November 4, 200817 yr My guess. 1. Mike Leach (Texas Tech) 2. David Cutcliffe (Duke) 3. Brian Kelly (Cincinnati) 4. Butch Davis (North Carolina)
November 4, 200817 yr Cutcliffe will be #1 on the short list. He will have to decide whether he wants to leave Duke, where he has really done an excellent job.
November 4, 200817 yr My guess. 1. Mike Leach (Texas Tech) 2. David Cutcliffe (Duke) 3. Brian Kelly (Cincinnati) 4. Butch Davis (North Carolina) Uggh! It would be another great loss to the UC program, but you coudn't blame him for going.
November 4, 200817 yr Uggh! It would be another great loss to the UC program, but you coudn't blame him for going. I'd be curious to see Mike Leach in Tennessee.
November 4, 200817 yr John Gruden is the top priority from what I've been told... Now that would be really interesting. I'd love to see that...just to see what kind of college coach he'd be. Do they have a real shot at this?
November 4, 200817 yr Now that would be really interesting. I'd love to see that...just to see what kind of college coach he'd be. Do they have a real shot at this? I got some info from someone close to UT yesterday, and they said talks have been going on between the two parties for weeks...
November 4, 200817 yr Some Names At Tennessee: Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low Some names, in no particular order, that I think may be on Tennessee's list include former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin, Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe, Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, Minnesota coach Tim Brewster, TCU coach Gary Patterson and Illinois offensive coordinator Mike Locksley.
November 4, 200817 yr Tony Barnhart's column Given where the Tennessee football program is in relation to its biggest SEC rivals (Alabama, Florida, Georgia), an entirely logical case can be made for asking Phillip Fulmer to step aside after 16 years as head coach. But those Tennessee fans who chose to be in a celebratory mood yesterday, when Fulmer fought back the tears at his press conference in Knoxville, are about to get hit with a sober reality: Tennessee, for all of its great tradition and vast resources, is probably not going to get the rock star head coach that so many people want. I understand the emotion. Tennessee fans who felt the program was slipping, and it was, looked around the league and saw Nick Saban (Alabama), Urban Meyer (Florida), and Mark Richt (Georgia), three coaching stars who will have their programs in the Top 10 for more seasons than not in the future. Then they looked at their guy who is today what he has always been: A former offensive lineman who believed that that answer to just about every problem was to work a little harder tomorrow than you did today.
November 4, 200817 yr The top three names that were requested by the two boosters who agreed to pay Fulmer's buyout are: 1. Steve Spurrier 2. David Cutcliffe 3. Bill Cowher :thumb:
November 4, 200817 yr I could not see Mike Leach leaving Texas Tech. On a completely unrelated note, I thought I heard somewhere that Tommy T. was out at Auburn after this year....Anyone confirm that?
November 5, 200817 yr The top three names that were requested by the two boosters who agreed to pay Fulmer's buyout are: 1. Steve Spurrier 2. David Cutcliffe 3. Bill Cowher :thumb: Spurrier and Cutcliffe are not interested, leaving Cowher as the boosters top choice. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3682303
