Let's see here MSU Head Coaching job got lots of interest and filled the position within 72 hours. Meanwhile the Tennessee Coaching search has been a Dumpster Fire but like the Dumpster was filled with 2 week old used baby diapers and Thai food.

So given these well covered events, will the Media finally get off their tired old "it's so hard to recruit players to come to StaksVile Miss-uh-sippie...hardest job in da SEC" outdated / uninformed narrative?

We were going after assistants. UT is going after established head coaches. It’s not a comparable situation.

I am happy we handle our vacancy so well but drawing in an assistant you can pay 2.7mm is completely different than what Tennessee is facing.

Schiano is an assistant. If the AD thought he was the right guy, he should have stuck with him and not wussed out. He’d probably still have his job.

They are probably going to hire an assistant in the end anyways. Tee Martin will probably be their guy.

That may be true but it’s not related to the original question.

UT is trying to land a big name. W didn’t even attempt it. Completely different circumstances and unrelated to what they may ultimately end up with.

.....and they were unable to do so because that isn't nearly as prestigious a job as they'd like to think it is.

Big names left that search long ago. They maybe approached 2 big names in the entire ordeal, Mullen and Gundy (Gruden was never real). Schiano, Sumlin, and Doeren are all complete trash candidates and I’d be pissed if Cohen even talked to (let alone offered) any of them.
