Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVII

[GoBigOrange86]

It was not well received when early in the process I said that Currie was a puppet of whoever pushed him into the AD office, since he swept in for the job at the last second. Now, we see all the Haslam love affair for Schiano, and it turns out...

I don't care a rip about credit for it. I hate being right when it sucks

You were right.

I hoped Currie would prove to be better. I see now the folly of my arrogance, to imagine that the University of Tennessee could ever hire someone marginally competent to manage the most profitable football program in the country.

 

[BruinVol]

Means he didn’t have the bills to call him and say we were backing oit

That or he was told to stand down. I think it was being told to stfu.

 

[Catbone]

Why?


Smart did that last year.

Just a little different circumstances

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

No i don’t. I believe boosters courted him and he got calls from various people. It was never gonna be gruden. I said Currie and JG were ok with keeping Grumers alive bc i guess it gave him shade to talk to Schiano. And JG leveraging ESPN/NFL job.

Thanks for the reply :hi:
I’m beyond glad we stopped the hiring of Schiano but I’m at a loss as to where we go from here.

One last question, do you think there’s any chance Currie is actually fired?

Gucci picked a hell of a time to get put in TO. He would have been completely off the rails today.

 

[HankHill]

Davenport isn't innocent here either- I can't imagine she didn't know this was happening and did nothing. Fire her ass too and move the AD back under the president. Bring in Blackburn as AD with Fulmer as his assistant.

Davenport is the best upper Admin on campus. Trust me on that.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Most amazing thing may be that it appears we were gonna let him coach the bowl game.

Exactly.

It's like going to Krystal, starving to death, and they say, "It's going to take about 3 hours to get your order, is that cool?"

"Oh yes!!"

 

[volatil]

What does that mean? We made someone else inform him? Someone outside of UT?

Currie seated across table from Schiano. Picks up his phone.

“Greg my mom would like to tell you something”

It's a shame the "like" button goes away on high volume days. I am so proud of the RF.

Brohm, Taggart, Tee, Venables - all 4 will get you where you want to go given a reasonable period of time to build their roster. Tee is the one who needs the most help with his staff. Time to take our meds. We have been nuked by the people in charge of the program - the caretakers. Radical changes need to be made at the admin level and they just woke up a sleeping lion when they got the legislators that upset. The BOT will be dancing.

Currie has to go - now.

He was completely off the rails yesterday.

 

[Catbone]

She is a clueless ditz.

Between tweeting about Gruden and posting University of Texas stuff, id say so

 

[Rishvol]

It's actually a bit creepy

Yet true

 

[csprig9]

Brohm does have some impressive coordinators. I'd take him, he would win here imo

 

[volfanCLT]

It’s hard to have a great defense when your offense is Very up tempo and doesn’t have a lot of TOP.

Just a little different circumstances

How so?

I am assuming he would have coached if they made the playoffs.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This fan base will chew Brohm up and spit him out. Unfortunately.

Man I'm really getting sick of you taking every chance to dump on us. We have endured more garbage than any large, loyal and devoted fanbase should ever have to suffer. We are not the problem, the absolute garbage administration full of pathetic leeches we are saddled with are. Direct your vomit towards them.

 

[MSCE09]

MOU are not legally binding. An agreement to agree so to speak.

Contracts are legally binding documents.

How could we owe damages then?

 

[drylo]

Any lawyers care to help us understand MOU vs a Contract?

Typically an MOU would be non-binding — a non-binding “agreement” that outlines the high-level terms that parties are in agreement about. A definitive contract would be finalized later with more details, etc.

 

[drvenner]

Nugs from insiders on TOS say Currie has been relieved of his duties and Reid Sigmon is acting AD???

I don't believe anyone on the BOT or in this administration is capable of anything remotely resembling this level of decisiveness.

I would add Dave Arranda and Mike Norvell to that list.

 

[volamite86]

Plenty of room on this bad boy! Let’s get the real Vol navy rocking!

 

[millst987]

I can’t believe what happened today

Damn right

If Tee Martin is hired you can bet your Ass chief comes with him. Former players would take a bullet for that guy.

 

[i2amavol]

OK, my insane thought. Don't bash me too hard for this.

It was never gonna be Gruden. Case closed...

But could it be Gruden now that we will have a new AD, and Gruden knows that he will be hated if he does not take the job now? You know, he may have already known that he was not going to be given a chance to be the one.

A fellow can dream can't he?

 

[VolsnCards5]

Wtf?

Guy does something completely legal (although frowned upon) in a game of football and that shows that he’s capable of covering up child rape?

I hope I’m just reading that the wrong way.

It shows his moral compass is off. That with sworn testimony is enough to make me think the hire is a bad decision.
