Tennessee Volinteers Next Head Coach?

Tennessee is on a the hunt to find there next head coach after firing Derek Dooley after 3 years of total disaster. Tennessee is a top tier program looking for a come up but to do this you need a great head coach especially playing in the SEC (Southern Eastern Conference). Tennessee is looking for a coach with head coaching experience. Tennessee number one choice was Jon Gruden but he said he is happy being an NFL announcer and if was going to coach again he said it would be in the NFL. So with Jon Gruden out of the picture where will Tennessee go next. Some of the names that have been mentioned as possibilities include Florida State's Jimbo Fisher, Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy, Miami's Al Golden, North Carolina's Larry Fedora, Louisville's Charlie Strong, UCLA's Jim Mora Jr. and Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart. in my opinion the obvious choice is Jimbo Fisher but that won't be easy trying to get him to leave a good program like Florida State but if they don't get Jimbo Fisher I think they should get Kirby Smart and I know he has no head coaching experience but this is why I would take a chance on him. He is coming from the best football program in college football, he is a defensive coach and that's the side of the football Tennessee is strong ling on the most with Tennessee being the 112th ranked defense in the nation, he is a great recruiter, and he has been learning underneath one of the greatest college football coaches ever which is Nick Sabin, so I feel like Tennessee should take a chance on Kirby Smart.
