Hire Lane.
We are literally getting backed in a corner.
Although I dont want him either, its kind of sad when a former Vol, semi-legend, curmudgeon, doesnt want our gig and instead wants to stay at Duke, where football dreams go to die.
Lovely.........
Well......do you want a spry geriatric that loves being bowl eligible. If so then this is indeed a sad day.
On the flip side....we could look at another spry geriatric that has played for 2 NCs and won one in Les Miles.....if thats the route they want to take.

Sorry you all are having to go through all this.
Florida gave Mullen $36 million over 6 years = $6 million per year. Currie is trying to go cheap by getting a mid-major coach or a coordinator for around $4.5 million annually. Therein lies the problem. We will not get a high quality coach capable of cleaning up the burnt-out dumpster of a program we have until the UTAD is willing to open the vault like Florida did and spend at least between $5.5million to $6.2 million to hire a good, upper level coach.Until then, we will have to put up with the Butch Jones', Derek Dooleys', and Greg Schiano's the UT athletic directors and Haslam dump on our once proud program. Currie is a pompous schmuck who needs to be fired for the mess he has created.
At this point, sadly, that might be our best option. Just get ready for him to bolt again after his first season of exceeding expectations. Thats who he is
