  • Good to see the old bro doing more than just reading. I would dance like Vanilla Ice if Gruden was hired. I think what the Vols need is someone with some bark and bite on the sidelines, not just during games, but practices as well. I heard Saban's practices you can hear a pin drop while at UT its like a neighborhood cookout on the sidelines. Stealing Chavis back would make my day too, but why would he want to give up what he's got for a "chance" to rebuild at UT?

  • Not quite as saavy with the thesaurus as the elder Ryan. I'm a worker bee. Not sure I even spelled saavy or thesaurus right. I follow along but just like politics I'm usually not informed enough to comment.

  • I'm not trash talking. That's how brothers encourage. I just like to see him use words like svelt. He's entertining and informative simultaneously. I spelled that right and used a six syllable word. But really back to Vols and their quest for Gruden.

  • Great work, KR. Greg Roman is an intriguing candidate for sure.

    As I sit here and read,and read,...there is one coach who seems to be lost in the fray that I think would be GREAT!! In 2 words...TROOPER TAYLOR!! He's got that FIRE in his gut!! (Remember Bruce Pearl?)

    waveWelcome to the world of posting on the CheckerBoard ricasha. Glad you chimed in.

    BUTCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. GO VOLS!

  • I'm startin to really like fedora. Tha fact that recruits say they love him, and I guess florida ad has said that he would hire him if mud champ quit today. I mean he has hired two home run coaches in tha last decade so if says he's a up in coming coach I beleive him. It is a little chancy but so was Brian Kelley to ND, and Meyer to Florida. I say we take this guy before someone else does!

  • Butch Jones to UK is close to a lateral move IMO. True he would go from the big least to the $EC. But UK isn't even a bottom feeder in that conference and is truly a distraction until they take the hardwood in the winter.

    Jimbo Fisher feels "under appreciated?!" He may be a great recruiter but what has he done at FSU as head coach?! Bad conference which he hasn't exactly dominated and loses to Florida...? You dont want him.

    And Bob Stoops to UT?! Uhhhh that's laughable. And don't pin it on "he makes too much money." The odds of him leaving OU for UT is about as likely as Saban returning to Kent State.

    Strong would be a great hire. And he should greatly value the UT job over the Auburn job based on the fact, yes fact, that auburn is filthy dirty. Disagree? Then how the hell could a hack like Chizik (check his resume) win a NC there?!?!?! They're currently being investigated though the NCAA has shown a penchant for looking the other way when it comes to Auburn.....

    Strong is the guy for UT.

    I thought that the NCAA said it wasn't over or it was reopening or something to that effect?

    No NCSUx people are trying to keep the fight alive, but for all intents and purposes it's done. Would love to see UT reemerge (not with Fedora). For some reason I can respect the Vols more than those teams in Alabama.

    I think this is a whloe new can of worms for AU 2 assistant coaches Trooper being one suspended for questionable recruiting tactics (money,HS grade transcripts,ect,ect. Read this on Cbssports.com a couple of weeks ago things are not good on the plains.
