My very educated guess about the next coach...

In the past 9 days other than sleep, eat, , and sex I have done literally nothing, but research, talk about, or text about Tennessee's coaching search. From my far too many hours spent, I would rank the chance of hiring each coach as follows: 60% Fedora, 20% Strong, 10% Gruden, 7% Fisher, 2.95% Other, .05% Butch Jones.
I would be shocked if it was anyone besides Fedora, Strong, or Gruden.
Now let's get this hire over with before we all lose our jobs for lack of productivity!

I completely agree and am good with that list and ranking.

I Know, I should be ashamed. I made them quickies though. No foreplay. Lol

What is this foreplay of which you speak?

Fedora and Butch Jones are pretty much the only candidates I don't want.

Jones and Fedora have 1 losing season total between them as HC's, IMO they're as good as most everyone on the list. Obviously Gruden is tops for almost everyone, after that there is a huge drop off in WOW factor.

I hate both of there offenses, and neither have proved to recruit at a high level... I'm not saying they might not be successful, I'm more interested in a defense 1st coach with a strong run game.

Agree that Fedora is up there in % terms. I think Golden is too.

Neither have been in a position to be able to recruit at a high level, but neither had Meyer till he got at Florida.

The word, and I have no sources, I have seen tonight is that Jim Tressel has a lot of smoke blowing around about him landing the UT gig. TIFWIW

you might want to do a little research on Fedora as a offensive cordinator. Some great numbers and his won lost record as a head coach under the circumstances is pretty good. I am with you on Jones though.

If we were to hire Tressel I think we would've done it after Troy or Mizzou so his suspension could start this year and he'd be able to coach by Oregon game.
