The Tennessee job remains a premier job not just because it's in the SEC, but because of their long pedigree of success and the 100,000 fans who fill the stadium.

It's a premier job, despite the lousy performance of the past years.

being a top 21-25 job isn't a premiere job.

There aren't 20 better jobs. Missouri? Arizona? Iowa? North Carolina? List them.
There are about 10 clearly better. Tennessee is in the middle of that second 10.

Tennessee is one of 18 schools to win an AP MNC since 1984. They are one of only 21 to win one since 1960 (Georgia, Pitt and BYU 84 or prior). Oregon outside of that group is the only school that might be considered top 20. And do you really think Oregon is a better job than Tennessee? Is Pitt? Is BYU? That puts them #18 at the worst.

Sure there are. If it's so great then explain why the last three head coaches were Derek Dooley, Butch Jones, and Jeremy Pruitt.

Texas hired Charley Strong. They hired David McWilliams in the 80s. Notre Dame hired that HS coach in the 80s. Sometimes ADs make bad choices.

Again, put up or shut up. List the 20 better jobs.
