Tennessee job is open. Dooley Fired

[Oiler]

I wonder what head coach in a BCS conference would leave where they are now. Tennessee will want one having success and that guy may be reluctant to leave. I guess someone from the Big East or ACC may look at moving.

About 90% of the head coaches in BCS conferences would leave for the amount of money Tennessee is about to put on the table.

I don't expect any of these "candidates" to leave but UT has traditionally been one of the best programs in the country. They have a large budget and will attract some interest. They have awesome resources, a great stadium with good fans and they are the top dog in the state. While they are a bit of a rebuilding project at this point, they also have a lot of tradition and will draw some good interest

A Tennessee fan buddy of mine doesn't think Tenn can ever get up in the SEC again. He said that although they get the pick of the talent in Tenn, that Tenn high school football is the weakest in the south. He said the rest of the SEC is kicking their ___ in recruiting regionally. He may just be down on his beloved program. But, he stays up on their business, so I would think he knows what he's talking about.
