Steckel (who was great) left for SMS before Odom, Odom backfilled him. The choice was essentially Odom v. Kuligowski for DC, but Odom had Mizzou as a Top 10 defense in 2015 so it's tough to say that was a bad choice(Kul is still only a DL coach too). Odom clearly looks out of his element as a head coach, but that's a separate set of decisions.

Don't recall Steckel's "debacle" and oops looks like I've got the timeline all jacked up. Well, I'm still bummed I don't have decent team to root for

Sorry go birds. I can't think of a more cruel way to lose a game. When I headed for the stadium from the bar (OU game), Tennessee seemed to have all the momentum and I thought they would find a way to get it done.

On the bright side, I think one of the two "non-coastal" schools that Chip Kelly would actually consider is Tennessee (the other being Notre Dame). If you can find a way to beat UGA in a couple of weeks, maybe things will turn around. Your team has some athletes/players.....just needs some confidence/momentum against the better teams on the schedule.

I want Tennessee to lose every game from here on out so the AD gets their head out of their ass and realize that he's not the answer. That he is a mediocre used car salesman. He's stocked the cupboards for the next coach so it's time to move on.

You're an Oklahoma guy right? What were they saying about Bob Stoops' retirement? I'm not sure if it was ever confirmed as to why he suddenly quit.

Assuming he's available, he's at the top of my list.

I'd be ok with Chip Kelly. He'd prolly turn Guarantano into the next Mariota.

Stoops quit for health reasons.

Tennessee (like Nebraska) hasn't quite learned that this is more or less who they are as a program now. The game and rules have changed and while their large attendance/fanbase gives them a reasonably high floor, they probably can't expect perennial 10 win seasons unless they hire an uncommonly good coach. Sure you can be a person/fanbase who demands that, but then you risk exposing yourself to the Dooleys, Rileys, Kiffins, and Callahans you're inevitably going to hire along the way.

Leaving aside whether ND would hire Chip (normally I would say his NCAA malfeasance would DQ him, but they don't seem to care that Brian Kelly got the 2012-13 seasons vacated), I can say pretty definitively Chip Kelly wouldn't go anywhere near Notre Dame. Supposedly he didn't like the booster hobnobbing and other such off-field stuff involved in coaching college, and there's more of that there than anywhere else.
