I'm down with Brent and Dave. Really good coordinators with upside and recruiting. Easier to fire if they can't cut it. I would hate to ruin Tee's legacy, but if he is willing to give a go I'm on board.

Probably going to have to get an interim AD in place first. The new coach will want to button up his contract to insulate him from the village idiot being retained or a new AD wanting his own guy.

Going to be a tough pull to get somebody of quality willing to work for this bunch.

I don't think we have to settle for Tee right now. Again we would be back taking a chance on someone who has never been HC. I still think there are some good HC out there that we can get. I think it's going to be harder because of the turmoil we have had in the last 10 yrs. just saw Sportcenter talking to Chris Low. The face of that guy on sportcenter talking about the fan base and how it was unprecedented and what coach would want to come here now. Made like we were idiots for speaking out.

Our last three hires were head coaches previously. (Kiffin, Dooley, Butch) The previous one (Fulmer) had never been a head coach before when he took the job, but he bled orange.

ROFL 10mil for assistants? Saban doesn't even pay his that much

You're now stuck with someone that's never been a head coach. You'll need to pay to get the best coordinators to right this ship and with the perception we are getting.

Not out of the relm to get 1.5 mil for acoordinator so just an off and def cord will be 3 mil. Got 8 more to go and a strength coach

Somehow, UT is going to come out of this looking bad while Schiano is made to be some sort of victim of a deranged vigilante fanbase. The media narrative is already shaping up.

I've said all along Currie is an arrogant ass. I just underestimated both his arrogance and his assery.

Is there any way in your opinion we can get Phil, Blackburn, or Charles Davis as our AD quickly? I don't think Currie will survive this and we definitely can't let him make this hire.

Gruden was never even on the table as far i know. I honesty think This whole thing was a panic over the new early signing period. Like I’ve said before i would risk that in a heart beat to bring in a high caliber coach.

It does sound like that. I'm guessing the right hire could probably convince most recruits to at least wait till the February signing period too.

I think Frost and Norvell are still on the table. Unless ucf somehow gets into the top four, they'll be available next week. Still plenty of time before early signing period too.

National media is crucifying us.

How in the actual **** does how the reaction today impact a future coach unless you have some skeletons in your closet as well?

If the fanbase is screaming give us a different coordinator, even give us Lane Kiffin, just not this guy, how is this a fit we are throwing just because we don’t like his credentials???

This! I don’t get it. We wouldn’t have even had this reaction over bobo.

Getting an interim AD really needs to be the first order of business. You got the three names right there. Shouldn't take more than 2 days to work that out, which gives you the rest of the week to look for a coach.

I find it pathetic that people would push the Gruden button as far as they did. Soooo many people got trolled and can't see the forest through the trees.

Nebraska may grab Scott Frost. If he isn’t going there, throw the bank at him and hope he overlooks our incompetence.

This is why we need the Tennessee flavor coaches. They understand this fan base and love of team. The local media gets it.

ESPN shows every day how clueless they are.

I'm starting to think we need that VFL staff, minus Gruden (obviously that dream is dead).

Let Tee take the reigns and give him everything he needs to win. It seems that the only way we can be good is with Vols running the show.

I have never been that big on bringing back VFL's, but now might be the best time in the world, in order to unify our fan base.

Uh-oh. Was it one where I called Currie an arrogant ass?

:) Nope - it ran by so fast it was hard to read and they cut off the right side as they were bringing another one on. But LA Vol was clearly seen.
