Sonny Dykes could be the next Saban and we couldn't hire him. People won't support another guy from La Tech, and he's primarily benefiting from Franklin's offense anyway.
Butch Jones got his tail handed to him last year by Dooley, and I fail to see the real attraction.
Chad Morris is good and respected as an offensive mind and a recruiter.
Kirby is Kirby. We'll see. It's hard to tell how much he does and how much he's just carrying Saban's water.

Totally agree on Dykes.
That was last year. Butch's Cincy team has made leaps and bounds since then. He's won everywhere he's been.
Morris is a great offensive mind, but still pretty raw in terms of college coaching experience. I would be hesitant to give him a big job like UT HC so quickly.
Kirby would be a good choice and the #1 choice if UT would take a coordinator, I just don't know if they would at this juncture.

You gotta be effing kidding me! Feldman has no clue if he thinks that's where the coaching search is headed this go-round.

YES!.........I think Bruce is pretty solid, but I disagree with this list. Absolutely no way we hire dykes.

If any of those are our next coach I would consider it a failure. They need to be like 10,11,12,13 on the list.

My only take-away from this is that Feldman doesn't think much of us at all, does he? Oh, well, he doesn't know anything about us, either.

Ah, yes. "Proud" alumnus that he is, always proclaiming that we ought to happily accept that we'll never be more than a middle of the road program, and that because we won't, our fan base is the most delusional in the SEC.
Either he's lying to pander to his base, or he's telling the truth and is delusional himself, having been brainwashed by the Bammers.
Since he's been shrewd enough to make millions, I choose to believe the former.

... it's all about the Benjamin's, IMO - so, I'd choose the latter too. #jerryspringervoiceofthesec

I'll be really upset if we make any one of these hires. If we are unable to get a guy with HC experience that has won already, then that tells me that I should be worried about the overall health of the athletic dept and its leadership. Say what you want about dooley, but he's brought in talent. We have one of the most talented offenses in the country. Contrary to what the numbers might say, we have some talent on defense as well. Enough that somebody bigger than any of the guys Feldman mentioned should be interested.
GO VOLS!!
