I wouldn’t inflict Barnett or Green on Vol Nation, but you guys can have RichRod any time you want him.

What about Johnelle? I think he’d be a great fit for the program. You can cut the coach’s clothing budget in half, and he’s really entertaining at press conferences.

Well gosh, if I didn’t know any better I might think you’re taking pleasure in our misery.

Why is no one pimping Spurrier for this gig? Looks good in orange, can beat UGA and rather than the proximity Masters Pass he could roll up on the Dollywood guest membership. Why, that has to be worth…..a twenty spot,

How about “team head coaching”? Houston Nutt as passing game coordinator, Mike Leach as power runnning game coordinator, and the Great Pumpkin as “d” coordinator because he looks good in orange.

This might surprise some people, but Coach Riley of Oregon State played for Coach Bryant in the early 70s.

After seeing the devil baby picture, I’m just glad this wasn’t a post regarding the inept nature of the Arizona State offense. Thanks, I guess.

Buttons has a few things to work out…he would get rid of the Vol Navy because of his fear of water.
Practice and games would have to be at night, its hard to coach when you are sleeping during the day.(This also works for Bobby Bowden and JoePa, just have to be done by supper)
The chain gang would be a distraction because of the urge to pounce on anything dragging across the ground. He would personally train the defense since all the DB’s would be required to catch him by hand after they squirt him with a water gun–that alone would make them faster–if you have a cat, try that, you’ll see what I mean…..

Buyout Clause? No…
Buyout Claws? Yes! 300 kilos of Premo Catnip..STAT!
Also, Where are we on the Coach Bryant coaching tree? Has that tree fallen over? Was Croom the last one?

Can you not get Peyton to retire and take over since he isnt the same since the surgery? His Fantasy production has fallen off a cliff since he and his receivers are falling apart…..he would be a whole ‘nutha level as far as coaching up the QB’s is concerned…..

Terry Bowden! No, Tommy Bowden! No, Terry! Wait, Tommy! He’s my brother. He’s my coach. He’s my brother. He’s my coach.

Forget it Jake, it’s Knoxville.

You might be able to talk Hal Mumme back in the SEC. Better yet, Mike Price!

Isn’t there a Colquitt available? One has to be old enough to coach by now, right?

Ryno: Alton Brown would never get that job. He’s a Georgia man.

Aren’t there any NFL retreads out there who aren’t currently employed? What about Herm Edwards? That would be pretty cool. Get that out there and let’s start the Rainbow Coalition pressure for Herm Edwards. Does he even have a job right now?

Okay Orson, not taking me serious are you? Jon Grudon – 5 years 15 million. Pete was too expensive.

Clemson is talking to him also.

The good news: Ty Willingham and Coach O are available (or soon to be!)…………or could it be that Skip Holtz’s sudden decision last week to “take one for the team” and the UT administration’s sudden indication it might consider a mid-season firing the Tennessee version of the Ole Miss gambit?

Only time will tell.
