UT being handcuffed

By the timing of this firing. You do not bring in Steele unless you promise him that he will be on the staff next year. You will have a hard time hiring a coach when you limit who he can bring in. You can not hire Freeze if you are facing NCAA penalties. You do not announce Fulmer's retirement before you have a new coach in place. UT is facing the scenario that some accused Auburn being in last month. Hiring Steele as a temporary fix for a year or two and then picking the coach you need. AU saw that wouldn't work, but I think UTs hands are handcuffed now.

Good. Steele for a year is better than seeing cornbread on the sidelines next year. And we got Fulmer out too.

Everyone welcome Jeff Fisher as the new UT coach. Lol

Give us a list of coaches being interviewed.

I think Steele is the likely guy to take over for a year or two. I think that is the reason he was brought in, because I don't think Pruitt was wanting to hire him as DC.

I don't know anyone connected to UTs BOTs, maybe you can pull out all your connections and get a list. I am sure your Bammer buddy who collects garbage in the Northriver Yacht Club can help you out.

After the bullshite you talked during the Auburn search, it's clear you don't know anyone connected to the AU BOTs either. And I know: "I'm just mad Kevin Steele didn't get the Auburn job".

No, dumbass, I just posted a list of who they had already interviewed. What bullshite are you talking about ? Like I said when I posted it, I didn't know who they would pick, but I did know who they interviewed at that point. Most of those names have been tied to other jobs or even hired by other schools, so keep trying.

UT isn't handcuffed by Steele. They're handcuffed by proxy due to the NCAA. Steele is going to end up being their only long term viable option. Nobody's going to touch that job.

Did they fire Pruitt for cause? If so, no other coach will touch that job. And Pruitt will end up with a show cause as well

No way Steele is a long term solution. I think the NCAA issues are just a smokescreen to get rid of Pruitt, the problem is they didn't have a plan when this went South. It looks like Fulmer blocked any attempt to get rid of JP early in the process, so now the have to retire him first. Steele might end up somewhere in the AD long term, but any coaches he brings in are screwed.

No, UT will do what every SEC Program does when they get in trouble. They will hire as many alums as the can find to try and unite the fan base. Happens like clockwork.
