What they shouldve done was found a great mid major coach or a great offensive/defensive assistant coach and let him build.

The only plus is the 3 million dollar a year salary for assistants.

they said today at the presser that they were going to build the best staff in the nation.

We'll see how that goes, but I don't have high hopes at all.

Still don't see why Tennessee didn't take Tressel, Petrino, or go back to Fulmer to clean things up if they were dropping that far.


Reporter: "how does it feel knowing you were the 3rd or so choice in this search?"
Jones: "well, I was my wife's 3rd choice, and 20 years later that's looking good"

Its crazy that No One went with the proven winner in Petrino. Sure the fans wouldve cried at first but after he wins 9 games they'd STFU

I think that the general worry was they didn't want to hire someone who could bail and leave UT in a bad position again soon.

On top of that, it's too easy to recruit against Petrino at a big school right now. Any coach with a brain between his ears would tell a parent "You really wanna send your son to learn from THAT guy and his ethics/morals? :huhldup:"

I think another interesting tidbit from all of this was that UT was close to bringing in RichRod, but held out because "they didn't want to do what Kiffin had done to Tennessee."
I wouldn't have been happy with Rich Rod anyway.

During this search or the one after Fulmer, or Kiffin?

Bielema is not better than Petrino... he gonna recruit the midwest to arkansas

Malzhan nothin special should of gotten Kirby

Butch Jones... really

Stoops a huge upgrade... one of the top Ds in the country can recruit Florida/Ohio

UK is the biggest winner of these 4

You said better coach, not which one was the best for the program. Like I said, Stoops isn't a better coach than Malzahn and Bielema.

lol @ the Bobby Petrino mentions in this thread, dude lied to his AD and damn near broke state employment laws, dude is not getting a job like TN less than a year removed from that.
