Man... just caught up. Here was my thoughts.
1. Woke up at 6:00 am, checked ESPN app immediately, like a kid on Christmas morning. Vols on verge of hiring Schiano. "What the..."
2. Begin checking VN, every single page, getting enraged and tensed with every page. Thinking about the prospect of dropping my obsession with Tennessee football, posting a little, but just really ready to drop it.
3. I remember my fears and posts about the AD not caring about anything but making shiny things, about how I had been a fool to ever believe otherwise... only to have some faith restored as we began to debate the merits of whether Mullen was worthy. Suddenly... my fears were absolutely, and completely realized.
4. I see that Currie has apparently not put 10 minutes of work into this, based on his behavior, was much more concerned with the air of secrecy and thus did not open his thought process up to anyone with a brain. He stewed in his own self-arrogancy, thinking this was the best he could do. I was told to trust the master plan, and that he would come out smelling like roses. I was led to believe that Patterson and Mullen were in the back pocket. I was told that he was high on Frost and Campbell. I actually watched an acting AD use every possible positive name as a smokescreen for one of the worst possible hires, and actually convince himself this was a good idea. He may have actually even signed him already, screwing the AD out of 20 million, though I have to see this to believe it.
5. Then... like the Titans of old... I saw Volnation rise up with a fury which has never been seen in the world of sports. Singlehandedly, this fanbase crushed it all. I would not have thought it possible, but we did it.
6. Now, Currie must go. Put Fulmer in. Don't waste time. He's there already, he loves Tennessee, and as we've seen, when you give these monkeys 9 months to hire an AD, Currie is what we get.
7. We are probably not looking to get a proven winner. Campbell, Petersen, Taggart, Frost and mostly likely out, unless they were never contacted due to Currie's ineptitude. We are to the point to where maybe we get Morris, who may turn out good. Leach may come because he is completely unaware of anything, but the dude wins everywhere. Otherwise, Tee may angle to get in, and may be the best we can do.
8. I am sad, because our dreams of a top coach have once again been dashed, and our administration has proven again that they do not care and only want butts in the seats. I am proud of us as a fanbase, that we have let them know this is unacceptable. Let's watch.
