The CheckerBoard

Gonna go home, say a prayer for Strong to come to UT and hopefully sleep until tomorrow.

Disappointed that a site you have to pay for doesn't contain information that isn't already in the public domain through Twitter. Haven't learned anything yet during the past week that I did not already know from other media outlets. Yes, this site consolidates that information into an easy to read report. However, that isn't worth a subscription fee to me. Follow the right reporters on Twitter, and you can get all of this information on the coaching search.

Finebaum reporting Strong is staying with Louisville. So, potential options now are Larry Fedora (possibly bringing Ellis Johnson as DC), Phil Fulmer (with HUGE contingencies on surround staff), Bobby Petrino (with less guaranteed money and more incentive based pay), Dan Mullen (not very likely), Jim Tressle (even less likely with Tennessee's NCAA problems), Bo Pelini (a guy I thought all along should have been on the radar), or take a flyer on Pat Fitzgerald out of Northwestern (could turn out like Dooley). Thanks for the updates, guys. You've been great through the whole process

Finebaum is only person reporting that. He's not that connected at UT anymore. Don't hang your hat on him.
