Dave Doeren
Quick Bio: If you’re looking for a hot name in coaching who currently has a Power Five job, look no further than Dave Doeren. He’s been the head coach of N.C. State since 2013 and has a track record of success. He was exceptional at Northern Illinois and has had a good run at N.C. State thus far.
Pros: Doeren took Northern Illinois to an Orange Bowl and 12-1 season in 2012 before taking the job at N.C. State in 2013. His first year with the Wolfpack was a 3-9 season, but he’s taken them to bowl games ever since. Doeren has a strong track record as a defensive-minded coach.
Cons/Questions: Doeren’s best season with N.C. State has been eight wins. Twice. He underperformed this season considering expectations for the Wolfpack, and that’s not something Vol fans will like to see.

All of these are INFINITELY better choices than Greg Schiano.
Folks this could be fixed very simply.
Hire Tee Martin and have Phil Fulmer mentor him on the administrative side of being Head Coach.
Call John Chavis and him come back as DC and Asst. Head Coach
Call Dale Jones have him come as LB and Asst. DC coach with expectations when Chief steps down he is DC
Have Peyton Manning call Jim Bob Cooter and beg him to some as OC.
This fixes everything.
