On Tennessee, I have an SEC thing on Facebook, so hear from a lot of them, they want Gruden and that's basically the only guy that will satisfy them is what I would say, there probably not going to get him, so anyone else would be a letdown, Ill be honest I don't think until yesterday I ever Schiano's name with the Penn State stuff.

All those SEC fans outside of Alabama and Georgia are living off of the reputations of their superiors. You hear those chumps chant S-E-C at bowl games as if getting crushed by the Crimson Tide every year somehow elevates their status. You see this attitude in this UT affair.

Yep. It is quite the deal. I see it even with Mizzou fans. Somehow they think because they have been in SEC for 10 mins that they are now a football power.

they are the michigan of the SEC kind of. they lost fulmer who avged 9-10 wins a season around the same time michigan lost Carr who average the same number. and both have kind of floundered.

this need for teams to win 11 games a year is absurd. urban and saban are outliers. these coaches getting fired for 9 win seasons is just unrealistic.

Some twitter reports out there that Tenn is close to a deal with Brohm.

Brick, you hearing anything on this?

He turned them down once already. It sounds like they are throwing crazy money at him now. It sounds like Purdue is going to/has offered a nice pay bump too. It should be interesting. I think he stays but I also don't know how high Tennessee is willing to go.

I'd expect Kevin Sumlin to be the next coach if Brohm goes.

Sorry RFDC. Brohm has reportedly turned them down again. They are going after Dave Doeren.

No idea why anyone would go to Tenn at this point.

For $7 million a year.

Doeren supposedly is unhappy at NC State. Brohm likes it at Purdue though obviously he won't be there long.

Tennessee is an upgrade from NCST in just about every manner. He would be a fool not to listen if they call. Doeren isn't perfect, especially in game. However, he recruits a remarkable amount of talent to a middling program like NCST. Some would say he even under produces for all the talent he has brought to the school. Still, he has taken two programs with little football history and made them both perennial top 25 programs.

Conference tv deals have changed some of the math though. You're seeing a lot of coaches avoid the headache that comes from places like Tennessee and instead live a nice quality life of a place that won't fire you because you can't beat Alabama and LSU. They've already been turned down by somewhere between 3-5 coaches.

What is different is that seemingly the other coaches were happy with their jobs and supposedly Doeren has been looking for a way out.

It is pretty funny but it's been denied by just about everyone else and Travis has been trying hard to get Currie fired.

Which suggests that Doeren should jump at this while he has the chance. A few mediocre seasons at NC State and he'll be coaching at Mercer. At Tennessee, he'll have the chance to work with or hire top-notch assistants, which he needs, since he can't manage a game (which, interestingly enough, seems to have been every Tennessee coach's problem in the past five years).

Sheesh. Just bring Phillip Fulmer* back at this point. Or dig Johnny Majors up.

*he was a jag, though

Whats Charlie Weiss up to.....other than 500 lbs?

Looks like the NC State fans are praying this is true. They don't seem to like Doeren.

A little surprised aren't going after Tee Martin for Tennessee, maybe if Doeren falls through.

After Tennesee finally gets a coach maybe, then the next fun one to watch does Jimbo Fisher go to Texas A&M, Oregon got worried Taggert was would take Florida State if that happens, there ready to really pay Taggart.

Look at some of the names possibly for Arizona State, interviewing Herm Edwards, seen Mack Brown wants to interview for it, that was a place people were saying Sumlin for.

Stories are out there, Herm Edwards has got the Arizona State job.

_________________

Doeren turning down the job is hilarious. All these other coaches are getting sweet new deals at their schools thanks to Tennessee. Now they're aiming for Sumlin when it's probably the least attractive job for him.

Sumlin can't even get a raise out of the interview!!!

Goober Manning is going to have to take over the coaching search or become coach.

I just can't see it even though it seems logical. It's like he's an afterthought, even though he did something King Goober never could down there.

Steve Spurrier said that Tee Martin should be the Tennessee coach. (Wonder if that is a shot at Manning?)

Why don't you think Martin would work out there?

I think he would. I just wonder how many Vols fans realize that he's been coaching for awhile now & more importantly, that he, not Goober got them the last title.

Plus, I question what the administration does to evaluate coaches who don't seem to be snake oil salesmen like their last few football/basketball coaches.

Yeah, they've had a bad run in both sports, haven't they? It's been puzzling.

I don't even think Manning even played for a title. I think they were always out of it because of the loss to Florida, right? That was amazing to see Martin pull that off. Great win over Florida that year, too.

We should go to an SEC game next year....

He never could get past the Gators, which Tee did with a great win.

And yeah, it would be a blast.
