Not sure anything can be substantiated about that. I''m guessing Les Miles has no interest in coaching right now because he seems like a slam dunk hire to me. SEC roots, National Champion, etc. I'm surprised that LSU let him go when they did as I would kill for his overall record at LSU. 114 wins 34 losses... holy crap!

Tennessee might be the most toxic job in the country. Having grown up in TN, I can tell you it's without a doubt the most delusional fan base you will ever meet. They have so many things working against them and a fanbase that expects SEC championships every year, why would any coach want to go there? Apparently so many coaches have turned them down they fired the AD. Wow

I like Leach, so I don't want him to go to TN... he's a total weirdo but he's interesting...

Beats me! I was wondering the same damned thing when I saw that. Tennessee is a major dumpster fire now. A few winless seasons will get the fan base to come back to earth.

Leach is building something special at Wazzu, he should stay it fits him, He'd not survive Knoxville is right, I think their fans are over optimistic anyway, they don't matter in the SEC and haven't for quite some time. Ever get a chance to visit the Pallouse and Pullman, WA do so I went a few years back when we played them love the location etc.... Leach stay in the Pallouse $ isn't everything

ESPN was tweeting this could be the most expensive coaching search in history. Butch Jones buyout, The fired AD's buyout, and the Greg Schiano settlement. What a complete mess.

Sounds like Fulmer took out his Johnny Majors knife to undermine the whole process so he can become AD? This should be a made for TV movie.

What a poop show, at this point there is no way they get anyone their fans willl deem worthy, unless Fulmer can lure Les Miles.

Just had an hilarious thought...as soon as Fulmer becomes the AD, he hires himself as HC as revenge for getting fired as HC in 2008 right about the time we beat them on their Homecoming, 13-7.

This has been glorious to watch first hand. Living in TN, I can tell you without a doubt UT fans make borg fans look like they live in reality.
