I kind of want the Tennessee AD to pull a 180 and announce that they're going to hire Schiano after all, just to see the reaction from the fans.
Your first mistake was assuming the majority of people from the south posess a rational thought process.
I'm not sure what they are cheering or why they are patting themselves on the back?
They act like they are saying no to these coaches. Uh, pretty sure they coaches are saying no to you.
Delusional doesn't even begin to describe these idiots.
That's the rub. The AD ceded the search to the fans as soon as he pulled Schiano's offer. And they're never going to get the coach they think they deserve. So even if the AD finds someone who does want the job there's no way the fanbase is going to go for it.
So now what? I maintain that the only way out of this mess now for the short term is to hire Tee Martin. Even if he flops there then at least it maybe appeases the fans by bringing home one of their own.
There were actually some posts on VolNation earlier this week that the only way the would accept Tee Martin on campus was if he apologized for something he did to the university 20-some years ago. I don't know if he bad-mouthed the university or a booster or what, but I know that there were a lot of posters that continued to hold a grudge against Martin.
They sound like a fanbase that has never spent a couple consecutive decades in the wilderness. I hope that they have fun there.
LOL, the only thing he did 20 some years ago was win a national championship. Is he supposed to apologize for giving them a false sense of superiority?
Wow. Tennessee is terrible at keeping ANYTHING quiet. I guess their AD was at KSU, so it's not like he had to hire any football coaches except maybe hiring Bill Snyder back.
He really needed to take a page from JPs handbook. Do everything as quietly as possible so no one knows who's really a candidate until you've hired someone.
He might end up being their AD for less than one year. Is that some kind of record for a non-interim AD?

But he kind of did do that. He had his guy very early on in Greg Schiano. Where he ****** up was pulling that offer back solely due to public pressure. That was where the wheels came off.
Is Ron Prince available to go to Tennessee?

yep. That was his big mistake in all this. Folding to the pressure was the worst thing he could have done. You can't show that little backbone. You still look bad, even to the people who agree with your decision.
They've gone through:
Schiano
Gundy
Purdue coach
NC St coach
possibly Campbell
I am expecting my call anytime now
Off the top of my head (and depending on which reports you believe), in no particular order the list includes:
Greg Schiano
Jon Gruden
Dave Doeren
David Cutcliffe
Lane Kiffin
Jason Witten (LOL)
Jeff Brohm
Mike Gundy
I'm trying to find the thread - now everyone over there wants Tee Martin. This must be part of their fan angst - here's an older thread from there where they are burying Tee Martin because he called Jalen Hurd "soft & weak" after the he committed to Tennessee.

Now they want Martin?! I hope he tells them to pound sand. These guys make Nebraska fans look downright rational.
