I'd take Peterson...don't know how he'd recruit in the South being a West coast guy? I read today his buyout is just 1.5 million?

He'd have to hire some assistants with experience in the region, for sure. But Butch had no Southern connections, either, and he recruited just fine.

Butch did recruit quite a bit in the Southeast before coming to UT. Not sure Peterson ever has.

Recruiting wouldn't be much of an issue, IMO. If Peterson is the coach, high school kids will come because he will help them get to the NFL. It's the same reason they pick Bama

It would seem this hire was done a while ago and was not announced until the end of the regular season due to who was hired. Does that give us any clue as to who it is?

I do think it's been done for a while. But I wouldn't read anything into waiting to make the announcement. I can't recall any school announcing a new coach in mid-season, unless it's an interim who's already there. Even when we hired Kiffin it started leaking a day or two before the last game, but nothing official came out until it was over.

A few of points: Tennessee tends to honor the unofficial rule that you don't contact coaches directly in season. As such I doubt that Currie flew to the West coast this week. Also include the absolute fact that he attended sports events in Knoxville at at Atlantis the entire week would question the validity of John's reporting. John said would make his pick within 72 hours but, though he implied it, he never said it would be announced If indeed it is Monday it will NOT be Gruden, as he will be in Pittsburgh for his Monday night gig. Given the above, and the general perception that Currie has had a big fish then my guess would be Peterson. I would note that the buzz of Mullen essential died when the rubber hit the road, as in their season ended. Peterson would fit in the Currie MO in that until late yesterday there has been little or no speculation regarding him. If it is indeed Peterson I think he could do very well here, given the right staff

If it's Petersen, I will buy ribs at JD's Smokehouse in Connelly Springs, NC for every VTTW poster who shows up.

If Washington wins today, they'll play next Saturday, so it seems unlikely Petersen is the guy.

I see Petersen as the only coach that would not create a fan backlash over "should have been Gruden" Barring the unlikely (Gruden), I am really surprised there have not been controlled leaks to start managing fanbase expectations. Which leaves me here-------it is Gruden. Or Petersen. Or Mullen. Or Norvell. Or csmpbell. Or Schiano. Or Brohm. Or Les Miles. Or Kiffin. Or me.

Congrats. You're the first person here (including the dumbass who started this thread) to spell PetersEn's name correctly. Seeing as he's going to be our coach for the next 20 years, we'd all better start getting these things right.

1) Congratulations Louis! I'm available to interview for both OC and DC at your convenience. If it helps, I could do both.
2) Thanks for the heads-up on PetersEn's name BDV. I'll spell it correctly on the memo line of my check for $25 to help fund his buyout.

Petersen would be about as good a hire as one could ask for, if he is the man. As for the last sentence in your post, I'm sure a lot of folks said the same thing about the last three Vol hires.

Well then clue me in. I'm used to folks that say what they mean instead of beating around the bush. What I read was "Petersen could do good here given the right staff". Well duh on me.

Chip Kelly: While attention centers on Florida and UCLA, Kelly has turned down overtures from Tennessee and Nebraska according to George Schroeder of USA Today. Schroeder also reports that Kelly is intrigued by a potential opening at Arizona State, whose affiliation with Adidas would be less of a sticking point for close friend Phil Knight than UCLA-affiliated Under Armour, who Knight considers “a bitter rival.”

Considering ALL the major spots outlets have confirmed Kelly to UCLA, spot on - if you consider us not offering, turning down then again, spot on

Your point? From what I've heard, Tennessee never contacted Kelly. And, Schroeder was off base almost entirely. Pure, incorrect speculation.
