The South Florida stuff definitely helped. He was also the only person it seemed in the entire country that thought Rutgers could be a top tier team. I remember (I was at Rutgers when he was hired) thinking he was a complete moron and he'd be fired or leave in 3 years and I was by far in the majority in thinking that.

So it is mostly an administration issue that keeps the program down. I thought I'd heard that before, but the memory is not what it used to be. Ok, so now think seriously, "How would Schiano fit in Tennessee?" Correct me, but this is what I'm seeing. He overcame a lackadaisical administration, pulled from a college hot bed from previous connections, to find moderate success in a pretty weak conference (sorry Big East apologist). Tennessee has a very hands on administration that has nearly unlimited resources that needs a guy that not so much pulls in talent, but knows how to coach them up to the next level. Not seeing how he'd have success there. He screams small school to me. |

And since I'm on a roll.....
I have the perfect coach for Tennessee: Todd Grantham. He can get you big name recruits. Names all over the field. Teams will run the ball on you at will, but look at those names! And after a couple of years, once you are ready to fire him, he'll somehow get a job offer for $2 dollars more somewhere else and you could get a real coach to do something with all that talent. |

I would point out that it can easily be said that he has coached up his defenders to the next level as DC for Miami and Ohio State. And wasn't that basically the reason to hire Kirby Smart as head coach of UGA?

Part of it, but a long way from all of it. He was Nick Saban's right hand man, a recruiter with deep ties in the south, and played football at Georgia. |

Hell, speaking of coaching up to the next level, 10 Rutgers players (who played under Schiano) are in the NFL today... which... still pretty surprising.

Schiano feels like he would be the perfect hire for someone like Baylor or Illinois.

About those unlimited resources, I saw yesterday that Tennessee's endowment was $1.1B. Purdue's endowment is at $2.5B. Tennessee empasizes football a great deal more but I was surprised at the difference. |

I actually think Tennessee would be better off bringing in an up-and-comer instead of some tired rehash who the game has passed by.
Like I know it wouldn't be a sexy hire but Satterfield from App State would be good for them. Guy seems ahead of the curve for what's going on in college football. |

Those guys weren't 4 and 5*s either. Schiano got a lot out of the 2 and 3*s he had. Schiano had a lot of WTF losses in his time at Rutgers, but he also got Rutgers to be more than the laughingstock of college football. |

If Im UT, I call Justin Fuentes agent and say what's stupid, can't say no money.
Then I offer him 500k more than whatever number I hear. Or if I want a quick short fix, I call Petrino, hold my nose a sign the deal |

Why would anyone leave VT for UT? Fuente would have to be crazy to do that.

So who is Kiffin talking to? I feel like the punchline of the joke was withheld from me.

Mike Leach to Tennessee?
If that happens, every SEC DC should watch the film from the last four Apple Cups to see how to defend his offense. |

I think if the Vols land Leach, they'll have done well. I dont think he wins a title, but I think they can get back to competing. That job is better than either the TTU or WSU job.

The talent available is better, but the psycho fanbase and boosters are a million times worse. Leach could work at Nebraska if they've settled down after the decline they've seen from the Solich years, but UT seems like a nightmare location for him if he doesn't win the SEC East in the first 2 years.

Leach in Tennessee is like a dream come true... for anyone who wants to be entertained by the drama.

It is that easy me to get a coach fired? I wonder if it works for GMs as well.

When your biggest booster is meddling in the search, and is the brother of the majority owner of the Cleveland Browns, I'd think you'd want his advice given his history running a storied and successful NFL franchise...right?

Looks like Jimbo to A&M is going through:
Jimbo Fisher leaving Florida State to accept coaching job at Texas A&M

Biggest job open this year now is the Florida State job. Sounds like Taggert is first up, which means Frost is too far along with Nebraska?

Why isn't Kevin Sumlin's name coming up more for the openings? He seemed to do a good job in getting Texas A&M relevant and was able to recruit talent.

Uh, I believe the reasons that A&M unloaded him -- the inability to get much out of that talent (once he didn't have a generational star) -- would be the obvious reason.
