I think Schiano would have been a decent coach and brought a level of toughness back that is sorely needed. We could do worse. BUT...I don't think with his rep as being harsh on players along with the pedo stuff...would make us a team of 2 and 3 stars. Better coached....but a lot less talented than we could be. We would be a 30th ranked class type program imo. We'd still be better than Butch's more talent rich team....but there's no reason we can't have great recruiting classes AND be well coached.
Schiano was never plan B as I alluded to earlier...even sadder part is I found out about it from one of Urbans very close associates literally as it was going down Sunday afternoon with a text did you know you are closing in on Schiano? Your crew is up here now are you aware?
Ill elaborate more once I have time to put the rest of the puzzle together and the timing around it but rest assured this guy was never even on most of our radar until the very last second....which is clearly what Currie wanted.
I am headed to knoxville now...then off to an another location to discuss what measures will help force change. We must demand accountability....pure and simple.
Firing Currie and Davenport is a start, but the biggest problem with our University is Haslam's influence...he pulled all the strings. Need to start cleaning house at the top.
This would make an excellent 30 for 30.....and I'm sure this will become a future case study for most sports and business management courses at Universities near you in the not so distant future. I love my vols but damn.......the proverbial one step forward and two steps backwards saying.....not at Tennessee ....it's More like two steps backwards, fall on our @$$ like a frat girl funneling PGA then a ride to the clink for PD. Only at Tennessee!

Nope. Theyve always hated us, but nows there is proof. They would never recommend Schiano for any other HC job but ours. Now, they have it out for us. I hope they continue to lose money hand over fist and these ESPN commentators trashing vol fans lose their jobs.
I think SOME definitely were liars...and others simply fed BS from their "sources". Not sure which were which. It's something I suspected all along...but I DID want to believe. In the end...it was just too good to be true.We learned that all those claiming inside info and Gruden was coming were liars. Fact
