Title: Best Coach Still Available?
Post by: murfvol on November 29, 2017, 03:50:17 EST
This has nothing to do with anything other than proven ability. Who are the top coaches left?

Leach
Kiffin
Petrino
Sumlin
Strong
Miles

Horseface is available..lol. He did win the East his first two years. jk...gotta laugh at this mess. Currie has got us to where I feel sorry for whoever is the next coach. He will have a tough job ahead of him.

I will offer my opinion on the coaches you list.
Leach - Yes a top notch offensive mind. Can he recruit is the question. Is a great interview.
Kiffiin - No way in hell do you take him. It is a matter of time until he implodes or explodes. You cannot fix character issues.
Petrino - Again, no way in hell do you take him. See Kiffiin right above.
Sumlin - If your ceiling is 7-8 wins a season, yes. If you want to win the East and Championships, no.
Strong - If he cannot win at Texas, what makes you think he would win at Tennessee? Only if you give an incentive-laden contract with an opt-out clause after 3 years with no money owed.
Miles - Over-the-hill coach still living off the glory days at LSU. Again, he could not win at talent-laden LSU and never developed an even decent offense.

I do not agree that any coach above is head and shoulders above and think several listed are 2nd or 3rd tier right now. Stop living in the football world of 10 years ago because none of these coaches will win the SEC East

I will be glad to break out my 1970's polyester coaching shorts and my pair of black Spot-Bilt coaching shoes and bring UT back from the ashes. I'll do it for $100,000 per year but I will require a 25 million buyout. :toothless:

Are you a defensive oriented coach or a offensive oriented coach. If you are defensive oriented, give them a call.

Um....not a fan of MIles, and would truly be a desperation hire (still better than Schiano!), but he DID win at LSU.  Quite a bit.  Just not enough for this spoiled generation of fans.  Period, dot.

I'm not sold on anyone but Leach. The list is based solely on proven ability to win. The point is there aren't many options.

I spent most of my 30 years on offense.....But for a 25 million buyout I'd keep Shoop to make sure I got fired.
