I want nothing but the best for coach H, but I think it's best that he continues down his own path and oklahoma goes down it's own...things could've been handled a little better, and I'm sure coach stoops would admit as much if he was tossing back a few bottles of suds. Proud of where Josh has found himself and wish nothing but success, except for this Saturday night. I'm thinking about sending him a 500 dollar gift card to tarahumaras, and perhaps he will eat so much mexican food that he will get the shits and not be able to coach.

If Venables doesn’t pan out, I’d go all in for Heupel.
Tennessee is great in many aspects, but so is OU.
Difference is OU has the historical blue-blood prestige that Tennessee doesn’t have.
Heupel would be welcomed with open arms in Norman.
If Heupel’s alma matter comes calling for him back, Tennessee fans should be concerned.

Guess all those reasons are why you haven’t won much since the 90s.

No, but lately they have consistently beat the mediocre teams, like LSU.

To Okie? Why? Vols have more money and are fully invested in him. And he is fully invested in the Vols.
To the NFL? All I hear is his gimmick AirRaid doesn’t translate to the NFL
To another college? No value in it unless White goes.
Retire? Doubtful.
Who is on the short list for when Kelly’s buyout becomes doable for LSU? That’s the better question.

Quite the opposite the Vols don’t have more money because if they did they wouldn’t be trying to pass the cost of doing business in college football to the fans …. I see a lot of teams
Talk but your the first school who bowed down.
It doesn’t matter anyhow . Venables has OU in great shape . We had record revenue and record donation from the fan base . We are playing great defense again which is big deal to many fans of the 80-2009 teams . Offense right now has nothing to do with coaching …. We have been a top 5 offense more often than not and even last year we was . Literally not one OU fan is talking about replacing a great coach like Venables . Injuries are the only concern right now .
Athletic revenue at OU has always been high . Most schools do not profit for athletics OU does. Most now factor donations into revenue numbers which doesn’t give you a real indication of how well programs are being ran . It’s all fine and dandy till the donations dry up . Some school it will never happen. Most in the sec are in this category .

Probably

I wouldn’t say never but many of these coaches once they leave their current jobs you hardly ever hear from them again.

You will see the smart programs do a 10% increase in ticket prices for next year. The better programs will be honest about it. The poor programs (in leadership or funds) will struggle and play catch up til they can’t keep up and get left behind when we move to a super conference model.
White has kept UT athletics ahead of the game and is being honest about where the money is going.

Tennessee has several multi-billionaire donors. They have one of the most advanced and well-oiled collectives.
Guaranteed they have more money than Oklahoma.
You are obviously behind the curve. Do you think other schools are not going to pass on the cost to the fans? Really? Perhaps an Economics 101 class at the local community college may be of benefit to you.
This is where Tennessee finished with an 8-4 season.

Uh no. Any success you guys have had has been against weak competition. Tennessee, when they are elite, had to beat actual teams like Bama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Auburn, etc. You guys stacked wins against a bunch of Kansas and second rate Texas teams. There is no hiding behind weak schedules anymore.

Tennessee is a better job

Oklahoma is not a lesser job, so I'm not sure who you are trying to troll here.

That was like 2 years during the Fulmer years. 10 if you want to count Alabama's dark ages to Tennessee's success over them for some odd reason.
Tennessee has a total of 2 legitimate titles in it's entire history. The other was back in 1951.
And if you for some reason believe the SEC was the powerhouse it is today back then, or even in 98 really, well you are just blatantly wrong.

Well, I'm sure you'll be making an argument to support that assertion any day now.
Back in reality, there is a reason why Tennessee hasn't attracted a big name coach in...ever. Fulmer was the only recent coach with success, and he was a 1st time coach/former player.
So if it's such a great coaching job, why can't they hire big name coaches? Why did Kiffin leave in the middle of the night after one season? It wasn't because he was scared of the SEC like Riley.

Tennessee fans don't base their self worth on such. Unlike Alabam who feels the need to award them selves 8 or 9 fake championships, and then insist that they are legitmate.

It has been down a bit during Alabama and Cheating Nick's big run. Other Saban maybe gets 2 NCs.
