Fulmer is leaving

lady d, we reeaaalllly want muschamp ok.;-) or i do, but i don't see it happening. i don't think they will go the coordinator route, unfortunately. but again, i don't know anything about all of this so it's better if i keep my mouth closed.:roll::wave:

Since he is the Texas coach that would be ok. 😀 But I don't think he would be interested in the Tennessee job. He probably has it made at Texas, obviously. Any clue as to who Tennessee has been in contact with at all???

Lane Kiffin comes to Kville for the golf?

:roll:

News Sentinel blogger Michael Silence points to a blog post by WDEF-TV's Jim Boofer that Lane Kiffin was seen in Knoxville playing golf with a prominent UT booster.
Kiffin, of course, is among the several names popping up on lists of likely to replace Phillip Fulmer as football coach at Tennessee.
Coincidence? A Where's Waldo sighting? Kiffin couldn't find a tee time any closer? Who knows, but expect to hear a lot more similar tales involving [insert-name-here].

(who would really want this job anyway?)

You guys constantly call him Fat Phil but have you looked at the Kansas coach and the Maryland coach??? They are twice the size of him! They both could probably eat Phillip Fulmer and I am sure they could eat him under the table where consumption of food is concerned. :lol:

Lady D, sure, Mangino and the Fridge are both huge, but they aren't our Fat Phil. I mean, we've had the last 17 years to really get to know and love him. If you know his address, I'd like to send him a baked ham....

Muschamp is a Dawg. Still want him?;-)

Yep. We'll take him! I have nothing against the Dawgs.

Lady D, there is no "a" or "w" in "dogs".

Let the big dog spell.

Davis is leading candidate to replace Fulmer.

:idontno:
Tennessee has tabbed North Carolina coach Butch Davis as the leading candidate to replace ousted football coach Phillip Fulmer, multiple sources have told the News Sentinel.
Whether UT can secure Davis remains to be seen. Davis has said publicly that he is happy at North Carolina because of the family environment in Chapel Hill and the opportunity to rebuild a program that has long struggled.
If UT can't get Davis, Mike Leach of Texas Tech and Brian Kelly of Cincinnati will become strong possibilities. Tim Brewster from Minnesota will also be considered.
As for Davis, UT will offer better facilities and more exposure than North Carolina. UT will also offer the chance to coach in the SEC.
That could be perceived as a pro or con. While the SEC is a much higher-profile conference than the Atlantic Coast Conference, it also is widely believed to be a more difficult conference to win and subsequently compete for national championships.
Davis, 56, turned down advances from Arkansas last season. He played defensive end for the Razorbacks before a knee injury curtailed his playing career. Davis became a volunteer coach and graduated in 1974.
Davis has turned around the Tar Heels in just his second season. North Carolina is 7-2 after finishing 4-8 in 2007.
Before Davis' arrival, North Carolina was 44-63 in the previous nine seasons under coaches Carl Torbush (17-18 from 1998-2000) and John Bunting (27-45 from 2001-06).
Davis went 51-20 at Miami from 1995-2000 and helped assemble a supremely talented team that won the national championship in 2001 under Larry Coker, who replaced Davis when he left for the NFL to coach the Cleveland Browns.
Davis struggled in Cleveland, going 24-35 and only making the playoffs once in four seasons.
Davis' greatest success came under Jimmy Johnson at Miami and with the Dallas Cowboys. Davis first coached with Johnson at Oklahoma State in 1979.
Davis followed Johnson to Miami as a defensive line coach where the Hurricanes won a national championship with a perfect 12-0 record in 1987. That coaching staff then went to Dallas and won consecutive Super Bowls with the Cowboys in 1992 and 1993.
Following Johnson's departure, Davis was elevated to defensive coordinator under coach Barry Switzer. That team reached the NFC Championship game, losing to the eventual NFL champion San Francisco 49ers.
Davis then returned to college football to rebuild Miami.
Different aspects of the coaching transition were a topic of conversation during UT's semi-annual board meeting on Saturday morning.
UT athletic director Mike Hamilton said the search process is "very, very active" for UT's next coach and that feedback from potential candidates has been positive.
Hamilton said the buyouts for UT's assistant coaches will be $3.6 million if no one accepts other jobs before their contracts are complete. Coordinators' contracts run through June 2011. Assistants are covered through June 2010.
That figure will almost assuredly not be reached considering most coaches on UT's staff will secure employment elsewhere.
UT is responsible for the difference between a coaches' future pay rate and his UT contract. That payout is mitigated by any job, football related or not.
Hamilton said that much of UT's support staff will be retained and possibly reassigned.
As for the effect of UT's coaching change on donations, Hamilton said he is unsure how the change will affect giving.
While there is certainly reason to believe that optimism in UT's new coach could spur donations, it's also possible some who have supported Fulmer will pull donations.
Faculty member Deborah Welsh said UT's academic support system is aware of the challenges during this emotional time for UT's players.
"They're helping to keep them motivated and moving in the right direction," she said of UT's academic support staff.



my hopes and dreams of muschamp are shattered.😀
beachsio, have you heard anything recently?

I think if you will look around on some of the posts, you will find many spell it that way on here, where reference to the Ga. Bulldogs are concerned. 😀

Here is a from another Sowaller, Wet Willy on here referencing the spelling I mentioned. Of course I know how dog is spelled but when it comes to Georgia, I have seen that on here several times. And the poster Fl. Dawg is a Bulldog fan and uses the spelling of Dawg. It can have an a and w if we want it to. :lol:

Hey did you see Georgia Bulldawgs are #2 in the BCS poll. Wow. That's pressure. I know I did not type this stuff that is in bold this morning. :scratch:

Hello Lady D,

Don't let that Gator Fann get under your skin. As you can see I spell Dog
(Dawg) sometime too. It's one of those things they would not understand.

I guess they just have to have something to complain about.

I'm glad they live in Georgia!:bang::wave::angry: On the bright side of things Hershel was a little brighter than Bo!:idontno:
