    I don't want to get in a pissing match about i coach who could leave tomorrow and I wouldn't care, but watching UF and FSU fans literally ruin the portal thread calling dibs on every transfer then doing the same here with coaches was funny to me.

    Carry on.

    I think because he doesn't want them.

    He will win 10 or so a year at Cincinnati until a job opens up in a conference where doesn't have to face more than 1 or 2 teams a year with great talent.

    we’ve taken 8 so i think at least the FSU coaches are calling dibs as much as the fans.

    Napier--he's going to want complete control like Saban. I don't think he has done enough to necessarily deserve that. And I highly doubt UT would give it to him.

    Freeze--I will believe he's blocked by the SEC until proven otherwise. He would be a home run, but i doubt UT can pull it off.

    Chadwell-UT definitely thinks they are too good for him. But he would also be a home run

    Kevin Steele will be coaching this team in the fall.

    www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30735416/sources-tennessee-football-coach-jeremy-pruitt-internal-investigation
    "Pruitt's exit comes on the heels of Tennessee launching an in-house investigation dating back to November into alleged recruiting improprieties that sources told ESPN centered in part on extra benefits provided to football recruits on unofficial visits. Pruitt, with his attorneys present, met with investigators for several hours Thursday. That meeting was monitored by NCAA officials via Zoom. At least one other assistant, inside linebackers coach Brian Niedermeyer, had a lengthy meeting with investigators Wednesday, also with his attorneys present and NCAA officials monitoring virtually.

    Sources told ESPN the investigation uncovered multiple alleged Level I violations.
    Sources told ESPN that Tennessee's recruitment of Amarius Mims, the No. 3 offensive tackle and No. 19 player overall in the 2021 ESPN 300 rankings, is part of the inquiry. Mims signed with Georgia."

    The SEC can’t block a team from hiring Freeze. They might bitch about it. But they don’t have the authority to block him.

    So basically Pruitt is going to need to try his luck as a defensive assistant in the NFL because he won't be able to recruit for a college program off campus for the next 3-5 years?

    “Last week, Tennessee hired former Auburndefensive coordinator Kevin Steele as a defensive assistant. A former head coach at Baylor, Steele is expected to serve as interim coach until a successor is hired, and sources told ESPN he would also be considered for the permanent job. Steele played at Tennessee and started his coaching career in Knoxville, both under the late Johnny Majors. Steele was a finalist for the Tennessee head job when Pruitt was hired.”

    DJ Durkin and Kendal Briles are on SEC coaching staffs. So even if the SEC had the ability to interfere in a member institution's personnel decisions, and they don't, seems weird that they'd allow those monsters to hold jobs in their sacred conference while blackballing Freeze
