You are correct, I thought it was obvious why, but that is my fault.

Why would PJ Fleck, who will probably be able to name his price and terms after next season for any opening he wants

He won't be able to name anything. Minnesota won't be that good next season.

Fleck can probably get the USC job after next season if he wants it, though.

I just don’t see Fleck leaving Minnesota for Tennessee in its current condition. He’s probably leveraging them for a raise.

That would be an A+ hire given the circumstances. I doubt any coach with options like Fleck is going to Knoxville to await the heavy sanctions. You have to think AU probably reached out to every up and comer and was turned downed and they aren't facing sanctions.

This would be my take as well.

They won’t have to be. They finished 11-2 in 2019 and were ranked in the Top 10 to finish the year. They hadn’t finished the season ranked since 2003, and have done it only 3 times since 1967.

Full disclosure, the only Minnesota game I watched was when they players Maryland. But it was a real wing-banger. Taulia runs over, around, and through a defense that wouldn't hold up 5 minutes against the better SEC offenses. The fact that Maryland was running wild should give pause.

One thing I have learned about the VOLS fanbase is that outside of a select few unrealistic names (Meyer, Freeze), NO hire is going to please everyone in the fanbase. In our current situation, VOLS need to be reasonable about who would actually take over in this mess and support whoever steps up to that challenge. Elliott, Leipold, Fleck ... I would be happy with any of them. I personally hope we get Napier. Our previous AD would hire Adam Gase.

Bill Clark but I doubt he’d take the job.

You hire Chadwell or Kiffin and you make most everyone happy that doesn’t want Fleck or a coordinator.

Kiffin is not coming to Tennessee. I can tell you this with absolute certainty.

Unless you mean Chris or pops

I can tell you with absolute certainty he would take a pay cut to come to Knoxville. But the interest isn’t there on the UTAD side.

UT fans with unbridled confidence and delusional beliefs about their program. Must be the off-season.

I’m sorry - but it’s a fact your boy has been begging for the job for weeks. He’s been texting the Haslams since the investigation news broke.

Such a little naive baby. I get it. You’re butthurt that your coach would leave for another school if given the opportunity.

Tell me more about how Kiffin is just “trolling” UT boosters.
