This from a guy that has made millions in college football for basically doing nothing. Look at the difference at Notre Dame with Brian Kelly and look at the offense of Florida last year compared to his only year at Florida in 2011. When I heard Kansas was hiring him and passing over Phillip Fulmer I just smiled and said they will regret doing so. I stand by my statement.
The current bowl system and the number of bowls cannot sustain itself for many more years. A true playoff at the highest seed stadium and maybe one or two sites for semi final and final are the next wave
Jim Chaney was one of the best things Tennessee had going for it under the terrible and inept coaching of Derek Dooley. I believe Arkansas has a diamond in the rough with this hire. He is a really good offensive mind and would have actually been a better head coach than Derek Dooley was. I think the HOGS will be pleased
Both of these bowls along with about 20 more need to shutdown. The bowl system is dead
Hey Knucklehead St Louis is in the SEC territory now. Missouri is 100 miles west of St Louis. The SEC is a national conference not just a southern conference anymore
Cuonzo Martin is going to be a great coach. He already is very good but will only get better with time. I sure hope he stays at Tennessee for MANY years. He seems like a great person as well.
I will always believe in my heart Tennessee was very foolish to fire Phil Fulmer and history will be back me up if it has not already. I know 100% that if he had been allowed to stay he would have had a winning season the next year. His problem was hiring a new offensive coach that ran a complicated offense that the players simply could not learn in one year and it cost him his job along with a restless fan base that have unrealistic expectations as I have been one of those fans that have thankfully wised up
I see you did not notice the HUGE arena Tennessee has and the nice arena Arkansas has as well. They both are pretty decent most years in basketball and Vanderbilt and LSU are not too shabby as well and so is Alabama. Your logic does not hold water and yes basketball will always be second fiddle in the SEC
It still sticks in my crawl that Tennessee owes this clown 5 million dollars. He already made about 1 million per win his three years there. AD Mike Hamilton the gift that keeps on giving
I do not blame LSU much. I wish Tennessee would leave the SEC for the ACC or BIG 12 because the climb back to the top would be much easier. I would love to be in a conference with some easier teams to beat since Tennessee has a recruiting disadvantage as does Kentucky
Good Riddance and hopefully Tyler Bray goes as well
Great Hire Arkansas. He was the one bright spot in a otherwise dismal coaching staff at Tennessee. He would have been a better head coach than Derek Dooley as would about anybody would but seriously good luck Jim Chaney.
You will be a part of something special at Tennessee and will enjoy living in Knoxville more than Clemson. Almost half million people in Knoxville with a decent nightlife
I think when all is said and done Tennessee got the best coach. They hopefully will be bowling again next year and win 6-8 games
Maybe Tennessee can upset Vanderbilt which is hard to say in the same sentence that it has come to this for Tennessee
If Tennessee could just beat Vanderbilt saturday there in the Liberty, or Birmingham Bowl but that is a big IF the way there defense has played all year.
What really makes me mad is when Kiffin left in the middle of the recruiting season Mike Hamilton had a great interim coach in Kippy Brown who Mike Hamilton said he would interview for the job because Kippy was a Tennessee guy who had just moved back Tennessee to coach for Lane Kiffin. All he got was lip service from the AD and then he was quickly hired as an assistant at the Seattle Seahawks. He should have hired Kippy for at least a year if not permanently and then a lot more of the recruiting class would have been saved in 2010 and I think he would have done a better job than Derek Dooley. Now for financial reasons they have to keep Dooley for at least 1 more year
Hang in there Missouri it will be a 2-3 year learning curve but you will be fine. Tennessee has had highs and lows in the SEC has everybody has. The SEC is a damn good family and welcome
I have also heard Jennings did very little to earn a big salary and got a huge severance package. Pat still makes over 600,000 a year for not coaching and is still in the basketball program. Definitely sour grapes.
Welcome to the SEC Missouri and Texas A&M . I am a Tennessee Volunteer and look forward to Missouri coming to Knoxville on Nov 10th. It should be a great close game. By the way I love both of your uniforms
