And the Vols' Next Coach Is . . . ?

   If Brian Kelly of Cincinnati is Tennessee's choice to succeed Phil Fulmer, as reported by local media, that's not exactly the blockbuster announcement predicted by, ahem, "sources" to the cbssportsline.com college crew.

   But it wouldn't be a bad selection.

   Tennessee's name is well-established in football circles, so the school doesn't necessarily need to hire Mike Leach or Tommy Tuberville to lure recruits. All that should matter is the right coaching fit.

   Kelly would do well to defeat Pitt on Saturday, with the Big East title on the line, to enhance his candidacy.

   Jim Leavitt's hat also is squarely in the ring. The South Florida coach is among the most fiery in the land, and his teams overachieved until taking a step back this season.

   Is Kelly a good match for the Vols? How about Leavitt?

   If not them, then who?
