So let me get this straight UT fans, you would rather hire a guy that went 9-36 at Baylor, versus the guy who built Rutgers into a name again?
I don't follow...
Don't get me wrong I don't want to lose Steele, I think he is an amazing DCoach, but if I was given 2 choices for my next HC I would take Schiano over Steele.
Kevin Steele misses Broyles Award events; in mix at Tennessee
Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele is a finalist for the Broyles Award, which will be presented to the nation's top assistant coach Tuesday in Little Rock, Ark. But he's not there and won't be there.
Steele missed a function Monday night and was due to arrive this morning, but he sent word to event organizers that he would not be able to attend because of a job interview.
That interview appears to be with Tennessee. Tennessee athletics director Phillip Fulmer is in New York City, where many of the nation's top coaches and administrators have gathered for the annual National Football Foundation's annual awards dinner, Dawgs247 reported Monday is also interviewing Georgia defensive coordinator Mel Tucker. There could be others.
Steele has been prominently metioned in speculation about the Tennessee search for a replacement for Butch Jones that has been controversial almost from the start.
Former athletics director John Currie reached an agreement with Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano, only to withdraw it after a flood of protests on social media. Currie eventually was let go and replaced by Fulmer, who as head coach, led Tennessee to the 1998 national championship.
A former Tennessee player, Steele has resurrected Auburn's defense the past two seasons and is immensely popular with players and with Auburn fans.
Central Florida offensive coordinator Troy Walters, also a Broyles finalist, arrived Tuesday morning after missing Wednesday night's fucntion. He interviewed for the UCF head coachig job that Scott Frost will vacate to take over at Nebraska. Walters, who is not expected to get the job, arrived in Little Rock for the awards luncheon.
USC offensive coordinator Tee Martin, the quarterback on Tennessee's national championship team, has also been mentioned as candidate, along with Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt.

I'd explore the PSU allegations before disqualifying Schiano, but it'd be an uphill battle to convince me.
Knowing what we now know, it was an open secret that Jerry was fucking children. If you were there, you're suspect for complicity.

Agreed. When I made the comment about promoting Steele if Malzahn leaves, I had completely forgotten about his time at Baylor. But then, it is Baylor. As a UT fan, I would view that as a very Chizok-esque hire. Booooooo......we want a leader, not a loooooser.

I recall a lot of very open discussion on the board when the Sandusky thing broke. Some were emphatic that they would have either turned him in and/or beat the living hell out of him. Others admitted they were not sure what they would have done. If the assumption that it was an open secret is true; hence, a lot of people knew about it, then apparently there were a ton of mixed emotions from those closest to the situation. Because despite everyone knowing, there was little or nothing done. If true, a lot of people knew he was fucking little boys and most of those same people stayed mum about it, from the top down. I'd like to think I know what I'd do, but I can't be sure unless and until I was faced with it. Hope I'm never faced with that decision.

That's BS brother, those folks wanted Schiano gone because they didn't like the hire. The Penn State narrative came out after they backtracked on the hire, and there was no smoking gun.
But that's not germane to what I was saying anyway. I'm not saying I would want Schiano, but given that they were about to hire Schiano vs whom they are currently interviewing (Steele) I would take Schiano.

Wrong. The Penn State accusations from UT fans and some former players came out almost immediately after learning that they were about to hire Schiano.

Regardless, they didn't like the hire and wanted him gone. There is no proof Schiano knew anything.

Exactly, they wanted Gruden bad. I mean bad like camping out at the airport to hopefully watch him step out of the UT plane & lining up at a diner because someone tweeted out that he was eating there. If Schiano never coached at PSU, the fans would've found some other reason to not want him.

At least I confine it to the girls. I'm not a sicko y'know.

That's why I'd explore the issue, but it's looking like EVERYONE up there knew.
On another note, if Steele leaves who do we get?
Travaris Robinson would deserve a look. Might be too green, though.

Understandable. Things have changed a bit with the early signing period in recruiting, which I believe starts December 20th. These teams want the coach nailed down and out on the recruiting trail.

Fartbaum stated Fulmer wanted Pruitt for a second interview.

Why not?

Nevermind, Freeze's show cause penalty is only for a Head Coaching position for 1 year. So, yeah, it's possible.

He only has a two game in conference suspension.
So he’s good to go.
-
Last word I heard is that UT is wanting USC O.C.Tee Martin which is smart. He's a terrific recruiter and they need that energy.
I never thought Steele or Venables would leave their current positions without Butch Jones money.
The money's there, they're desperate.This is unstable. Pay me to make it stable.You want to bring others in here, maybe I have different ideas.
Then again I could be wrong. One or both could end up somewhere else before the dust settles.
As for Pruitt, I could see Fulmer working the least experienced of the three and making promises that would sell him on the job.

:facepalm:
No coordinator from auburn ga lsu or bama is gonna take a step down to go to tenneseee for the same position. Same with Arkansas shooting for venables. Why the hell would he leave the goldmine that is clemson for ark?
Only way any of this happens is if the money is super BIGLY.

I don't know may UT fans, but I am surprised by the level of celebration today. How they've gone from "Gruden is a lock, this is one of the premier coaching destinations -- nay THE premier destination -- in college football, any decent coach would crawl over glass and aids needles to get to Knoxville" .......... to..... "Chip Kelley, Mike Gundy or Gary Patterson, who should we pick?" ............ to ..........."Greg SchiaNOOOOOOOOOOOO!" .............. to ..........."Les Miles with Tee Martin would be perfect" ......to........"Jimmy, uh, Johnny, uh, Jenny whatever PREWITT!! Fuck YES!! Phil Fulmer is the greatest of all time, he went and got our first choice!! SEC is FUCKED. Ya'll SCARED!! Tennessee is finally back!!! Fuck yeah. What a fantastic hire."

It will be hilarious high comedy if they literally rioted on moral principle over Schiano because he was on the same staff as Sandusky and no evidence of misconduct beyond that, and then hire Hugh Freeze as OC.

On TWill...I agree the man needs a serious bump. This is the best group of linebackers in 10+ years. He's recruited and developed as solid a group as there is in the league. Give the man his money. Unless there's nothing left after reworking Gus' contract.
