    That's true! VQ says no job offer yet and this site hasn't confirmed one either, although the "it is his job to turn down" comment, insinuates one.

    I gave my input in my original thread that I was called a troll in. I don't get how Wes and all the other beat writers deal with all the conflicting stuff coming in. I have a couple friends with inside info and its ridiculous as soon as someone like Wes posts something. I have one guy I completely trust and will only post stuff I hear from him.

    Guys you can't accept a job that you have not been offered.

    Smokey1210....I think I speak for most of us when I say we are speaking hypothedically....as if he were going to be the "one". Noone knows but Hart, and Jones if there is any basis for the speculation.....only time will tell....and Lord willing, we have nothing but time!headslap

  • He is a good coach but he is not SEC ready at all. UT has to bring in a big time coach they cant get this one wrong or else it will set u back another 5-10 years. Good Luck hope u guys get a great coach.

    I hope this is not true. How do you hire one of the few guys that managed to lose to Dooley?

    If it is,at least we will have another shot at landing gruden/strong/fisher in 3 or 4 years.

    So if you lose one game that means you are not as good as the coach that beat you? I guess one coach that beat Vince Lombardi over the years they played must be a better coach. Come on!

  • How does my original post in this thread get down voted? Ridiculous...

    I agree that Jones is a good coach, and the blind love I have for Tennessee football will make me root for him with all my might. However, the realistic side of me tells me this isn't the hire that brings us back to where we were in the 90s, which is what it will take to stay around for more than 4 years.

    And I stand by the position that Jones was outcoached by Dooley in 2011 and do not like being called "ignorant" and downvoted for calling a spade a spade.

    We could have hired the man who brought us the glory of the 90s

    They were talented enough to beat vanderbilt In the 2011 liberty bowl by a larger margin of victory than we just one month before...

    They also started to run the ball against Vandy--if he would have had the scat back that got hurt not get hurt we might have been butt sore from that game. Don't kid yourself they were not as large a margin of defeat in that game as the score showed and you are correct on the talent part as well.

    Oh and I was pulling for the bear cats that night as well. fwiw

    Just flat out ignorant.

    It is a bit of an eyesore...you gotta admit. But, at least BJ can win. That's all that matters to me.
