    ^^^what he said^^^

    Don't think that because Joker was just fired that a decision hadn't been already made. If you paid attention, people on this board even pointed out that a move may be made during the open week. If Mitch knew at the beginning of October that he was not going to bring Joker back, he still would not have said anything before now. You have to let things play out. While we all might not agree with everything MB has done, you can't just rush decisions like this.

    BCG firing decision was made after SEC tournament. Contact was made with Cal's agent before memphis lost in ncaa... Very similar situation likely occured with football.

    Honestly with the jobs that will be coming open, what do you all consider "better options?" Tennessee and Arkansas? Is that it? I don't think Auburn will be available. . . I don't think Smart is going to be Tennessee or Arkansas' number 1 choice.

    Who is UT's #1 choice? I would expect Strong to be Arky's #1 choice but he may or may not leave Da Ville. I think he will but he may not. Smart is the hottest coordinator in the game, he's a defensive guy, and he's a great recruiter. He makes sense for SEC programs. He's a young up and comer who's been tutored by the best football mind in the game today. If you don't think he'll be highly sought after then I don't know what to tell ya. I agree that he may not be #1 on the list for either but I doubt both get their #1 guys. We shall see I guess. I sure as hell hope we end up with him. I think its gonna be a tough sell though.

    I dont see UT going a coordinator route this time. Id say theres a good chance Louisville makes a hard run at Taggart which hasnt really been talked about. Strong will leave. His dream is to be in the SEC. Smart going to Auburn would be very interesting but I doubt they will go the coordinator route also, atleast at the college level. These 2 programs (UT and Auburn) cant afford to grow with a coach they need immediate impact. Id say they will go after a successful head coach elsewhere or someone from the NFL. Just my opinion

  • We are actually more well suited for a 3-4 right now. We have virtually no true 4-3 defensive ends right now. Dupree and Forrest could play the olb spots in 3-4. Cobble at nt, rumrph and Coleman at de's in 3-4.
