I am surprised that Jeff Tedford hasn't been talked about in the SEC coaching vacancies. The guy was 82-57 at Berkley.
If you can average 8 wins a season at Cal, you have to be doing something right, considering you are virtually next door to USC, UCLA, and Stanford. I know he hit a rough patch in the past couple years, but he is a good coach and I was a little shocked he didn't even get mentioned.
He's done a lot with not much to work with in all honesty.
Maybe a good fit for Tennessee.
Thoughts?
sorry if germans

Dude got fired at Cal. Where all they care about is weed, their van and their Occupy rally. That's all I really need to know.

All I am saying is that when looking for a head coach...the ones that do well are the ones that had better records when they shouldn't have. There is no reason Tedford should have 30 more wins than losses at Cal. The academic standards are higher than most schools, they were playing against top 5 teams consistently with USC and Pete Carrol, and the Joey Harrington Oregon period.
If you are quick to cast him off look at some of the records at previous schools for coaches prior to coming to the SEC.
34-24-1 at Michigan State (Saban)
28-21 at OK State (Les Miles)
20-13 at Duke (Steve Spurrier)
25-20 at Ole Miss (Tommy Tubberville)(not really prior to SEC but prior to getting the Auburn job)
25-14-1 at Texas A&M (Bear Bryant)
Good coaches find ways to win when they shouldn't and you don't need a coach that has a crazy high winning% to be successful in this league.
I am not super high on Tedford, I was merely using him as an example of a type of coach that Tenn should be looking at. Forget the "name", look at the coaching ability.
Either way, I don't give two squats about Tennessee's football program, was just trying to start up some conversation.

The difference between Jeff and those guys O's that he trended downward the longer he was there.
