Jimmy Hyams reported that Gundy is now out of UT's coaching search lolol. Man, if we don't land Gundy or Strong, I think the fan base will go ballistic. I wonder where it would go from there.

My admin assistant is ready to go ballistic if it's anybody but Gundy (or Gruden ). I have been taking notes about what people are saying around the office because you know, if the coach starts winning next year or the next, everyone is going to say they were behind the hire before the hire was even made.
Scrog, Spurrier has been a d*ck for a long time. You just put up with it in the 90s because he was winning national titles for Florida. I agree that Muschamp is doing pretty great so far. I like the intensity he shows. Yet another reason why people here need to calm down on how much HC experience coaching candidates have here since Muschamp had zero before he took the Florida job.

I'm guessing Fedora would be next in line, though he's an offensive guy and we'd need some good D coaches to balance him out, especially after what we saw this year. He runs a spread offense, so that would be fun to watch at least.
Dave, SEC and national titles are nice, but I love Spurrier, because he is a Gator. Yes, he is a dick. "You can't spell Citrus, with out UT." but we love him. ;D
and I agree HC experience does not mean everything.

The Big 10 coach of the year wasn't even a head coach on the high school level before, let alone college/NFL. He did a prett-ay, prett-ay, prett-ay good job all things considered.
So, yeah, Strong said no due to Louisville reworking his contract according to reports. Good one on Louisville's AD for ponying up the money to keep their man.
Seems like that interview was nothing more than ammunition for a long term contract at Louisville. Whose the next candidate? Petrino, Butch Davis? One of my best friends is from Chattanooga so he's been keeping us up on the job search down here.
I don't know if that is what he set out to do. He's an SEC guy, so you would assume he would want to get back to the SEC at some point. Louisville's AD said that they liked him and would do what it took to keep him. From what I have read, the new deal is worth $4mil a year which is more than UT probably wanted to spend on him.
Basically, this is where the search is going to go south. Much like you said with Texas, UT's fanbase is somewhat delusional. There was serious opposition to Strong (So what he won the Big East? That ain't the SEC!) and Gundy (Close to a NC game ain't an NC game! 7-5 this season? Just another Dooley!), and those were more obviously legitimate coaches. The new I have heard as the next stop if Fedora at UNC, but people again have doubts that he is going to leave UNC after only one season. There is more serious opposition to him since wins at UNC doesn't count apparently. Petrino and Davis have that cloud of NCAA trouble around them, so a lot of people don't want either of those since we are on probation. You can definitely tell it is bad because there is a growing faction that says they should hire Fulmer back which I think is straight crazy talk. From what I have read, Butch Jones would be a good option at this level, but people will be pissed about him for the same reason as Fedora.
The #1 greatest thing about yesterday came late at night when I read a news story where they were asking people at a restaurant about what happened with the coaching search yesterday and who they thought UT might go after now. 2 out of the 3 people said they hoped Hart would return the search back to Gruden hahahaha. I couldn't help but laugh, it's like they don't realize who turned who down. Fantasy land indeed.
Gotta give it to Te'o. Charles Woodson won with 44 tackles and 8 INT's. Te'o has 103 tackles and 7 INT's (as a fucking inside LB). He deserves it.
Manziel put on lots of mileage sure, but he definitely didn't make the impact Tebow and Newton did during their Heisman years. On the scoreboard or the win column.

manziel. they lose at least 2-3 more games without him. the same may be true of klein, but manziel is more fun to watch. and that's what the Heisman is always about. it's never really the best player.
Fedora took my Golden Eagles from decent to a nationally=ranked, conference-winning, two loss team. The year after he left, we DIDN'T WIN A SINGLE GAME. Is the rotting corpse they hired after Fedora that bad, or was Fedora that good? I would love to see Fedora at UT, even though I have no ties to UT.
You've obviously never had to live around Aggies Sang. lol
This is going to be the single greatest moment in the history of the university since being anointed the color maroon. I'll have to hear about this shiz for the rest of the decade. I guess he did make for some good football though.

well he's probably going to be the first fr to ever win it. so everyone will be talking about him that way. get use to it.

Ellis Johnson was a great defensive coordinator for a long time. he just completely flopped as a head coach this season. I guess fedora is a good coach, he won at so miss and he had unc scoring a lot of points this year. but if that is the best tenn can do, they're in trouble.

You're right, the kid had a great year. That Alabama game really solidified his Heisman bid. Guess I'm still mad at the guy for declining Baylor's offer.
Looking back at Woodson's Heisman win in '97, 8 INT's and 40 tackles beat Peyton Manning's 3,819 yds and 37 TDs. Someone owes Manning a trophy.
Upsetting #1 Alabama in Tuscaloosa as a Freshman QB is beyond huge I'll admit.

I heard an interesting couple of things this morning when all the 20:20 vision UT reactionaries were spouting off about how we should have kept Fulmer after all - at the time he was fired, we had the #7 recruiting class in the nation and Tajh Boyd would now be our QB. Pretty depressing. It's hard to even remember the days when we could field top 10 recruiting classes. Now we get 20-30th best, which is still 10th best in the SEC.....

Ok since we are on to a different level of coach notoriety, does anybody know anything about Butch Jones at Cincinatti or Mike MacIntyre at San Jose State?
P.S. I am sure Bacon loved Cal hiring his BFF, Sonny Dykes.
