Maybe it's an unanswerable question but it seems hard to believe Danny wouldn't try to hire Gus before turning to Heupel.
- More accomplished over the course of his career.
- Proven success in the SEC
- Runs a high tempo offense that Danny covets
- No buyout. Obviously Tennessee isn't afraid of a buyout but hard to believe they love the idea of paying a buyout for Heupel when Gus is available for free.
