Report: Strong turns down Tennessee job
Does anybody want to coach Tennessee?
The Vols’ search for a head coach will continue as Louisville’s Charlie Strong has reportedly become the latest coach to turn down an offer to succeed Derek Dooley.
Sports Illustrated, citing an anonymous source, is reporting that Louisville and Strong are working on a contract extension that could be announced as early as Thursday.
“It was Charlie’s desire to end this constant speculation and re-commit long-term to Louisville,” the source was quoted as saying.
Strong, the former Florida defensive coordinator, took over the Cardinals program in 2010 and led them to a 10-2 record and a berth in the Sugar Bowl against Florida this year.
On Wednesday it was reported that Tennessee offered the job to Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy, but Gundy also turned the job down. Earlier speculation had centered on former NFL coach Jon Gruden, but Gruden also said he had no interest in the job.
Tennessee is the last of four SEC schools to fill its coaching vacancy. Kentucky hired Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, Auburn hired Arkansas State head coach Gus Malzahn, and Arkansas hired Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema.
The Vols fired Dooley in November after three years on the job. Dooley was 15-21 overall and 4-7 this year. Other names being mentioned for the job include former Miami and North Carolina coach Butch Davis, current North Carolina coach Larry Fedora and fired Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino.

Gruden was such a pipe dream he never officially rejected it. It would be like an 11th grader sending Aaron Andrews an invitation to be his prom date. It doesn’t even get a response. Somebody chuckles and tosses it in the garbage.

Rejected!!! Would Fullmer even come back for this job? In two weeks Tennessee will hire a guy who was Nick Saban’s roommate at Kent State and is currently a high school coach with a .600 winning percentage.

And the beat goes on. First picks turn them down. Again. Seems like they would learn to have someone secured before letting the first one go. This is why the Vols have fallen from national prominence, they are managed so poorly.

Tenn is under HUGE pressure to upgrade to a coach with a resume kids will recognize and actually move the program forward. This is turning into shades of 3 years ago when Dooley said yes after being the 5th or 6th choice. Believe the public list that made the press so far is Gruden,Strong and Gunden.
They will not hire a no name or an assit. Coach IMO. Looks like the guy Fedora might get the nod…..and excite no one………….Would like to hug Richt when I see him in the spring.

So can we assume that since Kirby Smart’s name hasn’t gained any traction for any of the big openings that he either doesn’t want to coach in the SEC or he’s really coach-in-waiting at Bama? Bama is about to play for yet another BCS Championship so I don’t buy that Smart wouldn’t want to be a distraction to the team when a great career opportunity is waiting. Saban would understand too as he already told Smart to not make lateral moves and hold out for a significant move up. The key to being CIW is that Saban must be suggesting to Smart behind closed doors that he’s not going to stick around too much longer if Smart really has his heart set on Bama. Let’s look at recent SEC openings.
1. Florida – Muschamp, the other recent hot property didn’t wait around forever to take over at Texas and appears to be getting results. This job shouldn’t be available anytime soon.
2. UT – Not a peep about Smart other than from people on message boards.
3. Auburn – Gone quickly without a serious peep about Smart.
The only remaining SEC jobs worth considering with Smart’s stock are Bama, UGA, and LSU but those 3 coaches are pretty safe. Smart’s stock isn’t going to get any higher than it is now so is he waiting to take the first job that becomes available from one of these 3 schools?

You snooze, you lose. Tenn should have had something locked up BEFORE letting Dooley go.
Gary Patterson is the best candidate left but I doubt he will leave TCU for Tenn. Likewise for Strong at Louisville.
Kirby Smart is looking more likely all the time.

Nobody with a decent job would leave for Tennessee.
The players that Fulmer recruited are gone.

The players that Dooley recruited are leaving.
The 2013 Dooley recruiting class has scattered for other schools.
There is little HS talent in Tennessee. Who is going to play for a new coach?

Tenn is going to settle….and they are going to be miffed. Don’t blame them. Go back to Bama getting Saban. They wouldn’t take no for an answer…..They paid. Bama was a mess at the time also. The AD at Tenn is pretty weak. He should of decided and upped the ainty till he got a yes. Wait till he introduces Fedora or Golden….If anyone shows up to introduce them to.

Tennessee and Kentucky are the two least productive states occupied by the SEC when it comes to high school football players. Tennessee is probably the worst, certainly by the square mile. High school programs in Tennessee are nowhere close to what we have in Georgia, nor in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, or Mississippi. Anyone considering the UT job must be willing to recruit heavily outside the state and not rely on any semi-automatic pipeline within the state to take care of 50% or more of the recruitment pool. That is a time-robbing task when in competition with the mega-powers from the other states mentioned. It will take a lot of money to get a topflight coach to risk his career at UT, and they might be better off pursuing someone off the radar, but potentially a star, like a Bobby Wilder at ODU who can tap the Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia market for players and not demand $3-4 million to do it.

Sorry Dog fans. I’m a UGA grad…born and raised in Athens. I lived in Knoxville for 2 years — it is a great place to live with a great fan base. When there is a game on Saturdays, everyone is at the game. — not going shopping in Atlanta. Tenn. is too impatient — there is someone out there who wants that job. They also do a great job of recruiting nationally. And, it’s the only game in town.

Fedora gonna surprise a lot of people. He is super energetic, charismatic, and an offensive guru. His recruiting is going to be very good in his first real recruiting yr. He can get the defense worked out to the point that it will not be a liability. I believe some people know this but are whistling in the dark. UNC will be a factor sooner than later. Players like him.

Being a great player on the field doesn’t always translate into being a prime candidate for head coach, anymore than being an assistant head coach does, in some cases.
Peyton could very well step up to the plate and nobody knows one way or the other. If he is going to be one though, he should first learn the position, and the administration of a team, and he would be wise to spend some time, learning the trade as at least a position coach or an assistant on a team. I surely would love to see him back in the SEC in an important position, but he needs to work his way back into it, if he wants to be a successful coach.
Everybody complains about how much the head coaches get paid, but few realize the complexity of the job, and the constant pressure you experience in the position. Fans like to somehow think they could do a decent job, without even understanding anything about the job. It is more about winning a football game.
Next Vols Coach Should Be

Tee Martin should be the Vols next head coach. He is currently the receivers coach at USC after recently coaching running backs at Kentucky. He led the Vols to their National Championship the year after Peyton Manning left. He’s an excellent recruiter and he is building a great coaching resume. UT this is your man…
mgdawg
December 6th, 2012

The tennessee job is just a really bad job right now. The team is in the dumps and is in the strongest conference. Not to mention the administration doesn’t appear to help out much, they admitted the situation was horrible when dooley took over and only gave him 3 years. I wouldn’t be looking at any big name head coaches because you will be dissapointed and it looks bad when you get turned down. That in fact makes the situation looks even worse then it already is. I would be looking for a coordinator, a younger guy if possible. Usually they can recruit a little better and that would be a good place to start.
I think the administration probably thinks the job is better then it really is and will let this drag out. That’s going to kill recruiting and pretty much kill next year so that it can’t even be a rebuilding year.

UT should stop shooting for the stars and find a good fit for the SEC. They can’t compete with Boone T Pickens’ money, nor ESPN’s.
Even Louisville’s president had stated that he would spend whatever it took to keep strong.
I’d hate to see it, but UT should offer the job to LSU’s John Chavis. He’s been a thorn in the side of Mark Richt many times, and was UT’s DC for years.
If he came back and got UT’s D in good shape, to go with that offense . . .

You have the likes of Bama, Fla and even Ga growing and showing improvements each year and UT falling behind. UT has to have a strong recruiter and a no nonsense kind of guy. Who is that guy?

I love all the VOL haters that post here. We are struggling and yes our previous AD was a joke for firing Fulmer for his own personal ego. Kiffin was the laughing stock of the SEC and we admit it by naming a sexage center after him (smile). Yes we have some bad apples on the team that throw beer cans at cars. Yes we have not won a national championship since 98…. As a university that is proud of our traditions. Facilities that will always be the standards other universities strive to reach. Traditions that many teams have copied over the years….. I know we will rise again and when that day comes I will enjoy my ice tea and saturdays in the fall once again, yet I will not bad mouth other universaties going through trials and tribulations. Soon UGA will be once again be an average team and I will have only good will in my heart for them. I will of course enjoy winning once again and spending the first week in December at the dome cheering for a university that will always do things the correct way once again. The past 4 years have weighed its toll on all of the Big Orange nation, yet we always step up and support our University. GO VOLS!!

They need to hunt down Morgan Hout. He is truly a miracle worker. He came to Liberty from Maryland just after a hurricane had washed away the football complex. In his second year he was coach of the year in Virginia. He introduced the hurry-up offense. He put more players in the pros than did UGA during his 3 years there.
