I'm glad Currie is gone. The Tennessee family is so dysfunctional (not talking about the fans). Wasn't it his job to broker the deal? This whole things reeks of garbage and corruption from all angles.

Personally, I would have liked to have seen Leach as coach. I'm not certain Fulmer will make a splash hire BUT I maybe wrong. He nails this hire, he's the AD.

This doesn't make sense. Why would Davenport sign off on a legal document worth millions on a decision of this magnitude and then reverse her decision and fire Currie 2 days later? What happened to all the reports they were talking to Sumlin yesterday as well? That suggests no clear decision. The only way this scenario would make any sense is if something came up on Leach that Davenport was made aware of that would have made him another Schiano type of incident. Could be NCAA or some other issue.

So we get bashed for revolting against every potential coach not named Gruden.

Then we fire our AD after reaching a deal on a good coach.


All is well in Knoxville. Glad fans think we are winning and set up for future success.

Don't recall any revolt on Brohm, Gundy, Sumlin, or Leach; just ACC-Butch and Schiano.

Glad to know you like the taste of the spoonfuls of crap you've been fed for the past decade. You really want more of that? Haslam is going to get his way again, and we will hire another unworthy and incompetent coach. I sure hope I'm wrong, but post Kiffin we've hired two absolute duds and had another absolute dud (and well-known a$$hole of the highest order) hired to replace them. You REALLY, REALLY want more of the same?

There was no future success being set up. Just a slow roll into oblivion. Failure after failure, as long as the fans pay their share. Eventually, we won't. Then what?

edit: For the record, I didn't want Gruden.

Most would have been good with gundy although he wasnt a realistic option.
Most would have been good with brohm, although their were a few that we actively against it.

Their were fans trying to lead revolt against Morris and NCST guy.

And now we fired the guy that tried to get Gundy, Leach. So how does that make us look?

If you need 100% consensus from the fanbase to not consider it a revolt, then I don't know what to tell you. The only coaches that I've seen shot down by the fanbase are the ones that are as bad or worse than Butch Jones, who was just fired for being a bad coach.

Why was Currie allowed to fly out and negotiate a deal with Leach only to get fired when an agreement was reached? WTF?

I laid down early this morning actually letting myself hope we landed Leach. I really wanted him in Knoxville. Dammit Nation I can't focus on work. I haven't had a full night sleep in nearly a week and my nerves are beyond frayed.

Should I abandon all hope for Leach or has that ship sailed?

Damn this is depressing.

We need fans to not flood the email/social media accounts of prospective coaches.

bigger picture...this may be a turning point day in UT athletics...in a good way for once.

i wouldn't worry about the coach right this second. we may actually have an athletic department now all signing out of the same hymnal, with only one goal in mind.

Im right there with you.im honestly just ready for this to be done.im worried though that we’ll end up with another Dooley and that this will be the final straw to push UT into complete irrelevance forever.maybe Im just paranoid but I have such a bad feeling about all of this

Interesting, considering that they didn't all sign for S-chiano (supposedly) and they didn't all want to sign for Leach (supposedly -- "what? Leach? get back on your buddy's plane and be in my office Fri morn.").

Volquest reporting Currie went rogue yesterday. Had no authority to negotiate with Leach. That gives room to fire him with cause. If Fulmer gets the AD nod, we could get an A lister like Jimbo or even..... should I mention revisiting the Gruden offer and see if he is still interested, after the deal with Currie fell through.

Currie was fired by trying to hire a coach that had a 91% approval rating on Volnation. It wasn't the fans that did that. It was done by the same people who tried to hire Schiano.

Leach could still be an option. Nobody has ruled that out. We just needed a new AD, and we're getting one. Stay tuned.

This entire coaching search fiasco wreaks of a power struggle among the powers that be. The good ol' boy system that has held the reins for so long appears to be finally imploding. If we want our football program to be successful, we are going to have to "clean house" of everything that has kept the program in chains. Corruption eventually reveals itself over time because it cannot keep doing the same thing without something going wrong eventually. What we are seeing now is the product of power, greed, deception, and a host of other adjectives. If the house can be and will be cleaned, we will have to wait a considerable amount of time before we see a resurgence of Tennessee football.

I'm afraid it means Haslam fears Leach won't take the knee and therefore doesn't want him in Knoxville.

'Haslam' is quickly becoming synonymous with 'malignant tumor' when I read that word in connection to Volunteers football. They're p*ssant control freaks who dabble in things they obviously know nothing about simply because they have the wherewithal to do so.
