What pisses me off about national media is some act like we would have done this to anybody which is absolutely false. Any other guy we may have been negative but not to the level of today demanding change. We would hve gotten over it but this was the one guy nobody was willing to feel good about themselves to support.

I don't particularly want Brohm but by god I'll ride or die with that mother Fer the way he coaches offense and gets people fired up. He ain't scared of nothing. His XFL video is all time greatness.

I don't particularly trust Tee is ready but you damn well know I'll support him and give him time to learn on the job and I think majority would considering all he accomplished here.

It could have even been Bobo and I could have eventually told myself his QB recruits was off the charts at least.


But Schiano was the one disgusting human I could not accept

I’ll be honest I have always paid attention to the offensive side with Brohm so I don’t know much about Nick Holt. What makes you like him? How is their D this year?

Nick Holt is aggresive no non sense type guy.Very intense. He has been with him since WKU. I think they are top 20 nationally in Points allowed on defense. like 19ppg or something.

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.

I've always given the decisions at UT the benefit of the doubt. However, the sequence of events has finally opened my eyes. It's unbelievable how much incompetence is in power around UT.

We didn't behave like this for Dooley, and GS is a far better coach than he is. We wouldn't have behaved like this for Bobo, who is a far worse option than GS as far as football goes. It's just easy to dump on us, so the lazy media does it.

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?

Yep - if it's Brohm or anyone else, this fanbase is going to go twice as hard for the guy to prove our only concern was the Penn State stuff with Schiano.

I'm so damn tired of the fans getting dumped on by the media! Why don't they don't on the damn administration of this university who makes these asinine decisions?! And a booster who calls the shots named Haslam? Why don't they dump on them?

Kinda funny to picture Schiano and Currie both awkwardly becoming cognizant of the insane backlash at the same time while hammering out the final details of the contract.

*bzzzz* *bzzzz* bzzzz*

*both check phones*

*both silently glance up at the other*

"Um...I have to make a quick phone call."

"Yeah, uh...me too."

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.

I get all of that. I just want our fans to stop making our coach’s job harder.

If Curry is still the AD tomorrow, he should open the bank vault and go after the best he can buy even if he has to pay a stiff amount. Frost, Peterson, Leach for starters. Make them say no to a nice payday. Then look at Norville and some coordinators.

I have never been more proud of this fan base than I have in the last few weeks. Fans cheering loudly in the LSU monsoon when there was nothing to gain and now this incredible fan revolt that stopped a horrible hire.
