Chip Kelly betting favorite to be next Tennessee coach in first offshore odds

Kelly at #1 has me feeling some kind of way

Then I remember we are VOLS and seeing Norvell and Butch Jr so high makes me want to puke

My money is on Jim Bob Cooter

Not so sure Kelly's success at Oregon would automatically mean success in the SEC. It sure didn't work in the NFL. Other coaches are learning this like Bert. Personally I'd rather have BmfP.

Offshore, meaning a pond on some TN fan's property?

I'll be very surprised if Chip Kelly chooses a SEC school for his next stop. He'll be the next coach of UCLA IMO.

The success that UT has with hiring football coaches, the AD will work from the bottom up. The numbers are bigger so that must be a good thing.

But, seriously. I don't see the utility in firing a coach in the middle of the season without something like a Hugh Freeze, Bobby Petrino or Rick Pitino like revelation. Is the team going to be that different with the head man gone? The assistants will spend the rest of the season looking out for themselves (looking for new jobs). I mean, prospective hires know what the situation is or will be at the end of the season. I just don't see why you do it other than the AD and Pres taking pressure off of themselves from their fans that are demanding a change.

I would like to see Chip in the SEC.
