A lot of their media and fans were assured they were getting Leonard. The fact that they go from interviewing someone with high caliber to simply promoting from within isn’t a great look.

If their current staff post-Harbaugh exodus isn’t making recruits flock to them now, not sure how promoting the same from within is going to help them level up. And they can say “we don’t need a bevy of 5 stars” - yes, yes you do. Especially after Sam Webb and other scum media are coming out admitting they don’t have great NIL resources and it’s hurting them. Recruiting and portal are your future investments, and it ties back to coaching names. So I take this as a big L for them.

I was just making fun of "county" (country).

Can't help but think that the uncertainty of looming sanctions was the only thing keeping Leonhard away.

Or at least the main thing.

Considering how qualified he is and how this compares to his current options; to say this does not bode well for the crybaby's ability to attract a decent staff would be an understatement

That’s been my thoughts as well. They win a natty, Harbaugh & Co leave and their replacements are:

-HC: Hire from within
-OC: Hire from within
-DC: Hire from within

These types of moves can be normal spread out over years, but all 3 key positions at once? Nah, they know sanctions are coming.

The DFBIA will paint this as them "keeping the culture intact." But that's a load of horse shit. A first time head coach benefits from good, strong, experienced Coordinators. He's promoting two first-timers from within. This is their only option because it's unlikely any coordinator worth a damn is going to jump onto a program that has not one, but two major NCAA investigations hanging over its head. The guy they're going with as their OC was an Analyst two seasons ago and had one year as the QB coach. That is woefully underqualified for such a position.

The culture shit is hilarious anyways. Their coach after having a foot out the door the previous 2 off seasons finally got his offer and left them high and dry with 2 looming NCAA investigations that he already served suspensions for and took any good assistants with him. Is that a “culture” anyone should really want?

I'm looking forward to seeing that become an example of "The Peter Principle" hat trick, which culminates into the "Perfect Storm" for scUM football in 2024...........:boogie:

It's not quite the Peter principle since they weren't promoted based on their perceived abilities. They're just getting a pay bump to play whipping boys while holding together the scraps.

I think Tennessee's response to the NCAA might actually spur them to crack down on tcun. NIL violation enforcement--particularly since the wild west that's come about has come about as a direct result of their years of dodging the issue--is going to be a third rail from now on. tcun violations (old fashioned recruiting violation and an on-field cheating violation) are tailor made for them to be seen as doing something without touching the NIL third rail.

That’s not a staff I’d wanna join if I were an established name….they are gonna be so average next year…..fair or not, any coach that jumps on board is going to be seen as a failure coming off their championship.

So let’s recap:

- No big star-power name coaches
- Sanctions to be coming down on already average coaches
- Won a natty but got no recruiting bump
- Recruiting average on the decline over the last 3 seasons despite success: #19 (‘24), #20 (‘23), #9 (‘22). In fact they haven’t been this low in class average since 2018.
- Broke as fuck with NIL issues. So they won’t be playing much of the portal game. (Sam Webb did an entire podcast on scum’s failure in NIL. JBook’s been roasting him all day on this).

Sweet…
