Some schmuck from La Tech to Tennessee (Kiffin/USC)

FWIW, a Knoxville station I have been listening to has Tuberville on their short list of possible hirings, saying that he hasn't signed a contract with Tech yet. I wouldn't put it pass Tuberville to do that either. After two years at Ole Miss he said he would be carried out in a pine box before he would leave, then left for Auburn two days later.

Gene Wojciechowski didn't pull any punches with Kiffin, or the AD either:

You hire a snake, don't be surprised when they slither.

Norm Chow will remain at UCLA.

UT has hired Troy Calhoun from Air Force.

He's actually a pretty good coach. Will be interesting to see what the recruiting does since they were all about flash and big names until Kiffen left and Calhoun's about the polar opposite.

Will he bring the triple option to the SEC?

I'd have to say UT fans aren't going to be thrilled with that hire (though I think he's a solid coach, who has always done more with lesser talent).

He was an OC and QB coach with the Texans for a while, so presumably he will adapt his offense as needed.

I guess he might run it if he feels like that's the talent they have, but I don't think it's the only thing he does.

I'm sure a lot of UT fans will be upset because he's not a big splash.

Per Knoxville radio Calhoun just released a statement that he will stay at AF, and it's looking like Cutcliffe is the next choice.

Here's some interesting reading about the search for the last UT coach, with a lot of cloak and dagger stuff by the AD.

wow. Turned down by the HC at Air Force.

Terrible time of year to be looking for a head coach.
