I am told that UT AD John Currie made an offer to Jeff Brohm that Brohm accepted. Currie then asked the chancellor to approve the offer — buyout included — and chancellor said no. So Currie went back to Brohm with lesser offer and Brohm said no. So here we are.


I swear this is ridiculous

We will never get back til we have the right administration in place. So far both Davenport and Currie have royally screwed us for years.

What in the hell does Davenport know about football anyway? I mean it's obvious Currie doesn't, nor does Haslam. This leaves us in about the worst kind of situation imaginable. I'm beginning to fear that we may never recover from this gross ineptitude

End this charade and go get a coach that wants to be here, Lane Kiffin. Draw up a contract that protects the school and demand he abide by the NCAA rules. He can out coach all others mentioned.

I have been practicing law for more years than I care to admit. If this story is true, it is clear that UT is not negotiating in good faith with Brohm. You don't send someone without authority to negotiate a contract, unless it is made clear to the other party that everything is subject to someone else's approval. From the sound of this, Currie represented to Brohm that he was authorized, but then had to back track when Davenport nixed the deal. That is textbook bad faith negotiation. These people are incompetent fools.

Brohm's buyout is so high that I did not think Currie would pursue him. I would have liked a Brohm hire, but the money required is far above his qualifications. Not surprised that his deal fell through.

If the tweet is true, perhaps the emails and phone calls to the Chancellor and President's office calling for a good coach, instead of a cheap knock-off, are doing some good after all.

I am so done with everything about this administration. They don't know their @$$ from their elbow, and it shows with the way this coaching search has gone.

Hyams just said on the radio that the president balked on the $5 million buyout, not the chancellor.

So the reply by UT saying "No truth at all" was really a lie. There was truth to it, just not exactly accurate. Oh, and yes President Dipietro has been forgot until now in all this. He is as much if not more involved than Davenport!!
