That is interesting. Or maybe it's to confirm to the team that Troy will be staying at AF.
http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2010/jan/14/calhoun-staying-air-force/Air Force coach Troy Calhoun is remaining at the military academy, Air Force posted on its Web site today.
\\"We are more than grateful and proud to be closely involved with the character building of our cadets and the mission of the United States Air Force Academy,\\" said Calhoun, in the statement. We are diligently recruiting and working with our team to prepare for the upcoming season. We look forward to coaching and being a part of the Air Force Academy team both on and off the field in 2010.\\"
Chattanooga TV reporting Cutcliffe is the new man at UT. Vol fans reply R.I.P. Tennessee football....
REALLY? Just heard on ESPN radio on the drive home that Cutcliffe turned them down too. I think Vol Nation is beginning to grasp at straws.
Ruffin McNeill is out at Texas Tech (along with most of the assistants) according to Griffin's ESPN blog. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4824927
Let's hope we're able to have a fruitful conversation with their DE recruits (Jackson Richards and Dartwan Bush).

http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2010/jan/14/source-cutcliffe-has-not-been-hired-ut/Duke head coach David Cutcliffe will be named Tennessee’s next head coach barring a last-second snag in negotiations, a source told the News Sentinel.
According to the Knoxville News it's all but a done deal with Cutcliffe:

If this is true, not surprising at all, after all, I was listening to AUSTIN ESPN radio. Those clowns are too busy being self-licking ice cream cones with regards the Whorn football right now to actually report the facts straight.
cutcliffe turns down UT.. wowwww.
Heard Dooley said yes to UT.
confirmed...

17-20 lifetime record...seems like a reach....
Mike Leach, Mangino, Tommy Bowden even GB would have been more solid hires for an established program like UT...
Can I start a Hawk to La Tech rumor....:devil:
Dooley was AD and coach was he not? Maybe Hawk would be interested in the position. I can only hope.
Funny you should say that, I was editing my above post to add that tidbit when you beat me to it...IMO DH would be a great AD/HC...for La Tech...
The UT scuttlebutt is that the AD did not have any kind of significant buyout for Kiffin. But he did have buyouts on the assistants, totalling about $3MM collectively. So UT is trying to get their new HC to keep as many AC's as possible. Thus Cutcliffe balked. That explains the Derek Dooley choice...which is not exactly certain at this point...Sumler is still in the mix as is Fulmer.
