Clay Travis is pumping that idea... under the pretense that it gets them back Chavis and brings in Tee Martin(securing a couple elite players, namely Jalen Ramsey, from USC). They want Fulmer for his connections and likely ability to put together an absolutely kick *** staff...
This is just beyond ridiculous. They are in total meltdown after Arkansas and Auburn hired quality coaches and they keep getting turned down. Watch the Vols panic again just like when Lane left in the middle of the night and make another terrible hire.
But, why hasnt anyone ever given any consideration to Marty Schottenheimer? He is getting a little old now (69) but i don't understand why his name has never come up in consideration for any of these college jobs in the past 6 years. The guy is a winner. Yes he has the stigma of "He can't win the big game", but I have never bought into that stereotype. Chargers fans can't be happier with Norv than they were with Schottenheimer.
My interpretation. We struck out on finding a coach so we're turning to loyal UT guy who bleeds orange to come back and get us through tough probation years we're about to go through. Then when he retires, we'll be in better position to make our real hire.
...Is the nutcase, TennStud, stll around? He usually had the inside skinny on everything. (If he didn't, he would just make something up). Wonder what his crazy *** is saying currently.
