For you nervous nellies, Jones is not on this one.

Just remember when you borrow trouble, you can't pay it back.

I can payback trouble

You are trouble.

Go to the only bar in Roatan, Honduras, ask for Lucie and she won't know me by name but will know who I am if you say El Trouble'

Im surprised they're not taking a serious look at Leach.

I think Leach is worth a look as well. Leach would be loyal and I think he would help take out some long standing frustations around the lack offense there. I had read somewhere that Fullmer was being considered for re-hire? I find that hard to believe, but he is stability after someone who just burned them.

I would think they need to look hard at Skip Holtz, Chris Petersen, or maybe Mike Stoops?

I see rumors around Patterson and Muschamp but I don't see either one being interested.

I doubt the source is credible, but maybe they will look at Leach after all...

Breaking News: UT offers Mike Leach; Troy Calhoun second in-line
By Dan Harralson and Nick Taylor

The Sports Times Network has learned today, through a close source, that The University of Tennessee will ask Mike Leach to become the next head coach of the Vols. If for what ever reason Leach were not to accept the offer, second in-line is Air Force's head coach Troy Calhoun. Coach Calhoun is a great friend of The Sports Times Network and is a class-act. We hope the best for him if he accepts an offer by Tennessee (which we were told he will if Leach does not) or stays with The Air Force Academy (if Leach were to accept UT's offer.)

God Bless,

All jokes aside Leachs O and a good SEC D would turn the SEC on its ear for a year or two, finding a qb who could step in and run it from the gitgo would be the hard part. (He might not lock any slackers in the closet at UT ).

Disagree - Leach never won a conference championship in the Big 12 - and the defenses are tougher in the SEC - they would chew him up with that spread in the SEC by blitzing the qb (roll tape from Sugan bowl vs Hawaii). In the SEC you have to play ball control/keep away to win (if you doubt me just look at the last few SEC champions - they either have a run first offense and/or a QB that leave the pocket in order to keep the chains moving).

I always thought the Run and Shoot/Air Raid/Triple Option offenses were a great equalizer for less talented teams and that as you increase the talent level of the athlete running those offenses you get an even greater return. Georgia's talented O and D beating a much less talented team from Hawaii is not the end of the argument. Georgia Tech is a good example of what the non-standard offense brings to the next level. I am still of the opinion that you will soon see more triple option offenses and the spread will continue to gain favor in locations where it is not common now like the SEC. The 4/5 wide sets are common in the NFL and the "Wildcat" is just a basic option attack that kids in Pee Wee football run. More colleges will have no choice but to adopt to these offenses as more and more recruits will come in with ready to use skill sets in these areas.
