The man who looks like he should be the head coach at Tennessee, will not coach at Tennessee.

Mike Gundy and his fabulous mullet rejected the Vols’ offer Tuesday after meeting with school officials in Dallas. According to Brett McMurphy, Gundy had an offer on the table for $42 million over seven years, but declined the offer to remain at Oklahoma State. A phone call from Peyton Manning couldn’t even convince him to leave for Knoxville, per McMurphy’s report.

You can now throw Gundy’s name onto the long list of candidates who turned down the Tennessee job. It’s a list that grows by the day.

They need to save everyone’s time and hire Tee Martin.
