Tennessee, Mike Leach meet to discuss coaching vacancy | SI.com

However this whole deal is complicated by the dynamic swirling around within UT’s leadership. We’ve heard from multiple sources there is a lot of in-fighting, finger-pointing and back-stabbing taking place amongst Tennessee brass. As SI reported earlier this week, there is a growing faction at Tennessee pushing to get Currie removed. Former Vols head coach Phil Fulmer is said to be one of those battling with Currie and that could muck up the process to reel in Leach.

The latest twist in the wild Tennessee coaching search involves the Vols making a trip out to Los Angeles to meet with Washington State head coach Mike Leach, two sources told SI.

Word is the meeting with Leach and Tennessee AD John Currie lasted a few hours and went "very well," SI has learned. And I’m told there would be genuine interest in the Vols job from the Wazzu head man. However this whole deal is complicated by the dynamic swirling around within UT’s leadership.

Factions only occur if there’s incapable leadership.

Fulmer against Currie is news to me. Glad he’s taking a stand against the incompetence.

We will be getting a bargain basement coach after this unmitigated ****show is all said and done. Is Houston Nutt available?

GET THIS DONE! How, for the love of God, is this so difficult to do? We may not win SEC Titles with Leach, but it's trying something new in the SEC, it's hiring a guy who is pretty consistent, and it's someone the fans have generally accepted.

DON'T MESS THIS UP with your kindergarten power struggle!

Fox Sports Knoxville also added that they maybe stripping Currie of his duties! It seems the boosters are trying to get rid of Haslam's puppet.

It's a win/win situation. We get Leach with Currie and he can't mess up the football program in 4-5yrs

We lose Leach, but balance is brought back to the Force!:rock:

So basically, Currie finally does something right and now chaos in the AD is going to pull the plug. So next time we play Arky they are going to hang half a hundred on us. Great

Pancake Currie, Fulmer! Gruden has not said no!

So basically what you're telling me is that Gruden is a Pos because he's been watching UT go down the drain and hasn't done a thing. if he really wanted to coach here, he would have done something.
