I posted this somewhere else, but....it belongs in here too.

One of 3 things is happening right now:

1. We really are as bad off as we seem. Currie really did have Schiano as his #1 the entire time, and went to the Bahamas thinking he was going to hire Schiano, and tried to go rogue and hire him with Peyton, Haslem's, Davenport's support, and then VN and state legislature said nope. And then Gundy really did have an offer and turned us down...and then Brohm turns us down. And then Doeren turns us down....and now Leach has an offer, and may turn us down....and we are just the fat girl at the prom who nobody wants to dance with, and despite us throwing millions at these coaches, our AD is an idiot who is controlled by Haslem and nobody wants to be our coach.

2. Schiano was just a favor who we floated in order to get him consideration for other positions, and it went terribly wrong. Gundy seems to come up every search as a guy who seems like we are swinging for the fences, but everyone knows we won't get. And then, Brohm....and Brohm is the guy. The report was that he didn't like the counter offer...but the critical piece is that Brohm's buyout drops in a matter of a few days. They may have shook on an agreement, but continued until Tennessee can get him for a million cheaper. Perhaps they told him if he waited, he could have that extra million for staff hires. But, it's possible Brohm is the guy, but we have to keep looking so that people will think we're still searching. If he is, then once his buyout drops, we'll know.

3. What if we really do already have a coach? I know that sounds crazy...but how else, unless Schiano REALLY WAS the guy do we have an AD that thought it was cool to go chill in the Bahamas for a couple of days? I understand you're supporting the basketball team, but do that in March, not in November.

I'm not even necessarily saying it's Gruden, though I'd love it to be. But maybe like this VolCalls person is saying, maybe it's Fisher. Maybe he isn't going to Texas A&M, maybe he is coming here? Maybe the hire was Lane Kiffin or Bobby Petrino, and the only way to unite the fan base was to throw out someone he knew we would never get behind like Schiano?

I don't know....something just tells me that as bad as it looks...maybe it's supposed to look that way. Maybe we are supposed to look like a trainwreck, and then Currie saves the day and hires a huge splash that makes us the talk of the country?

I mean...maybe we literally are waiting for Florida and A&M and Arkansas and Miss State to make their hires so that we can come in and say "Now look what we have."

Don't know guys..

Honestly....I'm still Gruden til it ain't.

I wanna believe! Help my unbelief!

The UT administration isn't viewed very highly.. I haven't heard the players being viewed negatively.. Or the stadium and other facility.. It's the fans that set the standards.. So we would appreciate it if you would fight the fight and not just settle for whatever lame coach they try to force.. If Mike Leach is what you think we deserve than congrats you're what's wrong with the university

Mike Leach isn’t a lame coach. And obviously you haven’t noticed coaches saying they want nothing to do with this toxic environment. You guys aren’t going to be happy with anyone but Gruden. ITS NOT HAPPENING

You guys should check out The Vin Man posts. His friend is helping with the hire(may be a friend of sexton I dunno). But according to him it's Currie/Haslam vs Ergen/boosters, Peyton,Fulmer. I Don't think Peyton approved the Schiano hire. But man has he posted almost everything before it happened. He says Leach won't happen and Currie prob fired tomorrow.

It’s over....most of the fans don’t understand it’s not about Gruden. Their already in love with Leach.

Sad part is my daughter who is a senior at UT said they don’t even call it UT but University of Haslam because they all know he runs the show. That’s what I’ve been fighting for.

I mean... Is she in the business school because that would make sense..

More than one media outlet has reported that Les Miles has interest, if not outright wants the job. What the hell are we doing flying to Washington State and offering the NC State coach $4.5M when we have a NC winning coach with an all time record of 141–55 who is interested?

Jesus. Gruden is not coming, get over it. You can’t try and protest every dang candidate there is.

Currie and Haslam need to go, Currie doesn't deserve to make the hire. You need to realize the problem. And until a hire is made whoever it is this is still a Gruden thread. I don't see a leading candidate, so I wouldn't come to this thread and tell someone to get over it no matter how it shakes out.:rock:

Listen very carefully.....ITS ABOUT FIRING CURRIE AND TAKING HASLAM OUT OF POWER. It’s not about Leach or Gruden or any other coach at this time.

Am I the only one that thinks that, while funny, Leach's brand of crazy would get kind of old after a while? I started watching a video of some of his comments and couldn't get through it all.

I don't know but if I had to guess.....Sexton.

His agent is Matt Baldwin. Baldwin worked at IMG then had an apparent nasty split with them to end up at CAA Sports with none other than, you guessed it..... Jimmy Sexton.

Edit for the spelling. Thanks autocorrect.
