Since Phillip Fulmer made the decision to step down at the end of the year, speculation has run rampant on who will replace him as the next head coach at the University of Tennessee. While The Oregonian suggests that Oregon State's Mike Riley could be in line for the position, I've got another name to keep your eye on: Cincinnati's Brian Kelly.

    Brian Kelly would be a good choice as long as he can bring his coaching staff with him.
  • Brian Kelly might leave to Tenn and his past history certainly points to it. But I doubt it for several reasons. First, UC probably gave him penalty ridden contract if he left as they probably smartened up after Dantonio left for Mich st. Second he's been working to get additional facilities built for his team in the upcoming years. Third the Tenn job isn't that great-- sure they put 100k in the stadium but you gotta duke it out every year against georgia and florida and s carolina and that's just the sec east. Sure the money is great at Tenn but considering the challenges, I think UC is a better gig because its in a major BCS conference Big East but with easier opponents than a SEC. Also look at the last big east coach to leave--Rich Rodrig from WV to a supposedly better gig at michigan and now he's struggling and will struggle next year too. He might very well get fired from michigan after next year or they might end up stuck with him like Notre Dame and that fat freak.
