re: Tennessee names TE coach Larry Scott new offensive coordinator

The fact that not a single vol fan even tried to defend this joke of a hire, every one instead ignored the subject. I actually understand the Scott hire, keep continuity as it's true that you aren't going to hire a big name for a coach on the hot seat unless you overpay. That said, Weinke SAID he wanted the QB job and you gave it to Canales? Wut?

Reason given is Weinke hasn't recruited as a college coach. I'm sure wearing a NC ring and asking the recruit if he wanted to see his Heisman Trophy would have made recruiting hard for him. I guess Butch figured no one in TN would be able to recognize the Heisman since they've never seen one???

Perhaps an even bigger misstep is coming soon. TN is crazy not to hire Blackburn as AD, it appears they will look elsewhere. Rumors galore but biggest one against Blackburn is the Haslems are trying to block it. Thornton is on board. New hire coming in for TN wants the Cincy guy, Haslems want Fulmer.
