruden failed at Tampa but Saban and Spurrier both failed in the NFL too. He brings credibility and a superstar presence and I don't want to hear how he couldn't recruit... he's a workaholic and has the right personality and name recognition to get it done in a big way.

Not questioning that the money is there. It is. But the owner of it decides how to spend it, not fans on a message board.  |

What makes you think he won't bow to my wishes....I mean just because my wife gives me a meager allowance doesn't mean I can't manage money.  |

The headcases on a message board was a joke, intended to be humorous. That's all.  |

Oh snap. You got me. It was actually an attempt to deflect the discussion with a little dry humor, but whatever. Go back to being the voice of "reason" (actually dissension) if you want. |
