Well, so much for all of that Calhoun-to-UT talk we were hearing earlier this afternoon. And so much for the meeting with the players serving as a goodbye for the Air Force coach
According to a statement just released by the school, Troy Calhoun will be the head coach at Air Force in 2010.
“We are more than grateful and proud to be closely involved with the character building of our cadets and the mission of the United States Air Force Academy. We are diligently recruiting and working with our team to prepare for the upcoming season. We look forward to coaching and being a part of the Air Force Academy team both on and off the field in 2010.”
With that statement, yet another name can be crossed of Tennessee’s wish list for a replacement for Lane Kiffin.
Now, perhaps, Duke’s David Cutcliffe is back to his lead dog status? That remains to be seen, but what appears to be a near certainty is that this whole Calhoun thing won’t be the final twist in the road for the Volunteers.
