@DanWolken: I think I am literally the only national media member talking about Fedora as a candidate. I don't get it. Would kill at UT or Arkansas.
Fedora seems to be a name a lot of people like.

I'm split on Fedora, you think he's a hire the fan base would get behind?

Heck of a coach but not sure he would unite the fan base. I like him though.

Was it Fedora or Butch Davis that had the NCAA problems?

Maybe not at first, but if he wins everyone would be behind him.......Including me. It's not the sexy hire we all want, but it could work.
I just want to win and be drama free for a while.

Maybe as fallback guy, I just think someone like Strong could recruit way better

I can agree with that. I'm not to high on Golden, but in all fairness he's not had the best situation to deal with. I don't know if either one could recruit well enough.

I was referring to the 68 Georgia Tech hung on him a couple of weeks ago. 77(?) took Steele out of the DC picture.

I'm really starting to warm up to Charlie Strong... Could you imagine Tyler Bray trying to pull off the same crap he did last night with Charlie Strong at HC

I suggested this the other day, he's a hell of a coach and he would turn this thing around.

He should be one of if not the first call Hart makes.

There is not many recruits that wouldnt listen Strong if he was at a place like tennessee. Hell he pulled Bridgewater out of Florida who was a 5* on a few sites

Also agree with trying to get Coach Strong. He has SEC experience and HC experience. Great recruiter and would understand importance of retaining some of the current staff. We need to keep Jay Graham and Sam Pittman.

Golden was put in a tough situation I agree, but so was Dooley, we can't afford to hire someone that you have to make excuses about him struggling because of the current situation he's in. This is the most crucial hire in program history and we need a proven winner, not another maybe. I think Fedora could recruit pretty well here and would be a safe hire, but I hope we can land a bigger fish so to speak.
