2020-21 CFB Coaching Carousel

Might be. But Tennessee going 2-10 doesn't let 400,000 people - and counting - die from a pandemic. And somehow I suspect that any infractions Tennessee commits will be tame compared to the Tangerine Tantrum's still-growing list.

One is in Knoxville. The other needs to learn what a hard Knox life really is.

 

Wonder what Clay Trumpist thinks of this. A year ago, he was all in on Pruitt. Before that, he was opposed to Schiano. His real opposition to Schiano was not some alleged, vicarious involvement with Penn State scandals but because Schiano wasn't an SEC guy.

Gonna be interesting to see how the Saban tree things plays out in the future. Georgia's in good shape and Ole Miss can't be counted out. South Carolina was a bust and Tennessee was a bust.

 

“Letting,” you say?

From the moment I read that part of the announcement I interpreted it as, “This is your chance to leave without losing your pension.”

 

It's gonna be HC Kevin Steele, OC Jim Chaney, Tee as Assistant HC/QB coach and some random dude as DC.

 

Agreed on Steele. Why else would he accept a gig on the staff when everybody knew the administration was trying to whack the head coach ASAP?
Will Tennessee fans join their Auburn brethren and adopt a #StopTheSteele hashtag?

 

I haven’t lived that good a life.

 

I think they would gladly forfeit a future appearance or two in the Birmingham or Independence bowls, UT's most likely destinations in 2021 and 2022, to save $12.6 million.

 

By itself, that's true. But it's got to be hard to motivate a team that knows it can't go anywhere in postseason. Potential impact on recruiting from any bowl ban and from scholarship reductions.

 

A bowl ban means you don’t get a chop of the pot from what all the other conference schools bring in that year, which does still add up. And Pruitt is going to lawyer up faster than you can say Wigsphere.

 

I think you still share in all conference-generated bowl revenue.

 

Not in the SEC you don’t. You don’t have to actually make a bowl to share in the proceeds, but you do have to be eligible. They would still get their cut of TV money.
