"Well...we got what we wanted...."

Alright folks. settle down. just sit back and listen to what pudge thinks and what we need to do, which i shouldnt have to remind you about this kind of things, but i know what im talking about. but let me give you my list of names that could/should be or why they shouldnt be the next head coach at Tennessee. in no particular order....
A. Paul Johnson- hmm...i dont know. i like the triple option.
B. Jim Leavitt- former head coach at USF, which btw killed west virginia spread option (when they were good) and got up to #2 in the nation. thats south florida btw.
C. Gary Patterson- head coach at TCU. i mean he went 13-0 there and played in the fiesta bowl, he goes 13-0 at UT and plays for it all. why wouldnt he leave?
D. Tommy Tuberville- well he hasnt really made it official at texas tech, and dont you think that he would like to get some revenge on a certain sec school or two?
E. David Cutcliffe- Why not? bring back john chavis and continue on the way we were going...
F. Chris Peterson- the punk at boise state?
G. a former nfl coach??? gruden, dungy, lovie smith, bill cowher, jack del rio. whatever
H. and this is my pick. just as it was last year. a young man by the name of randy edsall. he has a winning record at...connecticut. including 3 straight bowl trips and a conference title. if dude can win there (where they just whooped south carolina in a bowl game) dont you think he could win at tennessee???
I. steve spurrier- most would hate it but...consider where we are.
J. Mike Leach- i dont think this is the way to go. you have to play D and run the ball to win. of which he knows neither.
K. Russ Huessman- utc head guy makes the jump the knoxville.
L. Tommy West- former memphis boss? doubt it.
M. Dave Clawson- well...
N. Robb Akey- head coach of idaho. check him out.
O. Mike Stoops- arizona head coach

ok enough about those guys. lets talk about who we should be mad at. ourselves. well not so much me, because i didnt want it to happen. but all of those fulmer haters out there- congrats. you got what you wanted. and now we are the laughing stock of the sec. we wanted a hired gun and he screwed us big time. oh and btw the guy has a career losing record. big phil? he just won 75% of his games. phil would never ever leave the university of tennessee, no matter the school, the job, or the amount of money. and now we have been left holding the bag. and who is to say that the next joker doesnt do the same thing. granted 2 out of 4 losing seasons isnt acceptable, but now our best bet would be to go begging him back. and if i were phil id say screw you, but we all know good and well that will never happen. heaven forbid we go get a coach with a national title and 100 games over .500 on his record. i also blame and think that we should be mad at mike hamilton. he is the one who buckled to the boosters and then went and hired the jerk. this will set our program back 3-4 years at best. i mean if youre honest you know that we werent gonna be any better than 7-5 8-4 again next year, but...2011 and 2012 were starting to look good. it hurts us because weve got to get a coach in before the weekend- and unless you want joe schmoe from small school u- that aint gonna happen. and if we get a "big name" coach- he is bailing on his school just like ours did... it hurts us because we are less than a month from national signing day and we dont have a coach. and this is the second time in as many years that we are scambling to put together a staff to scape a class together. unacceptable in my opinion. so who knows how it will all play out. but let me leave you with a few things. avoid the rush, hate bama early. and finally...dont forget this folks. we are now, and have been a basketball school!!! bruce and the boys are back!!! lets go big orange!
