Charlie Strong would rather coach Louisville for 8 years than coach the Vols. I thought Tennessee was the most attractive job on the market? Arky and Auby both have their coaches and Tenner just got turned down by a Big East coach. What gives?

Did Alabama's? We were turned down a lot in our 2003 and 2007 searches.

Tennessee just became the new Vandy and Auburn just became the new MSU

I blame all of this on Clay Travis.

Agree. Things can still work out for Tennessee. Bama was in a bad spot the all of a sudden Saban came out of nowhere.

The funny thing is lots of time the coach that gets hired had no buzz at all b/c it was kept under wraps. Tennessee will get it going again.

All is well per CT:
Clay Travis?@ClayTravisBGID
Vols have a really good job and tons of money to spend. That's a great combination. Just need to pick right guy now.

the thing is everybody has money now... colege football has changed a lot in the last decade.

Coaches realize they can make very good money at places like TCU, Vanderbilt, and Lousville where the jobs aren't necessarily the 24/7 constant scrutiny like some of the higher profile jobs.

Tennessee isn't special anymore and their state is awful for recruiting. They will still be good at times- but they won't ever reach 1990's Tennessee level ever again.

Arky settled for a coach after 200 people told them No, they just hired the first scrub they could find. They will be back in the coach hunt after about 3 years of finishing 4th in the west.

Tennessee's recruiting is not the problem.

UT will be back. Just tough times right now. Every program struggles at times. They've just taken longer to recover because they botched their last two hires

The obsession continues. Each time one of y'all mentions his name, he probably gets 100 page views and 10 twitter follows, leading to even more page views, leading to more money.

I love it.
