    Re: Parrish: UT focusing on Mike White for HC vacancy

    This is getting REALLY damn old. Crowton didn't stay long enough to get us into a bowl game; Dooley didn't stay long enough to get us back to back winning seasons; Dykes didn't stay long enough to win a bowl game; and White hasn't even been around long enough to get us into the Tournament!

    How do our coaches keep getting so much attention when we haven't actually PRODUCED anything other than a good season?!

    Meanwhile Hudspeth is entering his FIFTH damn year with a record of 27 - 12 with three straight bowl wins and he doesn't even getting a rumor of going anywhere.

    I hope he would rather build a dynasty than go for quick cash.

    Until we get into a power conference, this is our lot in life. We will be hard-pressed to keep a successful coach, in any sport, more than 3-5 years. It does not matter what we pay them or how good our facilities are. Coaches like Mark Few or Shaka Smart are extremely rare.

    Cheer up, White is still our coach as of Sunday afternoon. No reason to fret until he is gone.

    That's a great post. And right on the mark. I've said the same thing about ULL's Hudspeth for the last 3 years.

    I'm not trying to minimize Mike White's success.... I think he's great. But if I had Tennessee's money, conference membership and facilities, I would try to recruit a BIG TIME coach from another big school, one with at least a few NCAA appearances on his record. White doesn't have that.

    Dykes didn't have a bowl appearance or a conference championship in his last year with us, but he got the "big job" anyway. Now White is being courted heavily, and he still doesn't have a NCAA Tourney appearance. Seems to me that some of the P5 schools are acting very desperate.

    Here is an ESPN article on the same subject with a key quote:

    Yea, but our average has been three years with only one of those years being good . . . not even great. That sucks.

    Maybe that's how Benson can recruit new schools: "Come to the Sunbelt...where a halfway decent coach is yours for life!"

    Wouldn't it be great if one coach would do this. I'd like to see just one say "I just signed a new contract and I'm going to at least stay for one more year.There will be plenty of openings next year if I have another good year."

    Lets see
    - the job would definitely require a significant rebuild
    - the fan base drove the previous coach out
    - they think they won't have to pay top dollar for an up and comer
    - you have a very good team here with a great recruiting class
    - if you go there you will be stuck for a while and the job your really want might pass you by
    - you leave those who gave you a chance and those you have coached and built a bond with to an uncertain fate
    - many others are RUNNING AWAY from this job

    Looks to me like most of the points are against taking the offer!

    Tennessee would be to White what Dooley was to Tennessee....a major mistake.
