Re: Since my last Thread was "dupe"
This is a watershed hire for Tennessee. They are going to try and hire an experienced head coach. They have to. Their three chief rivals are all winning at a high level. They can't afford to let another young, inexperienced coach "grow into" the job.I look for Tennessee to interview Kirby Smart. If offered, I think he would take it. Remember the Dave Hart/Bama connection. He's one of the few candidates without HC experience I believe a school on whom a big-time program would take chance.
Right now, I'd also say there's more of a chance of Derek Dooley coming to Tuscaloosa than Sal Sunseri returning, probably as a recruiting coordinator or assistant director of football operations, etc. A previous post was correct, Sal was able to negotiate a guarantee for 3 yrs.
