If Schiano was #1 guy then there is something clearly wrong

Time to take the house down to the foundation. We need to grade the building site. And also dig up the septic system.

Wow, Davenport's statement is really telling. She intends to let Currie ride this out.

This is unacceptable. Currie didn't just make some little misstep along the way. He's horribly bungled every single little detail of the entire process, up through that tone-deaf statement of his. He's made it clear that he CAN'T be trusted to make a single decision for this athletic department ever again.

It's time to make sure Currie is gone. Contact the chancellor. Contact the president. Contact the trustees. Money talks louder than anything else. If you know any boosters, get them to put some pressure on the university.

And if anybody else at UT makes it clear that they're still all in on John Currie after this, then they're making it clear that their judgment can't be trusted either.

Let's get this done.

She helped him make fake flight plans to troll the fanbase.

She needs to be gone yesterday just like Currie.

I called the AD office and DiPetrio’s office too. A person answered both times right away, and I said I wouldn’t give another dime to UT until Currie is fired.

Our fan base is an embarrassment! There are better ways to show your dissatisfaction than some of the things being said here. TN’s fan base is immature and arrogant.

Davenport needs to be fired as well. There is absolutely no excuse in the world for such a botched coaching search by one of the most powerful Athletic Departments in the world. We need to set an example and standard here that anyone who isn't 100% committed to excellence need not apply.

This whole thing is really a shame.

DiPietro was ready to break out the fedora and happy dance again last night.

This AM, other University AD's gathered in their conference rooms with their staff, and they brought out the "Coach Search Manuals" and under the section called "Never Eff Up a Search Like This" they placed the UT debacle yesterday. It's in the section right before "Making up Fake Flights" and "Trolling Your Fanbase on Twitter"

Also, please don't shoot the messenger. I think this is extremely dumb.

Beverly Speaks:

“I deeply regret the events of yesterday for everyone involved. The university remains steadfast in its commitment to excellence, and I look forward to John Currie continuing the search...”

The message was obviously cut off with the part about his resignation. Please go back and add that!

I understand being upset with his first choice. I also understand that brings his judgment and competence into question. I even understand that he was not the most popular hire to begin with.

But that doesn't mean he can't learn quickly from his mistake and make a much better hire, and the good news is, this is still very possible.

I personally am willing to give him a second chance. Firing him now is insane, and we all know Davenport isn't going to do that anyway. She hired him over a much more popular candidate (Blackburn...or at any rate I'm told he was popular).

So we are stuck with Currie. Might as well hope his next choice is a winner.

Hell...it can't be worse than Schiano, can it?

So take a deep breath. We have not lost the coaching search yet. Not by a long shot.
