Other Tennessee Names: Tampa Bay Bucs Coach Jon Gruden, Duke Coach David Cutcliffe, ECU Coach Skip Holtz, Auburn Coach Tommy Tuberville…
Other South Carolina Names: Michigan State Coach Mark D’Antonio, Former Raiders Coach Lane Kiffin, ECU Coach Skip Holtz, Georgia Southern Coach Chris Hatcher, Texas Tech Coach Mike Leach, Current DC Ellis Johnson (who we think would be the prefect pick)…

Well this illustrates whey rumors are worthless. The idea of Tennessee going after Spurrier who has really not done much at South Carolina seems dumb to me, but who knows what the admin at Tennessee is like. 
The talk about Dantonio, who proclaimed himself a "midwestern guy" when this very topic came up, is just as dumb because: A) SC is not a step up, & B) Dantonio's coaching roots/contacts are in MI/OH. At most I could see Dantonio using a SC offer to get a raise, but don't see him leaving.
