Tennessee's inability to hire a competent coach is not proof that they'll never be good again.

Why are they unable to hire a competent coach?

Alabama's last 8 Head Coaches (back to 1957) who coached at least 1 game each produced a team that finished in the AP Top 10.

Georgia's last 5 Head Coaches (back to 1964) each produced a team that finished in the AP Top 10.

Auburn's last 5 Head Coaches (back to 1981) each produced a team that finished in the AP Top 10.


Truly great programs win often despite their Head Coach. In other words, insert a coach and he's still likely to produce some good teams. Mike Shula did. Gene Chizik did. Even Ray Goff did.

Tennessee's problem is obviously not the coach. It's the program.
