They are shooting themselves in the foot by hiring these waiting in the wing SEC coaches.

I don't know about that. Back to back conference championships say a lot.

Petrino has contacted stAte about replacing Malzhan.

He should contact WKU if Taggert leaves; they can entice him with da goats and save the secretaries.

Has he been a head coach before??

Been told Taggart is the front-runner at USF, and a deal is expected to be finalized soon.

As for Chavis, he was a former walk-on offensive lineman at Tennessee and was an assistant coach and defensive coordinator for the Vols under Fulmer but has never been a head coach. He feels more comfortable doing what he's doing and avoiding the spotlight. Chavis got canned along with Fulmer at midseason in 2007. He ended up at LSU and has proven to still be a top-notch coach.

cross your fingers that John Chavis will be the next Tennesse head coach.

If he wanted to be a HC, he would be by now
