… ah, hell, who am I kidding here? Those are hilarious.
We’re about to find out what kind of price tag a good defensive coordinator puts on taking a job with a sinking ship.
Get The Picture 
I sincerely hope that the offer to Chavis either came in person or over videoconference so that he could show his middle fingers to the Vols after the way he and the rest of that staff were shown the door by mental midget Mike Hamilton, who promptly ran Chavis’ alma mater into the ground.

I was thinking along the same lines… Similar statements could have been made around the time of the Grantham hire. But — thankfully — the reality is so different. Tennessee is so far off track and unstable it’s almost tragic.
The job in Orange just keeps looking worse. And worse…

I actually heard they were in talks with Kevin Steele over at :We Just Got 70 Hung On Us!” Clempson.

Not sure if you were kidding, but if not, ironically they tried to pay Steele $750,000 last year but he stayed at Clemson for $575,000.

There’s a reason Southern fans call him the “Gypsy Coach of the South” instead of Petrino. They’re wrong, but still.

There’s a lot of people disclaiming Clemson today. I’m telling you, orange is a disease. Clemson, Auburn, Tennessee, and Florida all make Georgia’s situation seem serene.

Van Gorder may be available if the Falcons don’t beat the Giants this weekend.

Even if he is, though, he’s made it pretty clear through a number of his career decisions that his ultimate goals lie in the NFL. Even if he did somehow get canned after this season (which I don’t think will happen), he’d take a position job at another NFL team before he got on board with the mess that’s currently happening in Knoxville.
