UT Coaching stuff

So it appears that the two names that are getting the most pub are Butch Davis and Mike Leach.  Lane Kiffin isn't getting the buzz that he got a week ago, and Jon Gruden came out and said that he had no interest in the Tennessee job.  I honestly would rather have Butch Davis, but I think Leach could help UT where it lacks most, on the offensive side of the ball.  It will be an interesting few weeks to say the least.

I think NC may persuade Davis to stay put. And I think Tech will do the same thing with Leach. He has got a really good thing going in a power conference. Davis I could see wanting to go to the greener pastures of the SEC, but the Big 12 is rapidly catching up with the SEC, so Leach may want to stay put. Even though he has to compete with Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma for recruits, Texas is still a much better place to recruit than Tennessee. We'll see, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them both turn it down if their current schools are really happy with them.

Hope you guys get a winner regardless.
