Booger McFarland and Mike Golic took the UT fans to the woodshed this morning. Booger said no coach would want the job now unless its a lower level assistant.

I disagree, but it is a black eye. All of this is going to cost lots of millions, if I were to guess.

The media is acting like we’re just mad with him as a coach and ignoring the rape issues

the fans feel like they've been taken to the woodshed the last few years, and
let the talking heads say whatever, vol nation deserves a good solid coach

Bizarre that they can't wrap their head around the idea that a fanbase doesn't want to hire a guy who helped enable a pedophile. If that makes us a bad fanbase then fine.

XM said the same but went after Currie too saying why did he think he was a good fit both as coach and culture fit.

The only name that wouldn’t think twice is Tee Martin. He just interviewed for the Ga Southern job so he is being looked at for HC positions.

It may be, but the media needs to look at whose massive incompetence led to this whole fiasco: John Currie. I don't care who's power, if anyone's, he was bowing to making that hire; him expecting that to be anywhere near a hire that would go over is as blatant a display of stupidity as I have ever seen. Greg Schiano should never, ever have been anywhere near our list of candidates.

I don't know that I agree with these guys but I think a lot of coaches will. I think we might do well to get an interim for a year and take some time to find a good coach.

Right. We would have never known unless people told us. Nobody watches that crap.

I think Google can take credit for exposing those unsealed records, or ESPN would've been all over it when they came to light last year. They don't like to smear Ohio state though, so it was quiet.

They are saying UT fans are using the PSU thing as a crutch, they just didn’t want Schiano as coach. One said last night if Gruden was in the same situation, Vol fans would have paraded him to the stadium. For some, that’s probably true but I think most were sincere in their protest.

Bad part is, all the big names are gone.
Can’t hire Leach or Petrino now either otherwise will be called the biggest hypocrites in the nation. It is what it is.
