I was under the impression that after the failed firing of Tubby before the Iron Bowl that year when the Pres over there and a board member or two took Lowder's jet to see Petrino (Spelling?) that Tubby pretty much was sitting on top of the house now. Now, I realize that Lowder is the man but somehow Tommy made it through that with a huge contract and now has a good staff and a good team (that hurt to say more than I can express here). I can not imagine any reason why you would leave such a situation for something like Arkansas. And no offense to Arkansas either. Somethings don't make sense and this can not be one of those "stranger things have happened" moments. Not to mention I thought if F. Broyles would have wanted Nutt gone, he would have canned him right off. Not asked for a second meeting. I understood they were meeting a second time to discuss "other" staffing changes. I could be wrong...

Here is one that Arkansas wanted and missed out on. Interesting TN hire.

UT to name Cutcliffe offensive coordinator
By ELIZABETH A. DAVIS, AP Sports Writer

David Cutcliffe is coming back to Tennessee.
The former assistant under coach Phillip Fulmer will be named the Volunteers' new offensive coordinator at a news conference scheduled for Monday afternoon, a source with knowledge of the announcement told The Associated Press.

Cutcliffe, 51, will replace Randy Sanders, who resigned Oct. 31 during Tennessee's four-game losing streak. Cutcliffe, who was on the Vols' staff for 17 years and coached such quarterbacks as Peyton Manning and Heath Shuler, immediately emerged as the leading candidate.

Tennessee finished the season 5-6 with a victory at Kentucky on Saturday, marking the first losing season since 1988. The Vols' streak of 16 straight bowl games was snapped.

Cutcliffe was the offensive coordinator at Tennessee in 1998 but was hired away to be head coach at Mississippi at the end of the regular season and did not coach in the Vols' national championship win over Florida State. Sanders succeeded Cutcliffe.

Cutcliffe was fired at Ole Miss at the end of the last season and was hired by Notre Dame's new coach Charlie Weis to be an assistant earlier this year. But Cutcliffe resigned that post a few months after he had triple bypass heart surgery.

Cutcliffe and his family moved back to Knoxville this summer, and he has kept himself busy as a fixture on several radio sports talk shows. His son, Chris, is a student manager for the Tennessee football team.

After Sanders' resignation, Cutcliffe said he was still interested in pursuing a head coaching position but would consider returning to Tennessee.

On Sunday, Fulmer fired two assistants _ receivers coach Pat Washington and offensive line coach Jimmy Ray Stephens.

Washington, a former Auburn quarterback, was hired in 1995, and Stephens joined the staff in 2002 after being on Steve Spurrier's staff at Florida for nine seasons.

Sanders remained on the staff through the end of this season as the quarterbacks coach.

One of Cutcliffe's main jobs will be preparing quarterbacks Erik Ainge and Jonathan Crompton for next season. Ainge rotated as the starter this season with Rick Clausen, a senior. Crompton sat out his freshman year to recover from shoulder surgery.

I wouldn't blame Tommy for wanting to leave. He feels like the school went behind his back to try & replace him. I'm sure he still has some ill-will about that.

Arkansas has some young talent & a team that hasn't ever really done anything, where he would be given time to build the program & become a competitor.

If it's true that there's a way around the buy-out & Arkansas is willing to pay Tubbs, I think it's a possability.
