Fedora could ultimately be a great coach, but they thought they were a lock for Gruden. Then it was Jimbo. Then it was Gundy. Then it was Strong, etc.

As you can see at Tennessee that gets you fired even though it bit us in the rear. I think Strong comes because he wants to be in the SEC with the big boys no matter what the cards offer is as long as UT is in the same ballpark.

Strong knows that SEC jobs will always open up.

You think this will be his only opportunity to get into the league?

And you're trying to call USC fans delusional?

firing a coach without a solid replacement seems to be the modus operendi at ut. i guess they think, "damn, we are tenessee, we will get someone".

Hart should have had a hire lined up within 10 days of firing Dooley. Everyone in the country knew that fancy pants was a gonna and yet he waits to start his search. I hate to keep bashing on Hart but my goodness he screwed this up from day 1. Every AD has a list in his desk drawer for a replacement in every sport and clearly Harts list was suspect. If they can salvage this hairball and get Fedora they better count their lucky stars cause once the list goes beyond him it is slim pickens.........

Maybe they will settle for Morris, then we will have 2 weak opponents.

Nothing decided yet. We could always up our offer if he does stick with Louisville's counter.

Not over yet.

Was it over when the Germans invaded Pearl Harbor?

Seriously...we're talking Charlie Strong here. You know he was probably 5th or 6th on UT's list. And now you're having to fight Lousiville for him?? I think your AD should be gone.

[Coulwoodwarlord]

Hart is a Bama alum, right? Sleeper agent, destroying UT from the inside. Just like Vince had his boy do.

I laughed hard at that.

Good move for Charlie. He's set up to compete for the ACC championship in Louisville's first year in the conference. He's got it pretty good where he's at. A better job will come open for him when he's ready to move on.

Good lord. Where do they go now? Petrino? Bring back Fulmer?

[RoyalAir]

I honestly thought Fedora was the absolute-last-ditch option.

Guess I was wrong.

Back to plan A? Call Gruden and see if, seriously this time, you guys, he wants to coach the Vols?

[scfanz]

Wow, the UT coaching search is turning into a nightmare. They'll be interviewing Kiffen before long.
