I really like Mike Leach and he's a really good coach. I'm worried that he has never really worked with 4 star calibre athletes across the board and never recruited them. I'm sure he can bring in a great staff if Currie is gone and Haslam is relegated to Tier Two.

But if an MOU is signed with Gruden, this is patently absurd. HAS GRUDEN SAID NO TO TENNESSEE? HAS GRUDEN BEEN APPROACHED? These are the questions that need asking and, most importantly, answering.

If the answer is NO then EVERY MF'ING THING ELSE IS WRONG!

On the Mike Leach front, I've watched 3 2017 games in full, Oregon, USC and Stanford.

The question I kept asking was, golly what would this do if he had Alvin Kamara or John Kelly...the answer I think is what Kamara is doing with the Saints. Just watch the 1st Qtr. of the USC game and remember, it's a 2*, walk on QB who intended to go to Cornell, but the coach got fired and Leach convinced him to walk on...also, the QB for USC is very highly regarded, 1st round pick type guy, ask yourself which QB looks better. USC was ranked #5.

I only skimmed a little from last night. Are we believing the Leach thing? Idk WTH to think anymore.

Is Currie still employed and orchestrating the search?

Put a whoopin on us I'll never forget. Nah the basis of me saying that was an argument over Leach and not having any titles but Les has titles and knows the SEC. I'm about winning championships and we've been talking to coaches barely over .500. Les is .740+ lifetime. What can I say? You want flashy without a title or you want a 4 qtr. grinder that isn't pretty but wins. Oh you'll get flashiness with leach but you won't get it on a consistent enough basis to win a title.But while our AD WAS ON VACATION instead of doing his job, Mullen was expecting a phone call, etc....

To answer your question I'm up in these hills like you are. I don't have any wants myself. I'd like some common sense to hit Ktown so they'd fiqure out that you get out early and get the best hire that's out there. Or better yet go long term with our alumni and learn a system and keep about 4-5 former players in that system and hire within.

Wisconsin has the formula. They have 14 coaches on that team who actually played for that school. Who do you like if you don't mind me asking? I'm pure Vol but i'm not going out of my way with any expectations because they ain't happening. Worse yet I can clearly see UT is headed for the cellar with Currie.

Another day, another coach.

WTH, Currie?

Tennessee is like the ugly guy with BO that can't get a date for the Prom. Keeps asking anyway and ends up going with his Mom.

Acquired taste for sure, maybe, you would like to just back out and move on to another thread that's not full of fantasy..?!!!

Because it’s more than a thread
It’s more than a message board
It’s more than the coaches or lack there of
It’s more than the bs admins we have on the Hill
It’s here and will remain here
It’s family to us

I was just wondering since he's dicked us around twice. No need to be a smart ass, I was just wondering.

So, what is the coach contact/talked to/talked with/interviewed/offered/ and rumored to have contacted/talked to/talked with/interviewed/offered number up to now?

Get that mother f***** Currie out of the AD and do something that stops the running jokes UT admin!

If this coach isn't Gruden it better be someone that can damn near walk on water.

If there were ever two coaches that could buck the system it’s Kiffin and Leach.

Both of which I can’t see getting the green light fom the president or chancellor
