Currie checked with VolNation on this one and they told him no, we made too much fun of him back then to hire him now. We would look two-faced.

It's not going to happen, but I'm pretty sure our image has already been run into the ground over the last 10 years and is the least of our concerns

So you want the coach of the #2 team in the country. At one of the most iconic schools in all of football. To be contacted about his interest in the Tennessee job. Who hasn't cracked the top 10 in years

What a PR nightmare that would be when that turd of an idea leaked. (And you know Franklin would leak that story)

If Currie and Bill Snyder talk about this decision, I could seriously see Franklin being a candidate

Franklin is a good coach but, odds of him coming back to Tennessee are waaaay out there.

James Franklin (American football coach - Wikipedia)

If we pay $8.9M/yr for a coach they need to walk on water and produce Championship teams every year, not the moral victory kind either.

We need to find someone who will sell out for UT like Fulmer or Jones plus win Championships consistently. No more one and dones, can't keep players out of jail, can't acquire and manage staff, can't recruit, can't build the base and bring in the financial support, doesn't coach speak, keeps his players healthy, fills Gibbs Hall with Championsip trophies, and stays out of trouble with the NCAA.

lol, highly doubt Snyder Would even accept Curries phone call, let alone offer up pointers regarding a coaching search

University has become a joke to much of CFB. If they hire that guy it will be very hard for me to watch them play anymore. That would be a new low for the program.

Ironic, huh?

Ironic in that we definitely have a mess at Tennessee. However, our mess could be way worse. We just suck at football not at being human. The thought of a Baylor situation at Tennessee makes my skin crawl.

Everyone that disagree with me don't worry. My last name is not haslam.

Ad Currie must have lost my number because he has not called me yet. I would have advised that cbj be gone by now.
