Sorry, Tennessee fans: Kevin Steele is your most likely option for 2021 (and maybe beyond)
Close your eyes, Tennessee fans.
No, I’m not asking you to go into a coma for the rest of 2021. As rough as this year has been and figures to be on Rocky Top, football is still better than no football. I think.
But seriously, close your eyes, Tennessee fans.
It’s SEC Media Days. The backdrop with Tennessee logos is set, and the dual Vols helmets sitting atop the podium are ready to roll. Keep those eyes closed.
Tell me this. Who’s the coach stepping up to the podium rocking a Volunteer orange tie? We know it’s obviously not Jeremy Pruitt. Is it Billy Napier? Probably not. Is it Jamey Chadwell? Nope. Is it Hugh Freeze?
Hold on. It’s becoming clearer. Ah, that’s not Freeze.
So who is it? Lane?! Is that you?!?!?!?
Um, nope. It’s Kevin Steele.
That’s 2021 for Tennessee, wherein even the fantasies are an anticlimactic reality. Yes, the guy who currently holds the interim head coaching title is the most likely person to be at SEC Media Days in 2021. And when you think about it, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Steele running the show for the Vols beyond this strange season in Knoxville.
Don’t consider that a ringing endorsement of Steele, who is a fantastic defensive mind but is totally unproven as a head coach. That’s also not a prediction that Steele is going to follow in the footsteps of Ed Orgeron, who shed the interim tag and then proceeded to lead LSU to historic heights in 2019.
Steele’s situation is more similar to a different former Ole Miss coach. That is, Matt Luke.
Remember when Hugh Freeze’s bizarre exit at Ole Miss went down? While the escort service debacle stole the headlines, more relevant for replacing Freeze was the fact that the program was about to get hammered by an NCAA investigation. A whopping 15 Level I violations didn’t exactly scream “hey, come be the next coach in Oxford!” It instead screamed, “hey, let’s keep it in house and just try to stop the bleeding.”
That’s going to be the goal with Steele. At least that’s what it seems like.
According to Phillip Fulmer, his successor as athletic director will make the decision on the next head coach. There’s no timetable for that. Just because Tennessee hires a new athletic director doesn’t mean it’s about to embark on a thorough search to find the next head coach.
Besides, that’s not exactly the best sell to a head coaching candidate. Tennessee is actively trying to wiggle its way out of an 8-figure buyout to a coach who got fired after 3 seasons and is currently in the midst of what’s shaping up to be quite the legal battle. You’re also talking about the unknown penalty the Vols will face once the NCAA steps in and conducts its own investigation. If Level I violations were found from an internal investigation, who knows what the NCAA will uncover.
While it remains to be seen what that punishment will look like, I’d tend to think that if the NCAA got any sort of whiff that the Vols were hoping to beat the system to get out of paying Pruitt’s buyout, there would be more than a slap on the wrist. The last thing the NCAA wants with what little power it has left in college football is for programs to blatantly make a mockery of the system in an effort to avoid an 8-figure payday for a failing head coach.
There’s also the well-documented potential hurdle of bringing Freeze on board in the midst of this ugly national story when he’s the same guy who got a 1-year show cause and netted Ole Miss a multi-year bowl ban for his Level I recruiting violations. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey might’ve been OK with Freeze returning to the SEC under normal circumstances in 2020, but these aren’t normal circumstances. Freeze reportedly was blocked from coordinator positions in the SEC while Ole Miss served its bowl ban. It wouldn’t be a shock if Sankey applied that logic to Tennessee in the midst of its recruiting scandal.
Might Sankey tell Tennessee to maybe wait a year on hiring Freeze? Sure. If Freeze really does covet the Tennessee job as has been speculated, that opportunity should still be there in the next coaching cycle. It’s late January. He’s not going anywhere.
If that’s the case, why would it make sense to go out and bring in someone else? What now makes sense was the move to hire Steele. At a time when personnel decisions were on hold with the pending investigation, Steele was hired … and then he accepted his second SEC interim gig within a matter of a couple of weeks. You can’t tell me that move was made without knowing what was about to see the light of day with Pruitt.
Now of course, there’s always the chance that Tennessee goes totally rogue and hires someone with mostly NFL ties like Bill O’Brien or Peyton Manning’s guy, Adam Gase.
Close your eyes again, Tennessee fans. Is this the face you think will see at SEC Media Days?

If that’s the face you see when you close your eyes, say goodbye to a restful night of sleep.
Would Tennessee fans sleep easy if Steele were at the controls for a year or so? Maybe, maybe not. Steele at least showed he can crank out top-25 defenses in the SEC. It would’ve been weird for Auburn to pay a $21 million buyout so that it could promote the assistant, but that doesn’t mean Tennessee fans should be sticking their noses up at Steele. Not now.
We know that Steele is on board. Even if they somehow announced Tennessee’s NCAA penalties tomorrow — they won’t — we still don’t know that one of those candidates would sign up to deal with the uphill climb of building a roster and coaching with those limitations.
What’s more likely is this thing will drag on. The NCAA is known for a lot of things. Being prompt isn’t one of them.
When Ole Miss received its notice of allegations in June 2017, it took nearly 5 months to get its punishment. If Tennessee doesn’t learn of its fate for another 5 months, that would put us a few weeks from SEC Media Days. That’s not exactly when you conduct a national coaching search, either.
What feels all but inevitable right now is that Tennessee takes a few haymakers to the jugular in 2021. That means more significant losses to the roster. That means losing recruiting battles. That means sticking with an interim coach in hopes that he has a clue what he’s doing to prevent an even bigger collapse.
Luke probably didn’t get enough credit for holding Ole Miss together during those lean post-Freeze years. Steele can do the same for Tennessee.
Even if that isn’t something Vols fans want to see when they close their eyes.
Gus Malzahn.
That might not be a crazy statement there. Steele’s record as a HC is pretty bad…no its real bad. Malzahn? You dont often see a coach with a winning record like his get fired. But a word of caution to Vol fans and Malzahn…..do NOT bring Morris with you. Want to guarantee a firing? Hire Chad Morris to any position on your staff other than equipment manager. But sure, I dont think that is a crazy suggestion.
But why would Malzahn want to do that, other than his massive ego? If I was a just-canned coach with his buyout, you’d never see my white a$$ on the sidelines again.
lol
I read Steele and Gus don’t get along, but there was no reason given as to why. So do they?
Rumor is Steele and boosters were undercutting Gus
There have a been a ton of coaches with winning records that have been canned. Les Miles, Butch Jones, Ray Perkins, Bill Curry, Tuberville, Mark Richt, etc… Once it’s obvious you aren’t moving forward, it’s time to make a change.
Perkins and Curry weren’t fired, but they left before they were because of the booster infighting that plagued Alabama between Bear’s retirement/death and Saban’s hire.
Gus was fired because of his attitude about his offense and his refusal to evolve it. He would not even change it to fit the abilities of his players. Great guy and ran a clean program, but the stagnation and a 33% winning percentage against your rivals, does you no favors.
it could certainly be worse, tn fans. you once had brady hoke as your interim hc.
You are correct. It could be worse, any of our past three head coaches could still be there. That doesn’t mean Steele is a good choice. I see him as the VFL version of Pruitt. Whomever the new AD is should not hire Steele as the HC until each of the other 6 or 7 better options tell us “No”. And yes, they probably will. It would be more embarrassing to just accept things as they are and continue down the current path than it would be to, at least, trying to make things better, no matter how unlikely those chances are.
Speculation, conjecture, conspiracies are running rampant and will continue until a HC is hired or Steele is named interim for 2021. That scenario is quite possible and may be in our best interest. Only time will tell. Until then let all the SDS posters have at it. We will hear everything from the death penalty to grumors and beyond. Bottom line is Connor knows no more than corch about what will happen.
Hey, according to Matt “Nostradamus” Hayes, Tennessee is done, we’ll never be elite again, lol.
In CFB, everything moves in cycles. Tennessee won’t be down forever.
Except that’s no longer true, and hasn’t been true since the mid-90’s.
There are no more “cycles” in CFB and waxing and waning of programs, not since the “Great Migration” began in the 1980’s and all the kids that should’ve been born in former recruit hot-bed states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey all started being born in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, and North Carolina because all their yankee parents moved South to find a better quality of life.
Now with the second great migration underway from California, it will only succeed in burnishing those states who continue to get the majority of new population growth.
Tennessee will, for the next 20-30 years, continue to exist behind the programs that have the built-in advantage of great recruiting talent. Nashville may be growing, but youth football leagues in Tennessee are not. Soccer leagues are.
Tennessee has gone the way of Nebraska and in 20 years we’ll talk about them the way we talk about Harvard and Yale now.
That actually wouldn’t be a bad option, if Steele would agree to a year. There’s no telling who might be available later.
get on the Lane Train again!
Don’t see that happening. He’s got Ole Miss trending up. Besides, he’s already had a “toxic” experience with Vol Nation.
It was mutual
If UT was just firing Pruitt for poor performance, Freeze would be a viable candidate. I don’t think he is now, with the whole Cause thing going. I would make Steele the interim and see how the season goes.
I agree. I do not think the SEC office would prevent it. I do think, IF all the reports are true, that you are going to have a tough job selling the NCAA on the fact that you are cleaning up the mess and trying to run a clean program, when you hire a guy to replace a coach that was actively cheating, by hiring a guy that had 21 major violations, and a show cause at his last job. If they had just fired Pruitt and these problems had never come to light it would be a different visual. If they hire Freeze before the committee on infractions makes a decision, UT may come off of probation in 2040.
The next guy will only be going there for the money because nobody would want to go there.
True, and the Chickens have experience with payouts, (How much was that to Muschamp? $15 million?)
Uh, GA bought out Richt for over 4 mil. WTF is wrong with GA? You act like GA is Bama. GA has first tier recruiting with second tier results. Does less with more than any other team in the country and acts smug like it wins Nattys every year when it hasn’t won one in FORTY YEARS.
LOL, Vol1. At least we are a relevant top 10 if not top 5 program. Even our “dark” years under Goff with those 6-5 records and the rebuild under Donnan were much better than the last 12 years in Knoxville. It’s painful to go through. However, I think UT is a great job…but these next few years will be tough. In the meantime, UGA will be playing for SEC East, SEC, NY6 and hopefully, National titles. Vols will be relevant again, but it will be a few years.
Just another delusional Tenn. “fan”. Sad thing is you still see Tenn as relevant. Haven’t been relevant since ’98. Recruits don’t see you as relevant, unless you hand out bags of money.
vol 1 UGA has the same number of national championships in the last 52 years, as UT.
What does USCe have to do with this situation?
Now that’s funny…coming from SC fans. The program where coaches die.
This could be the caretaker path that Arkansas took with John L. Smith and Hog fans most certainly remember that disaster. Not just a bad coach but a silly buffoon just for good measure. At least Steele is ahead of that situation and a good OC hire might work. On the Freeze thing, the article is right in that the worst thing about his Ole Miss experience are the Level I violations and blaming it on the previous staff for which he was sued. Ole Miss was complicit on making the claim that Houston Nutt was the culprit for which he received an apology from the school.
Think Steele will do the “Smile” news conference Like John L Smith did? That was scary.
There’s no question this is precisely why they hired Steele in the first place so they need to go get an AD first and hope that Steele is the right man for now. Ole Miss forced Freeze out and had Matt Luke stabilize the situation for them to make a big hire, perhaps Tennessee needs to hire Matt Luke to stabilize the situation so they can actually hire Freeze. The circle of life, yikes. But everything TN has done recently has felt extremely orchestrated in an effort to ‘get out of jail’ free with regard to Pruitt.
As far as the NCAA Connor they still have power, especially when it comes to investigations and handing down sanctions. They’re just so dam hypocritical about who they do and don’t punish and what they do and don’t punish they’ve really made a mockery out of the whole process.
booches I might agree with you if we werent talking about 10 total people fired and what is being discussed is upwards of 30 level 1 and level 2 violations. I said it before and will say it again. Not many coaches, if any, arent fired for cause over that. IMO he should have been fired and I hope he doesnt get one red cent. he may not have had a clue but that just makes it more egregious to me. No matter how you spin it his people/program were/was out of control, ASSUMING reports are close to accurate. he should be sending us a check for all the problems this is creating.
if it comes out the level and number of violations has been grossly overstated then I might agree with oyu. That sure doesnt seem likely based on what we know right now.
heres a question for everyone; How many would want to sweep it all under the table, hide it, overlook it, or pay a $12.5M buyout5 to the HC plus a few mil more to the actual bagmen to save your current HC or treat him better assuming they were all charged with exactly what Pruitt is. Two assistants and all of your QC and recruiting admin (9 people total, 9!) were aware of/or participating in handing out cash to multiple recruits creating up to 30 level 1 and level 2 violations. Would bama fans just want to give saban a pass? would they want to buy out his contract because he won so much… Maybe I dont know but interested to see what honest opinions there are about it. I abhor cheating. I abhor cheating and dont even cheat at golf:)
i dont abhor cheating twice though
Here my speculation. Someone on the inside wanted Pruitt out. I don’t think these allegations are made up like in the Kansas situation, but I do think this thing got started to find something in an effort to disconnect with Pruitt. They hired lawyers first, investigated second, and were pretty public about it all. I don’t know too many schools who have done it in that order unless they have an underlying agenda. However, I also feel what they found was waaaay more than they ever imagined, way more serious than they ever imagined and it’s kind of a catch 22. Yeah they found enough to fire Pruitt for cause, but there’s probably little chance they’re in a position to replace him with who they may have wanted and now may face penalties much greater than they ever thought. And that prompted the Steele hire in the middle of a supposed “hiring hold” while the investigation was going on. The whole situation feels like a mixture of calculated and yet unexpectedly snow balled at the same time. But yeah, there’s no question, regardless of the initial intent of the investigation, Pruitt deserves to be fired.
maybe but its just guessing. If someone comes to the AD or higher ups and says there is rampant payoffs going on. Maybe they did an initial investigation, found it was more than they could deal with on their own and brought in attorneys… experienced in this sort of thing to help guide them. maybe there was no conspiracy at all. That is just as much a guess and just as valid as yours. We just dont know. We may never know. I am not going to think the absolute worst without having something more substantial to go on. Of course I am a homer too.
Agreed. Well I think Tenn is doing what ultimately they were going to have to do eventually anyway moving on from Pruitt and Fulmer whether they end up having to pay a settlement or not. It’s just too bad that these are the circumstances and they may have to live with basically an interim or a transition coach for quite a while and starting clean will more than likely be later rather than sooner depending on what the NCAA finds/dishes out.
From my very unreliable sources- friends of friends of children of large boosters- it was basically just as Booches said. Fulmer attempted to dig up some dirt to move on without paying his buyout and ended up with more than he expected. With the amount of time Fulmer spent on the football team the school was shocked he wasn’t aware of any of this. The man was at more football practices than he wasn’t meanwhile other sport dept’s had to go over his head to get responses to emails. How did the AD have this going on literally under his nose and be completely oblivious to it? That is one of the reasons he is being led to retirement.
Just rumors but still.
Here’s hoping that Jeremy Truitt(that eloquent public speaker) does not get one Dollar from UT. He should not ever have been hired. I have to put him and Muschamp in the same sentence…horrible-head coaches both too stubborn to listen to anyone and both failed miserably.
I wouldn’t hate the idea of Matt Luke as the OC to Steele. He was a co oc under Freeze and Cutcliffe. Add in some head coach experience and the fact that getting a proven OC to come to UT might be hard, I think makes it a decent move especially considering his UT ties.
Noooo, I like him as our OL coach.
Ah come on, we will give you Chaney back. haha
He is also definitely a better OL coach than what we had so that’s another angle to think about. Hey come on though you guys can probably get anyone you want to replace him. Give us this one lol.
That’s a big no on Chaney. We’ll bide out team and see how Monken works out in Y2. Hopefully, ya’ll can get rid of Chaney too.
On the bright side, they could do worse -much worse- than Steele.
Hire Steele one year, then bring in Freeze. Or bring in Freeze now as OC.
Wonder what we would be talking about if Tennessee wasn’t imploding.
LOL maybe your next NC :)
Actually, I was thinking about Alabama and their most recent Natty and Nick Saban as the G.O.A.T.
But leave it to you to send the thread into a negative spin.
well dont get your panties in a wad pup. That little moniker at the end of my post means just kidding. Good grief talk about thin skinned.
Fuzzyvol01 …LOL! Good response …and funny!
If TN wasn’t imploding the talk would probably be what are the Vols chances to win the SEC next year? And forget about these recruiting rumors Dan Patrick is talking about, people are just trying to bring Pruitt down because Tennessee is back baby! Idk, just a guess.
How dirty Bama’s program is, how much they are sweeping under rug?
You never hear a fan, or fan base, say everyone is doing it until THEY get caught doing it. Keep dreaming, it is not going to change the UT situation. Try to stay focused, this is not about Bama.
So SDS has officially given up on actual journalism?!
Every piece now is just some effortless, knee jerk pile of $hit composed for kicks and giggles.
“Let’s do two things here at SDS folks…get the home fans screaming and have the rivals piling on!”
Working for now but people will eventually demand some, you know..actual decent writing and reporting.
The closest SDS gets to real journalism is recycling the work found on other sites. It’s a shame that posting a bunch of social media reactions and writing source-free, speculative fluff counts as acceptable content these days.
Who reads the articles? The comments are where the content is
Agreed. Don’t know of any other free sites that you can comment on besides here.
We used to be able to go on al.com until about a year ago. Then their prudish reporters got more thin skinned and got out of that. Now, they are begging for subscribers and selling you to access to above described reporters.
The comments are what make this site. Not too much new news here
What do you mean sorry? Kevin Steele is a great option. If you cant get Freeze keep Steele!
Steele isn’t the long term answer and wont be. No UT fan with a brain is going to want a guy that preferred never to be a head coach and when he did went 9-36!!! Kevin knows what he is and knows what he isn’t. That record is also when Kevin was in his prime physical coaching days.
Steele, aside from being a good defensive coordinator…has not had success as a head coach, so long-term for the Vols=No way. Probably the best thing Tennessee can do is ride with him as head coach in 2021 & let’s see what the NCAA has to say, then actively look for a young/energetic/offense-minded head coach. Jamey Chadwell of Coastal Carolina anyone ?
this farse of a explanation from the woman and fulmer about the facts is something that most are not focusing on
did the so called money in bags come from the official budget of the university–if so she and fulmer should be answering that question
if it came from boosters why did someone in the AD office not know this
is this a violation of law in tennessee if so where are the authories or is this just a cover up from top
more conspiracy theories. yeah the money came from the chancellor and fulmer. Makes perfect sense. Why wait for facts to come out when you can put out your own “want to be true” guesses. Do you really expect to have all the answers at this point. Are you that naive.
Its the smart move. The next couple years won’t matter. Tennessee will go thru the motions but the NCAA sanctions are going to cripple the already poor program. Let Steele do what he can and regroup when the sanctions are gone.
One aspect of this issue that I haven’t seen addressed is the PLAYERS INVOLVED! If it’s proven that players were PAID I’m fairly certain that they would be deemed ineligible and any participation would result in forfeiture of games or simply acting like they never happened per the record books. Also, I guess those players would be unable to play for another school. This could ruin the lives of a lot of people and for MOST of them, rightfully so!
I don’t understand all the hoopla…every time I go to McDonalds I order the UT Happy Meal that comes with a Quarter Pounder with cheese, fries, and $7,500 in unmarked, non-sequential bills.
What’s the big deal?
LOL not Monopoly money LOL
Nah fam.
If UT hires the football equivalent of R Barnes (i.e., competes respectably but won’t win Nattys) there could be hope, but they won’t. UT will hire a young coach and pray he becomes Nick Saban. That’s foolish, but the mind-set is that UT should be competitive for the Natty, even though the last several decades have proven that’s not the case. Lots of middle-aged, competent coaches would go to UT and establish an over-.500 foundation, but that takes time. The UT admin has no time. They have to win big right now. Thus the cycle continues.
ignorant post cris
SHOW ME the evidence
It has to be Steele. No good HC will want to go to a program that is literally burning down as he’s walking through the door.
Auburn can pay Steel a good rate to wade through the next few years. If he can turn the program around, great. If not, then after the smoke clears – Bowl bans and Probation is finished, they can hire another coach.
That appears to be the plan. Time will tell.
I gotta stop reading on the idiocy of this article filled with moronic assumptions. For one, since when does TN ever wait in hiring a coach??? You must be dumb to believe TN would wait a considerable time for a head coach. Also, did anyone really ask Steele if he wanted to be the permanent head coach, or even the interim? He has not perused being a head coach for most of his coaching years. So moronic argument already layed to rest. Secondly, all we have are allegations of loaded happy meals with cash. No one person has thus far has conclusive proof of this ever happening. Just the allegation. Also, if anything is finally determined by the NCAA after their investigation, it could be 3 years from now before any punishment is levied. Next, the fanbase is not going to sit on their hands only to find out Steele is the guy. The University admin actually wants a fan base moving forward. They aren’t going to sit around only for Steele to be the long tern. NOT Happening. This is the kind of idiot articles you get when you allow a loudmouth from Big country to write articles about SEC schools they know next to nothing about.
Connor is correct-if wordy.
No coach is going to be hired with as much uncertainty as UT has right now. (Who’s the AD? Who has my back? What are the NCAA sanctions I’ll have to work under?)
I’ve already resigned myself to the idea that 2021 will be a lost season and Steele will be our head coach.
I’m fine with that so long as UT is smart about being first in line for the 2021 coaching carousel. There’s plenty of time and no excuse to get this next hire wrong.
With respect to the investigation and firing for cause, I believe this is mostly on Pruitt.
My guess is that UT was willing to negotiate a lower buyout and move on.
However, Pruitt’s character and his history tell me that it’s very likely he wasn’t willing to work with UT in any productive manner on this or to accept one penny less than the maximum. I think it’s very likely that he gambled that he could hold the program hostage, demand his ransom-I mean buyout, and the University would have no choice but to buckle, pay him, and hope he’d keep his mouth shut.
I believe that UT was faced with a situation where cratering the program was a certainty. With that in mind, why should they pay Pruitt a dime?
Pruitt the petulant. The Jarret Guarantano of coaches.
CrankE…Good points. We are all shaking our heads as to the reason he was actually hired in the first place ? *Yes I understand it was a quick-hire of the 6th or 7th choice, but there had to be someone, somewhere out there who was a better hire. Pruitt’s temperament was a real negative as far as being a head coach in the SEC.
UT was in a terrible spot when Pruitt was hired.
Mel Tucker was one of the other candidates and in hindsight, that guy would have been a home run compared to what we got. He went to Colorado and did okay, then got hired at Michigan State.
Excellent points. The fact is the program just needs to be carefully guided in the right direction and the ext coach needs to be an experienced guy that knows how to do it right. Saban is a detail guy. He has a grasp of all the details and a way to handle all that. It is a very hard thing to do and you have to trust you coaches but also verify they are not screwing the pooch qith regard to rules. Bama gets secondary stuff occasionally as a player or coach screw up. They are human. But overall they don’t right as do most schools. U of T will be back. It just takes time and the right guy at the right time. Bama went through this coaching carousel and it sucked. But, even the worst coaches all had at least 1 10 win season. Amongst the horrible ones and all the turmoil scandal and rule breaking.
Lots of typos but you get the drift!
Kevin Steele, Tom Herman, Lance Leipold, or Bill Clark are the four names I’d think are most likely.
Clark and Herman are not going to step into this mess, at this time. After probation, or after they see what the penalties are, but not right now.
HOME RUN hire. The only salvation.
I don’t read O’hara but do read comments. Sad to have such proud program in shambles. I almost feel sorry for fans except experience had a Sanford stadium few years back when we lost ( actually many years ago) and had expletives yelled at me with 2 young daughters who asked me “ why are they saying such bad things? It’s just a game”. I told them they were just being Tenn fans.
He is sure not going to be successful with the depleted roster, not that he would be anyway.
Tennessee won’t win a conference game for at least 2 years. Possibly 3. No one should want this job, because it is a career killer.
Bowl bans are no big deal if you don’t qualify which Tennessee won’t do again next season. What coach is going to head to Knoxville right??? Freeze leaving a top-25 Liberty….Napier leaving a top 25-Louisiana….Chadwell leaving a top-25 Coastal Carolina? Vols fans have lost their minds. Nobody wants to coach at Tennessee that is a legitimate head coach. The state is a bad recruiting base. Oh and the NCAA penalties coming. Tennessee is now way worse than Liberty, Coastal Carolina, and Louisiana. Unreal…those programs are miles ahead right now. Malzahn ain’t showing up…he knows! 0-37 against top-10 teams over the last 10 years or so….WTF! Good Ole Rocky Flop! The basketball school….GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you in Knoxville!
UT needs to join the Big 10 or ACC
If UT was a horse they would shoot it
