PrintAdd another school that is including Tubby Smith on their list of possible head coach candidates. Tennessee's new head coach very well may be Tubby Smith, if Tubby Smith were willing to leave. Clearly they too are looking for a Tubby Smith type hire. Here is my running list of schools considering Smith for their vacancies over the last three years.
2011
- Tennessee
- Oklahoma
- Arkansas
2010
- Oregon
- Georgia Tech (which never actually opened)
- Auburn
2009
- Virginia
- Alabama
Now to the Nugz...
- Bob Sansevere talks with Jerry Kill.
- Charlie Walters talks about Murray Warmath and gives little nugget that Tim Brewster is working towards becoming an ESPN analyst.
- Minnesota's finest...Michael Floyd has been arrested, again.
- Joe Coleman is not to be outdone by Andre Hollins who dominated the Gopher-Webz yesterday. Today Joe Coleman was named the Star Tribune player of the year. His Hopkins Royals will face the Owatonna
IndiansHuskies tomorrow in state quarterfinal action.

Pure, Unadulterated POPPYCOCK By The Tennessee Scout Website
Tubby Smith, Minnesota: He turns 60 in June, so there’s some wear on his tires, but can you imagine how motivated he’d be to beat a Kentucky program that unceremoniously dumped him five years ago? (THAT’S FALSE – Tubby left by choice, UK did not “dump” him.) Smith went 263-83 at UK with a national title in 1998 but also proved he can win at mid-level programs such as Tulsa (79-43), Georgia (45-19) and Minnesota (80-53). His records with the Gophers the past four years were 20-14, 22-11, 21-14, 17-14 with NCAA bids in Year 2 and Year 3. The chance to play for a proven winner like Smith might convince Tobias Harris to return for his sophomore season. Moreover, a steady hand like Smith could help navigate Tennessee through the turbulent waters that may lie ahead. NEGATIVE: The opportunity for revenge against UK (ALSO FALSE – he harbors no such desires for revenge) may not be enough to lure Smith back to the SEC.

I am enjoying
Jerry Kill’s complete lack of tolerance for or spewing of B.S. I might be alone, but I’m okay with his “get on board, or get out” mentality toward the Gopher squad. It has been repeated before, but it’s worth saying again, the Gophers under Kill might not have as much raw talent as some other teams, but I think they’re going to play a hell of a lot harder than we’ve seen in recent history. I’m looking forward to it.
You and me both
JK is giving us reason to believe. This year could be a tough year one in terms of transitioning from one staff to another, but I am liking everything about this new HC and staff. Everyone must be patient and give this guy a mulligan this year—-he inherited a real mess.
