I think there are a lot of coaches that actually do not want to go to the SEC right now... with the dominance that Alabama has laid down on that league a lot of good coaches just feel there is no chance for them to win especially with Saban most likely not going any where any time soon. With coaches only being given 2-3 years now to provide DRASTIC results (conference championships mixed in with CFB playoff potential) or get canned and banished from head coaching forever for a P5 team, they want to make sure they are setting themselves up for a good 6+ years. Why would any decent coach want to do that unless it was their dream job (alma mater, etc.). Chip Kelly had his choice of Florida, UT, and UCLA and he chose the Pac12 school. Multiple coaches have turned down $6+ mill a year for 5+ years to stay where they are.
Mix that in with how UT fans have treated their past few coaches as well as Curries poor reputation with coaches and his new reputation as being publicly incompetent. UT may just have to start looking at the local high schools to find a coach. A coach is already set up to fail/lose by going to UT right now and it is quite sad.
