If there is one thing that has become a fascinating spectacle is the dumpster fire known as the Tennessee coaching search.

You fire Butch Jones lol, and have Brady Hoke as the interim HC lololol but at least he wore a headset!

You than go and sign a memorandum of understanding with Greg Schiano, normally this would be the end, he would be introduced, complete his current duties and move on to his own program.

Buttttttttttttt nooooooooooo, the fans decide to throw a hissy fit, and the deal falls through. Now a coach who you thought was going to be your coach is not your coach and you may have to pay your non-coach coach money because you cave to a whining fan base. (Think of this like when Notre Dame was paying Charlie Weis to not coach or every browns coach over the last 10 years)

Next up you call Mike Gundy, he tells you in the nicest possible terms go away. John Gruden who hasnt coached in almost a decade wants nothing to do with college coaching. You than call Auburn DC Kevin Steele to guage interest (I can imagine how that conversation went you can fill in the blanks).

Than its on to Purdue coach Jeff Braum, after a nice chat they claim they are ready to name him coach but he says nah we dont have a deal. And now in the latest turn of events which at this point could be written into a soap opera, since Jeff Braum didnt give them an immediate answer they have turned to NC St head coach Dave Doeren.

So lets make a game out of it, who do you think will be Tennessee new head coach?

My thinking its at this point either going to be a retread of Brady Hoke or Bert Bielema. Tennessee faithful believe it should be Tee Martin, and a couple crazies think Peyton Manning should be called

****OP Update****

Dave Doeren has officially turned down the job. Queue the circus music because this went from train wreck to dumpster fire, now it is just one big clown show
