Clay Travis names six coaches who would be better for Tennessee than Greg Schiano
The Tennessee Volunteers are making an absolute mess of their coaching situation on Sunday, as Vol Nation backlash has reportedly killed a deal between the Vols and Ohio State DC Greg Schiano.
Now, it appears, the coaching search is back on. Outkick the Coverage’s Clay Travis, who was against the Schiano hire from the start, has named his candidates for the job.
Travis said Bobby Petrino, Kevin Sumlin, Mike Leach, Lane Kiffin, Willie Taggart and Mike Norvell would all be better fits for the Vols than Schiano:
There are six coaches Tennessee could all hire tomorrow who are much better fits than Greg Schiano. In no particular order: Petrino, Sumlin, Leach, Kiffin, Taggart, & Norvell.

Whether any of those coaches actually lands the job remains to be seen, but it is safe to say any of them would be more popular than Schiano at this point.
This is a crazy situation in Knoxville that continues to develop, and there are sure to be many more twists and turns before the school actually hires a replacement for Butch Jones.
Brohm, Petersen, venebles, freeze, frost, McElwain, Jones, Dooley, keep going?
Yeah, keep going. I was already laughing pretty hard. Some of your names are ridiculous and the ones that aren’t will not come to Tennessee.
For the record, I love the state and I am there all of the time, but you people are nutty. Keep the jokes coming. Digging up Lombardi next on your list? Bwahaha. Thanks for the laughs.
Well, do-funny it was intended to be funny because ANYONE would be be better. I guess I left off Saban, Malzahn, Mason, Odom, stoops, Luke, and muschamp. Do you feel better?
I think he is incorrect that either Kiffin or Petrino would be accepted,
We would accept him long before this guy, I’d take minor ncaa infractions and immaturity long before I’d take this guys history.
Wow – it was a very decisive “NO!” from the fanbase that turned this one. At this point, why not Sumlin if he brings back “Chief” too.
so vol fans have no problem with what Petrino did (and admitted it) but Schiano hasn’t been convicted of anything and they roast him? makes sense
I have a problem with him as a coach…yeah he ran over a crappy Big East with Ray Rice…before Ray Rice they sucked. After he went to tampa and sucked. Why does anyone think he would make a good head coach in the SEC
Remember there used to be 6 power conferences the Big East was so bad it got demoted
He worked for Urban Meyer for several years. Sumlin? The guy couldn’t win with Top 5 recuriting classes, something you don’t see often at UT. Leach? a total flake who’d win 8 games a year, make a run to 10 wins once a decade. Don’t think he’d last that long. Petrino or Kiffin? Are you that pathetic and desparate? Oh, that’s right, you are. Taggert will wait for something better, and there are plenty of better jobs, like say FSU after Jimbo leaves. Looks like Norvell would rather stay in Memphis. Have fun with your dumpster fire of a program!
Women and motorcycles? Compared to possible perjury over child molestation? I’ll take the guy who wants to go fast and likes pu$$y.
Wtf are you talking about? Possible perjury? You’re a perfect example of why you aren’t getting any of these.
If you think GS and other coaches at PSU didn’t know about the horrible acts happening to those little boys then you’re an idiot.
Some things are bigger than football.
Dear Gawd man, get a grip and stop using vulgar language. There are women on this site who don’t deserve this type of thing. Jesus take the wheel.
That’s a good point…what is Travis getting at, a better coach or better person. Petrino is a shady character and not very personable, Kiffen is still incredibly immature and I’m not sure if anyone remembers but I think Leach was fired at Texas Tech for mistreatment of players.
Didnt he lock a kid in a closet lol
Yes, and it would have been swept under the rug but it was Craig James’ kid. Leach is a jackass and only jackass fans would want him. He’s never won a thing.
Let’s see, one had an affair with an adult and the other turned a blind eye to little boys being raped… that’s like comparing Jay walking to murder fool.
Volchicken88, you and the others like you are the fools you speak of. None of the other coaches were following Sandusky around and none of them were involved. Most of the bad things happened at Sandusky’s house. Get the facts right before posting garbage, asshat.
Stupidity run through your entire family or stop with you.
That was to colts coach, s habitual vol basher.
Colts Coach, Schiano is only guilty of being a bad coach. He never had anything to do with Sandusky. These idiots clearly know nothing about anything that happened.
Petrino or Leach then hire a stout D coordinator. Bring in someone that can score 100 pts a game.
On behalf of all southerners I just want to thank the fine folks at Tennessee for redirecting all inbred cousin loving jokes directly to them for at least the next decade instead of them being evenly dispersed amongst the rest of us. Congratulations you’re a national embarrassment all bc that rebellious right wing leader Clay Travis told you to be outraged. He’s like the sports version of are sean Hannity.
6420 I’m confident that you’ve been made fun of all your miserable life. I’m proud of Vol fans for opposing Schiano and anyone else connected to Penn State during that time frame.
I like how you’re more upset over a Clay Travis tweet than you are at the fact that UT nearly signed a guy who knew that Sandusky was diddling kids and did nothing about it.
Most of the diddling, whatever that is, happened in Sandusky’s cellar and none of the other coaches knew anything.
You people and your myths. Unbelievable.
So you were there? Enlighten us mr. Joshua, you seem to know so much about the issue. Should paterno get his wins back? This is an sec site, I’m assuming you’re a West Coast fan, put your surf board in your panel van and go eat a veggie burger.
Why don’t you go enter in to the gay rodeo. What’s your talent? Bobbing for hotdogs, riding the upside down barstool? Get your liberal butthurt crap out of here.
Really? I don’t agree with everything dawgs96 said, but you just went straight right wing-nut with a redneck for good measure. Seriously, I taught 8th graders for years and this is the stupid crap they say to each other. Liberal, conservative? Really.
I don’t give a rats a$$ who you taught, if it bothers you I don’t care. I bet you don’t mind the tranny bathrooms at target.
And before you comment, know who I replied to, it was to coach6420. But apparently intelligence is optional.
You are also an idiot. Your post is so stupid I don’t even need to explain why.
That was to coach6430 don’t know why it’s not responding to the right person
@CoachSnowFlake: you are a Tool Bag and probably belong to NAMBLA
Well said, coach6420. I always liked Tennessee until Butch Jones and now this. What a group of inbreds.
Clay Travis is a moron.
Look at his list:
Petrino – average team with easily the best player in America. He couldn’t coach junior high football to success.
Kevin Sumlin – yeah, OK. He just got fired for being average. You want average?
Mike Leach – never won a conference championship in his long coaching history. Is that what Vols want?
Lane Kiffin – Seriously? He dumped you once and would do it again. He’s a fruitcake. Nice choice if you want to be laughed at because of this clown and his tweets.
Willie Taggart – actually a good choice. But, if Fisher goes to Aggie, then Taggart probably jumps on that job or he stays at Oregon.
Mike Norvell – Yes, maybe decent, but he inherited a good program and has done alright. Very risky.
Clay Travis is clearly a bozo and so are all of his followers.
We should probably just hire you, you’re apparently the worlds foremost leader in being a jacka$$. Call Clay Travis a moron but it seems you two are on the same level. If you take your finger out of your butthole it’s easier to type on your phone with 2 hands.
Oh yeah, and Bill Belichek recommended him, highly. But Sarah Hickabee Sanders doesn’t, so of course you clowns trash him. Really, 20 more years of complete irrelevance is what you’ll now be getting, and it’s what you deserve.
Trash him? He trashed himself, being part of that in any way Is enough for any school to say NO. Maybe he can be the face of your program, by the way which SEC team are you a fan of? My guess is none, you’re just trolling, move along nothing to see here.
