Hey, it worked for Nebraska! Well, kind of. It wasn't an abject disaster, certainly.

DJExile posted:Yeah if Tennessee wants Fulmer as "AD", where he's just out glad-handing boosters and getting money while associate ADs run all the administrative work (as USC seems to be doing with Lynn Swann) then hey, more power to them. It's a little early to say the Swann thing has worked out. The Helton hire might wind up being fine but it was still the result of the same narrow minded philosophy towards coaching hires that messed the program up in the first place. It just seems like Tennessee should be in a position where they should be capable of getting someone with actual administrative experience. Just throwing the job at someone famous associated with the program seems like incredibly lazy fanboard stuff. It's also funny that he's now the beloved figurehead from the glory years when the end of his tenure was kinda ugly and he for all intents and purposes was fired.

I think the Fulmer thing is less fan service and more making boosters happy. From what I've read there's several large ones that are pushing hard for it to happen. Most fans I've talked to or read about have wanted Blackburn.

Will bringing Fulmer back put him in a position to inevitably narc on Alabama again? Because that is an important factor in how rad or not this is

Phil Fulmer and Mack Brown are probably both gonna be AD's in the future. Weird stuff.

Brown would legit be a great AD. They often are the CEO, setting strategic direction and hitting up boosters for money. They have AADs for the actual ops.

Skip Bertman was a great AD at LSU despite his only qualification being that he was a really good baseball coach.

Is Barry Alvarez considered to be a good AD? He has certainly driven at least two coaches away.

Komet posted:Is Barry Alvarez considered to be a good AD? He has certainly driven at least two coaches away. Barry Alvarez is considered to be Barry Alvarez. I'm sure he raises a ton of money for them, and the football team is almost always bowl-eligible and their basketball team has been pretty good lately. Hard to say if that's because or in spite of him, but the school would be pretty hard-pressed to fire him.

In UConn news, Randy Edsall has hired Billy Crocker, the DC at Villanova, for the same position at UConn. Crocker runs a 3-3-5. Between this and the Rhett Lashlee hire, this Edsall tenure is gonna be... different. Not sure what to make of it yet, but it will require a full 4 years I think.

DJ Eliot leaving Kentucky for Colorado. Mark Stoops stepped into more of a direct role with the defense after the New Mexico St game, so not a complete surprise, nor a big loss for most UK fans, considering how much better the defense was after that. No word on the next move for UK yet.

The Coke contract comes with a coke commerical on the big screen every halftime that is inexplicably 100% louder and clearer sounding than anything else played over the speakers on gameday. It was super jarring and made me jump every single time.

So it's final, Larry Scott as OC, Mike Canales as QB Coach and Charleton Warren (new DB coach) will also be ST coach.

And just as I post that, they hire Chip Lindsey, which seems fine on its own, but that power struggle remains an ominous sign.
