I think all 3 of those names have a shot of keeping Vonn Bell in TN... And Charlie Strong could pull quick with him to UT.  Don't really care tho... UT is about 3-4 years away from making any noise on the national level.

Jimbo Fisher would be insane to take the UT job.  He's in a much better position, both short- and long-term, at Florida State.

UT's allowed this situation to devolve to such an extent that I'm not sure how strong the pool of candidates WITH head coaching experience will be.  (Unless Hart will consider experience at a different level.)

My money is on Charlie Strong, I think John Gruden would return to the NFL before he'd go to college.

We're we in a recruiting battle with UT?

Charlie Strong is the only candiate of that list that makes sense.  FSU > UT from a coach perspective and John Gruden has been named with every coaching search since he left the game.  I'll beleive that when he signs.

Strong already has ties to recruiting in FL and in KY and presumable Tenn.  Seems like a good fit.
