I might be Mike Leach but i doubt it with his baggage and the recent problems Tennessee has had. My bet would be David Cutliff from Duke or possibly even Petrino might be contcted along with Peterson from Boise State.

Could they make a play for Mack Brown?

Muschamp and John Gruden would make sense. They talked with both last time and now Gruden is out of work (with a wife who was a UT cheerleader).

Tennessee needs to make a quick splash if the AD wants to keep his job.

I heard that the UT boosters were burning up Urban Meyer's phone last night.

But I doubt that Meyer will take the job. It would have to be one hell of a package for UT to put together to get Meyer.

David Cutcliffe

I just can't see Cutcliffe. He left UT once before, supposedly because of health concerns. Then went to Ole Miss and then Duke. I just cannot see him as being the hire UT would want.

Reports out of Knoxville are that they are making another run at Will Muschamp at Texas, but word is that he is not interested.

bayer,

The only reason I think they may go after him is because I wouldn't be surprised if they want someone who has been close to the program after getting burned by this whole Kiffin situation.

I think they may become a little gun shy about hiring another "outsider" of the program.

Pure speculation on my part.

I understand and good reasoning, but my guess is mostly they are going to want someone who they believe can get them back to the level they once had. I'm not sure he can do that.

Gruden turned them down..

Looks like Muschamp of Texas is the next target.
