Jim McElwain has been fired (confirmed)

[GetEmVols]

That is how you run an administration. Bet they make a hire within a week.

 

[Johncarter53]

They probably get Jon Gruden

 

[UTwild82]

Report: Jim McElwain and Florida are parting ways

 

[UTwild82]

Duplicate

 

[UTwild82]

Duplicate

(geez, what the heck?)

 

[Jaws]

Officially reported just about everywhere now. Haven’t seen it on ESPN but all the UF beat writers are saying it’s done.

 

[SDV]

If Currie thought the heat was bad before, it will now be a fiery inferno

 

[rocketskates]

Wouldn't be shocked if they have a big name replacement before the end of the week. Maybe even Kelly.

 

[vols1707]

Join the movement

Demand the same level of pride and winning attitude at Tennessee

 

[Orangeblood98']

Great just what we needed. And Butch is still wearing orange as we speak

 

[Dudleys87]

I’ll be damn shocked if it isn’t Kelly

 

[pneskaug]

Scott Frost

 

[coffeevol]

Dude won the east twice and here we are fighting for a bowl in year 5

 

[fade route]

Wouldn't be shocked if they have a big name replacement before the end of the week. Maybe even Kelly.

That would be fine, clears the way for us to make a push for Mullen or Frost.

The incompetence with UT is a complete joke.

I hope they DO get Gruden! Butch is a battle-tested college coach and Gruden is just a desk jockey! He hasn't coached in years and only won a SB because he had Dungy's players! Knoxville should party if Gainesville lures the Gru! :rock:

 

[Iam4utalways]

He got fired for the way he handled his death threats. What a little baby!

As a grown man, unless you win a NC like Tebow, you can't go around crying about football and complaining about death threats.

 

[volinbham]

At this point I'd be surprised if we didn't end up hiring him.

We suck

 

[TheDirector]

Mullen or Kelly. Either will do a great job there and bring a great energy to the program. I'd take whichever one of these two they don't choose.

 

[GetEmVols]

Saban didn't win a superbowl either. I actually think Gruden would be a better college coach because of his personality.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

This makes me absolutely despise the administration at UT. Absolutely pathetic to wait this damn long.

 

[tnmarktx]

This is what a program that wants to win does. I will always hope that Florida loses every game, but to admit a fact, they will always be better then us. All because they have a smarter AD.

 

[Tennesseefan240]

Tennessee needs to fire currie then already showing he is a horrible athletic director waiting this long to fire butch..

 

[billwilson]

*edit* I accidentally put this under Vols Football sorry.

Straight to the top of Currie's secret list!!

They are not going to pay the buyout. May eventually reach a legal settlement.

If they have to pay the buyout, they can use money gained from dental plan cost savings.
