Local news currently has a poll about who TN wants as their next coach...

Tee Martin and Les Miles are each around 45% with Tee just slightly ahead.
Kevin Sumlin is around 5% and other around 5%.

I don't have a clue why they haven't given Tee a call yet. He's even said he wants it. Obviously a big reason they want to keep looking foolish and not take a shot at someone who's a UT guy already.

The fact that someone out there actually WANTS that gig

now should be enough to move full speed ahead. Tee would likely do pretty well but can the TN nuts give him the 3 years it's going to take?
BTW I would imagine Dabo and Tee would connect pretty well from a mutual support standpoint. Clemson's gonna do what Clemson's gonna do regardless of how well Tee Martin performs up there.
TN should end the drama and get Tee in the fold immediately. It's their best save.
Go Tigers.

Hard to say. I just got back from SC since the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
But my coworkers are grumbling....and I heard 3 of them mention Lane a time or two.

I know we'd be grumbling if things had gone this poorly.

Truth....they would never take him back. But you can see that they are very concerned about how things are going. They expect the best coaches out there to be begging them for the job.

They'd be better off keeping Brady Hoke as interim for a year and getting someone permanent next year than to bring back Kiffin. Someone would need to be a special level of stupid to want that s-show back.

Considering the state that the whole program and hiring

process is working, they could almost hire Les on a well-paid 1-year term just to stabilize the team and give the program time to get their next long-term leader lined up.
Currie as an AD seems like a big time liability. They probably need to make a change there pretty soon.

I actually like the idea of picking up a coach on waivers especially if its a big name coach like that that can draw recruits like les just don't let him near the QB TN

They need to quit messing around

and hire Art Briles. The guy can coach. If you can excuse a little bad behavior he could win the the SEC East.

Re: Jerry Sandusky to Tennessee is what I'm hearing.

The Vol fans didn't want Greg Shiano, who had only mere "links" to Jerry Sandusky. The fans wanted Jerry Sandusky himself as their new HC. This will be huge if they land him.
