I think you meant Josh Hancock. And this sucks. I might have been one of the few who thought that Gaines Adams was going to fulfilled his promise in Chicago. I am truly shocked and sadden by the death of this young man.

I can see that, which is why after the season do not re-sign VDN and sign Byron Scott. I think Scott can get Rose to the next level as a pg.

Bynum seems to be very much like Eddy Curry, except without the fat. And considering Toronto's GM wants a more up-tempo game, I don't see where Bynum would fit.

Less then 10% chance Toronto trades Bosh to LA. Besides LA does not need this trade to be a contender.

Do you think Fulmer would accept a one year job working for Mike Hamilton? He's more likely to become Saban's OL coach. If he knew he would be getting the AD job after the 2010 season, I think he might.

Recruits want stability and bringing in a one-year guy (even if it's Fulmer returning) is not a good idea. The idea has been floated to give the job to Kippy for a year and then run an actual coaching search next year. I just don't see any what that works and we be able to recruit. Too many coaches would use the instability of it all to turn recruits against us. So you willing to settle, instead of waiting out the storm. That's ok with me, I'm just wondering what's so important in 2010 that it makes it worth settling for a solid, but not a spectular coach?

This may be crazy, but why does Tennessee have to hire a coach? If Cutcliffe turns down UTenn, then why not bring back Fulmer for the year, concieve that 2010 is a rebuilding year, and go after a larger selection of coaching candidates after then 2010 season?

Why sign Ben Sheets when you can sign a dinosaur like Jose Contreras. Apparently the Contreras is down to the Cubs and the Cards as to which team he'll sign with. :roll: Oh goody, we do I sign?

. Even tho I respect Adam Schefter and he seems to have a clue on what is going on, something tells me that he might have jumped the gun on Fewell. Apparently Fewell hasn't decided just yet.

Not exciting, but I'd be fine with that. Considering that Desmond Howard consider USC hiring of Lane Kiffin as "hitting out of the ballpark", landing Cut would be considered a grand slam hire.

"Paris Hilton has paid more due then Lane Kiffin, so far." Pat Forde. I'm not usually a fan of Pat Forde but this line on PTI was quite funny.

considering that HE contacted Ole Miss, that his father is in constant contact with the Ole Miss people, and that he is likely scheduling a visit, I'd say there is more than a "dreamland" chance. He'll probably end up at USC though. To be fair OMC, Ambles and his father also contacted Bama, which Bama politely told him "we have no more room for another WR in this class", or something to that affect. My guess is Ambles could end up out at USC, but it wouldn't surprise if Houston Nutt can land Ambles.

Brandon Willis Corey Miller AJ Johnson (class of 2011 LBer) Markeith Ambles? Have either decommitted from Tennessee, or is looking to decommit. http://blogs.ajc.com/recruiting/2010/01/12/vols-commits-from-georgia-stunned-by-news-kiffin-is-leaving/ http://www.goupstate.com/article/20100112/PSPORTS02/100119927/-1/PSPORTS Tennessee needs to get their new coach in order quickly, or they will be losing prospects very quickly.

Just so people here know, there are reports of "mob style" riots going on at the campus in Knoxville. Tear gas has been thrown, Lane's car was chased. Crazy tonight in Knxoville.

Leach would have been my first two for Tennessee, but if the OMC is right then if Tennessee can somehow lure Muschamp to Tennessee from Texas, then I would considered that a huge get.

That would be a sound plan for Tennessee, and IMO an upgrade over Kiffin.

Time for the Nick Saban Tour de SEC to continue I say. I'm wondering if Tubberville is seconding guessing about settling for TT when Tennessee was going to open.

I knew Lane Kiffin wasn't going to last in the SEC but man this is beyond sucks for you guys. This has a Denins Franchione to Texas A&M rat in the night type feel to it. To you and dew, I'm sorry for his. Outside of Fulmer and Lane Kiffin, I've always had great respect for Tennessee and your school did not deserve this crap. Hopefully now, you guys can land a guy like Mike Leach.

I personally think the Packers refused the Bears permission simply because they are the Bears. If it were a team outside of the NFC North, then I think they would at least let the man interview with said team, but because this is the Bears they weren't going to help their rivals. I mean look at Aaron Rodgers, do you think the Packers want to see Clements do to Cutler what he has done to Rodgers? That is more the enough reason to keep the Bears away from Clements. With that said, this really isn't the big of deal.

I'm concerned Tyrus is one of those guys who you trade and then he wakes up and becomes a good player. But you have to trade him for him to get the message, so he'll continue to be inconsistent with the Bulls. Argh. Tyrus is what is whether it is with the Bulls or another team. He is 10-15 ppg (mostly on put back and alley oops) 10 rpg, 2 spg. Is that going to be worth $10 million? No. If the Bulls don't think he is worth that deal, then they should trade Thomas.

Eh...I think the Packers did a disservice to him to not at least let him interivew for the job and the opportunity to turn the job down himself. Nothing like having someone else speak for you. But, I understand why the Packers did it.

There is two sides to the story. And GA is not necessarily telling the full truth. They are trying to pull the wool over the eyes, by making Smart out to be the "bad guy" for not coming home "when mama calls", when the reality is, GA got turned down by yet another defensive coordinator. This is getting more embarrassing then Bama's HC search of 2007. If you want to believe GA's side of the story, then you're not the full story. Because they are an admittled to be a venegeful lock when one of "their own" turn them down. So again, don't look at the story from one side, just the whole side. Personally, I think Prater is going to end up with Notre Dame, to be honest. The fact that he only took 3 official visits (Notre Dame, Illinois, and USC) speaks volume, to me, as to he was down to those three teams. And while he might schedule an official (tick, tick, time is running out) I still if Kyle Prater decommits, ND will be the favorites only because I think has a better QB prospect in Dayne Crist then either Taylor Bray or maybe even better then Jesse Scroggins. With that said, I could see Prater staying with USC. As for Blake Sims I agree. Lane Kiffen and his crew something something to get Sims thinking. From what I am told is that Blake and CNS had a get together and they mutally agree to let him reopen his commitment. Apparently Tennseess gave Sims this silly notion he could be a QB in college. I really doubt it. This is Tennessee desparate for bodies at QB position. This young man is electrfying athlete. Let him make an impact either slot (ala Percy Harvin, DeSean Jackson) or at DB where they are few coaches that can coaches up DB prospect to reach their potential more then Saban. My understanding is Blake Sims will be taking a visit to Capstone this week, and Saban has encourage Sims to take a visit up to Knoxville. The day he finished his meeting Saban, he told coach that while he was decommited, he still had Bama as his lead for his recommitment. My guess is, if Sims questions gets answered to his and his family likings, he's Bama and he won't take any more officials. So Tennessee, imo, still has quite a ways to get this kid. But if you guys pull this kid, he is extremely electrifying young man.

Hmmm....

Apparently a couple of days agao Lane and company went to visit Sims at his house and apparently whatever he said had Sims thinking, and subsequently decommited from Bama. But if Prater goes to Tennessee, I think Sims will recommit to Alabama, cause I would hate to lose an athlete of Smis caliber.

Which means Blake Sims (who is visiting Bama this weekend) could recommit to Bama if and/or when Tennessee lands Prater. I think Bama could land Sims either way, but if Tenn lands Prater, it would clear up a couple of different commitment situations.
