Here is a report from the athletic department on Currie's thoughts.

Quit the hope of this is what Currie is doing or thinking. Here is the most proof we have.

We're not going 7-5

Wow

Keep in mind Chattanooga free press is a well respected news department.

This is not written without trust in this source.

We're not going 7-5

Hopefully not

Please explain how a times free press article is a report from the UTAD?

 

[Jax_Vol]

I think that is fair.




Unless the Gruden's choose to build on that east Tennessee property.

I hope Hargis wrote it...

I hope Hargis wrote it...

lol: I see what you did there…

 

[Panthro]

LOL...don't worry about it! I'm so confident that this team will not win-out that I'd even take that bet right now. You think we're beating Southern Miss, Missouri, LSU and Vanderbilt?

Someone = That elusive unnamed source.

If we go 7-5 based on what ive seen he deserves another year.



We arent going 7-5.

 

[turnuptheVOLtage]

Lol... we're over here saying "Yeah, just go 7-5 and you can keep your job" while Florida just fired their coach who won the SEC-E two years in a row. If (somehow) that actually happens, I am done watching UT football. Retarded.

 

[ALLVOL14]

Come on now lol. Currie is not as delusional as most of you think he might be. The guy is young, savvy, and an Athletic Director in the SEC, he knows what he is doing. You can say Haslams blah blah blah, but in the end he is the AD, he isn't stupid. Relax and lets ride this roller coaster together. "Bigger Picture"
Go Vols

 

[Iam4utalways]

Hopefully not

I expect we will and then win our bowl.

I will say it again! Once we become ineligible for a bowl game, bUtch will be fired.
In the event that we go 6 -6 and make a bowl game AND the A.D. can't find a better replacement for bUTch, then bUTch will be back next season.
Why fire him and pay the buy out, just to hire Mike BoBo and get he same results?
If we go 6 -6 AND the A.D. finds a suitable replacement, then we hire the replacement. Doudt anyone that is much better than bUTch will come here NOW!

To me, that’s pretty much him saying Butch is done. There is no way he goes 7-5. He knows it, Currie knows it, you know it.

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

Good thing Mizzou will throw the ball for 500 yards and LSU will run it for 300 yards on us then.

 

[TNTechVol]

So, is Butch staying till the end of the season? Sounds like it.

We arent going 7-5.

He doesn’t deserve anything more than his negotiated, contractual buyout at this point, I don’t care what the final record is. 7-5 with how this team has looked/behaved/played is a significant step backward. And I don’t care what “he deserves”....I care about what the players, fan base and university deserve, and it’s much better than what Butch Jones can provide.

Any coach would be better than Butch. He’s the worst coach we could possibly have right now. He’s terrible and we will be terrible until he’s gone.

Bringing Butch back is literally the worst thing he could do.

This isn't surprising if true. I doubt we'll finish 7-5 though.

Lol, yeah like the ones often qouted here.

Vols fans becoming a gullible as heck. This article does nothing more than generate traffic to their site. Congrats.

 

[Dudley Smith]

That would worry me a lot more if we had any chance of winning four in a row.

Setting the bar as better than Butch is setting the bar awfully low. With even average play calling and player development we probably go 9-3 this year with losses to UGA, Bama, and maybe one other, likely LSU.
