Jones is one of the few coaches that Dooley could beat. There will be major heck to pay if that hire is made

Wes, are you saying that TN appears to have no interest in Fedora? I can't imagine we would have that much interest in Jones and none in Fedora.

Also, do you think Fedora would leave UNC after one year to come to TN?

The more I hear, the more I like the sound of Fedora. I just don't see a real downside to the guy (as far as his record and talents go), which is unlike most of the other candidates (perhaps including Gruden) that we keep hearing about.
All told, I wouldn't mind getting Gruden even though I seriously doubt that he'd stay any more than four years here in Knoxville before leaving for an NFL job. But I also wouldn't mind hiring Fedora, whom I believe would succeed and end up staying at UT as his "destination job" for as long as he kept winning.
