[Note by Joel, 01/14/10 9:06 PM EST ] Game's over, but we're going to wait until 9:30. See y'all then.
Surprise podcast!
Join Will and . . . well, Will tonight immediately following the Tennessee basketball game to talk about that, Lane Kiffin, Ed Orgeron, and whoever might be the next coach of the Volunteer football team. I'll be pushing buttons, but to keep the bacteria from accumulating on my computer screen and microphone, I am going to attempt to refrain from speaking, and I am instituting a strict no humor rule for the evening. Hey, have you ever accidentally laughed with pneumonia? It's not fun. ;-)
Anyway, we're trying to line up a guest so Will will have someone to talk to, but if we don't, tonight would be a really swell time for y'all to call in. We had 35,000 guests to the site yesterday, so it's not like you don't have something to say, right?
Here's the call in info:
- Phone Number: (724) 444-7444
- Call ID: 61505
You don't have to have a Talkshoe account, but it helps us identify who you are when you call or participate in the live chat. Either way, call in, because although I know Will can talk for 30 minutes straight, who of us wants that? (Kidding! Love ya, Will!) But seriously, call in.

Lovie Smith?????
please be true
Living in Alabama is like living 50 years in the past, they are still just as racist, just as educated, the state constitution forbids any kind of public transportation, and all they can talk about is Bear Bryant
Basilio says that Jimmy Haslam is flying to Chicago tonight to woo Lovie Smith
but that it’s unlikely we will be able to afford him. He’s getting paid $5.5 million, all we can do is $4M and a 7 year guaranteed deal. But the Bears may be willing to pay for a buyout. holy moly
Sorry about that, man. Joel probably just missed your name at the bottom of the list.
Thanks for joining in, though. I’d love to hear (i.e. see) your comment, though.
My comment was this
We dont need to go merck on this hire. We need to keep the continuity of the program. WE need to hire Cutcliffe, then go on a search for a coach in waiting similar to what Texas has done with Muschamp. Muschamp was tested by Tenn and he passed (loyalty to Texas). This is why he is in waiting, to test his loyalty. If we do that, then we have a dynasty in the making and we have a man we can trust. Recapp, Cutcliffe gets program back to respectable, then hires protege, then mentors, then hands off without ripping everyones guts out.
Do you have anyone specific in mind
for coach in waiting? Certainly becoming a more popular idea these days…
UNKNOWN
I think a few years(1-2) down the road we identify a few candidates, we court them, and then make them assistant coaching offers. Maybe more than one with the understanding that there could be a promotion. If they all out along the way, so be it. Loyalty is earned, both ways. The next Muschamp might pop up next year.
We need long term planning to sustain a program for the LONG TERM
Not this fire and hire crap that is going on. Texas is not doing this. Florida got lucky and Saban is a MERCK.
Trooper Taylor
Tennessee Coach in Waiting.
Has a nice ring to it. :)

Sorry 'bout that, VOL_2002
I did see you on the call, but the software doesn’t have any way for me to talk to you off air unless you log into the chat, so I wasn’t able to do anything about that. I’ll try to do a better job of explaining that next time ’round.
