Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: WoodstockVol on December 06, 2012, 02:29:17 EST Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 06, 2012, 02:30:10 EST Petrino before Butch Davis fizzle. No. :banghead: Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: TallVol on December 06, 2012, 02:32:37 EST At this rate, both of them probably would pass anyway. Hart had bette rebound from this.
Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Volengineer on December 06, 2012, 02:38:25 EST At this point I would hire Fulmer for three years and hope Peyton is ready to become eithe coach or AD. I think I would want him at AD more.This $#@! of hiring people with a passing interest in the fortunes of Tennessee is getting way old.

He's never been caught presiding over an NCAA scandal. FIFY It's just a matter of time... Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: SmokeyJoe on December 06, 2012, 02:41:11 EST fizzle it. Call him!
Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Volznut on December 06, 2012, 02:42:45 EST Davis has pretty much been cleared of wrongdoing. I know...not ideal still, but we just had a UL football coach tell us to take a hike after we offered him 4 million
Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: BanditVol on December 06, 2012, 03:07:05 EST Davis has pretty much been cleared of wrongdoing. I know...not ideal still, but we just had a UL football coach tell us to take a hike after we offered him 4 million Yeah but he got more to stay in a softer job...which is entirely what it was about. Why move if the money is not better? Davis...I don't know...how old is he? If he has been cleared, he might make a decent emergency hire, but we are not at that point yet. Would love to get the Stanford coach. Offer him $4 mill and see what happens? Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Cobbvol on December 06, 2012, 03:23:46 EST Offer Cincinnati's Butch Jones the position as he wants the job, getting him on board by Friday, and call it a f%$^&%g day.
Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: EmerilVOL on December 06, 2012, 03:29:06 EST Why not hire Petrino as his OC and get someone from Miami as his f'en cheating DC too......then we could claim the biggest rogues gallery of cheaters liars and punks known to college football......
IN other words HELL NO!!! Title: Why not Shaw at Stanford. Did good without Luck. Post by: volsboy on December 06, 2012, 03:29:36 EST nm

Davis is 60 Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: BanditVol on December 06, 2012, 03:50:13 EST Offer Cincinnati's Butch Jones the position as he wants the job, getting him on board by Friday, and call it a f%$^&%g day. Would prefer Fedora to Jones. Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Cobbvol on December 06, 2012, 03:52:24 EST Would prefer Fedora to Jones. We are pretty close to have preferences going out the door. Plus, Fedora advised recruits this afternoon that he will be at UNC and is not interested.

IN other words HELL NO!!! Ogeron has experience in the SEC. :naughty: Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: droner on December 06, 2012, 03:54:34 EST Offer Cincinnati's Butch Jones the position as he wants the job, getting him on board by Friday, and call it a f%$^&%g day. Jones reportedly has taken the Colorado job. Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Cobbvol on December 06, 2012, 04:02:47 EST Jones reportedly has taken the Colorado job. Conflicting reports out there on whether he has accepted or not. He might have heard of our fiasco and playing delay tactics to see if his phone rings. No matter what, we (UT) need to make just one more offer to someone. We can't have another rejection IMO. Whomever gets offered better be on the plane to Knoxville when the pen is capped.

We can't have another rejection IMO. Whomever gets offered better be on the plane to Knoxville when the pen is capped. Do you think getting turned down matters? Is it one of those things that, "oh no way, Strong turned them down, I can't go there". I just don't see that. If the situation and money is right for a coach, it's right. What I do think is a concern is the onset of the recruiting dead period, which is December 17. We need to get a coach before then so he can contact the recruits and get a start on improving the class. Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Cobbvol on December 06, 2012, 04:19:10 EST Do you think getting turned down matters? After 3 rejections this week ... yes. Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Creek Walker on December 06, 2012, 04:22:27 EST After 3 rejections this week ... yes. Who is the other one? For that matter, who are the other TWO? I assume one is Gundy but I still do not think UT offered Gundy. Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Cobbvol on December 06, 2012, 04:31:14 EST Who is the other one? For that matter, who are the other TWO? I assume one is Gundy but I still do not think UT offered Gundy. On Sunday, we had 3 top candidates. Gundy was interviewed and pulled his name from the process, after waiting 48 hours. Don't know if he was offered but he heard the pitch and said no thanks. Strong rejection was today. And during this Strong effort today, Fedora advised UT that he was not interested in the position. The 3 top candidates from Sunday are no longer an option. Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Creek Walker on December 06, 2012, 04:35:46 EST I have seen nothing suggesting that Fedora is out of play.
Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: WoodstockVol on December 06, 2012, 05:42:32 EST Offer Cincinnati's Butch Jones the position as he wants the job, getting him on board by Friday, and call it a f%$^&%g day. Butch Jones was Hired by Colorado Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Jethro on December 06, 2012, 02:02:40 EST Davis has pretty much been cleared of wrongdoing. I know...not ideal still, but we just had a UL football coach tell us to take a hike after we offered him 4 million Butch Davis has been cleared in the same sense that OJ and Casey Anthony were cleared of murder charges. Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Volznut on December 06, 2012, 02:21:32 EST Butch Jones was Hired by Colorado he is renegging on it a bit Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: Cobbvol on December 06, 2012, 03:25:40 EST I have seen nothing suggesting that Fedora is out of play. Fedora indicated yesterday he was not interested. Now maybe it was because he realized he was the bronze medal winner, you never know. Title: Re: Ok..with Strong out, how about Butch Davis Post by: BanditVol on December 06, 2012, 03:34:40 EST Fedora indicated yesterday he was not interested. Now maybe it was because he realized he was the bronze medal winner, you never know. All I have seen is a tweet from a recruit saying that Fedora had told him he was coming back. I am going to take that with a grain of salt. :nod: |
