Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVII

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Think he should face the media then fired

He should not make it past noon tomorrow if anybody over there still cares

 

[Volwark]

Laugh so hard I am crying

Seriously. Need more gif storytime.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Reading between the lines here... UEM confirms Jim and Schiano have strange sex party intertwined pasta and have a death pact.

Amirite or amirite?

Lol..nah. I just think they are really bad judges of character and have very little discernment when it comes to ability/talent.

Rob Lewis said as of 12:15ET no word on a presser for tomorrow. (This was in regards to a question about Currie speaking to the media.)

No, that's bull**** Currie. You wanted to fly around like a big shot, keep everyone in the dark including staff, boosters, and former players, go to the Bahamas, and not hire a search firm? Well you failed you absolute piece of irredeemable trash...and now you get to walk out to that ****ing podium tomorrow and answer for every ******n bit of it.

 

[LA Vol]

You think Currie will be fired?

UT looks for any reason not to fire people, and they always wait too long to let go of people they're better off without. If there's any way to keep him and hide him away, they will. But this may be too egregious for that. IMO, Davenport would like to kick him to the curb and will, if they'll let her.

 

[delfonic]

WSMV just said Schiano “tore up the contract as a favor to John Currie”

Ugh, everything about this stinks. Currie knew he was going to fire Butch and hire this cat at his first opportunity to do so.

He's scheduled to speak at the quarterbacks club

 

[Dooby15]

I wonder, at this moment, what Currie is doing? Is he back in Knoxville? Is he in a hotel somewhere? Is he thinking about his next move? Must suck to be him right now.

I bet he’s packing boxes.

Also, all these folks talking about national perception and battles and the war and what not...

We've been losing the war for years. We've been d***-punched since 2007. I'm fine spending a few more years getting punched in the d*** for this. Our AD didn't perform their due diligence and the fan base rose up and let their voices be heard. There is nothing more idealistically American than that.

I'm still a Tennessee fan through and through. I plan on attending as many games as is feasible next year to watch whoever they trot out as a coach. I will still live and die on every down like I always have... that's something I wasn't sure about for the couple of hours today where Schiano was our coach.

Exactly. No matter what happens, it's a win to not feel morally bankrupt from cheering for your team.

Get it done, Big Bev!

that was the best

 

[Catbone]

Yep looks that way

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Get it done, Big Bev!

I laughed outloud at this

 

[Aesius]

Exactly. No matter what happens, it's a win to not feel morally bankrupt from cheering for your team.

Someone on VQ made a good point when it was going to be Schiano. Said they took something that, while a lackluster product for a decade, was still fun and turned it into something that was morally and ethically questionable.

 

[delfonic]

If you guys want to know the associate AD who leaked, just look for the person who doesn't have a job at 9 AM tomorrow.

 

[amazingGRACE]

He's scheduled to speak at the quarterbacks club

Lol that'll be awkward.

"So uhh...how about that weather guys"

 

[Volwark]

And oh I would kill for Mehlen right now. Currie is even worse than I thought

'Member when some of us thought Schiano was a smokescreen to make us accept Mehlen?

The actual plan was far more diabolical than that.

 

[InVOLuntary]

TOS said Chad Morris had been vetted, I wonder if we could get in with him?
Apparently he thought he had a shot.

He's got SMU trending in the right direction for sure. Would take him.

Vetted vetted or John Currie vetted?

 

[scvolfan7]

Well this was a ****ty day. Only positive is Schiano will not be our new HC. Tomorrow will be interesting.

Today was a great day. Hopefully the beginning of a new movement within volnation. If this emboldened some of the higher ups that it’s ok to stand up to the Haslams, then maybe we can enter a second golden era of Tennessee football. But first...#FireCurrie

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Imagine watching Butch Jones tank this team and then thinking Schiano, who is basically another Butch Jones, could be Butch’s brother but worse, is a good replacement. That guy is your number 1. Tone deaf.

Does not have egregious skeletons in his closet.

Failed the vetting process.

 

[Catbone]

You guys think we even reached out to Petersen or Patterson?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Vetted vetted or John Currie vetted?

Good point.
