Is it possible that we got this put together a few weeks ago, and everything that seems like a major train wreck this week is just media speculation & internet madness. Could we be that lucky. We've heard nothing from the Athletic Department all week. Could our HC position been filled weeks ago?

Ok, so VC, I'm reading through your posts....

You're saying yourself that you don't believe things that have come out because they didn't come straight from Currie....

Is the info you have straight from Currie? Why should anyone listen to you? Where is your confidence coming from?

Why is it being reported with contract numbers that he’s goin to aTm if he’s been signed with us for several weeks?? Just curious as to if this is just part of the diversion? ???? It’s on SEC country can’t believe it’s not been plastered on here somewhere yet.

I don’t talk to the media, so I have no idea. I do know they’ve been wrong all week. Why stop now?

I mean...to be fair, there were numbers about an offer made to Gruden that were posted on CBS Sports....

If VC is alluding to a coach with a game left (besides Fisher), then it could be one of the following (unless it's a coordinator)

David Shaw
Clay Helton
Mike Norvell
Scott Frost
Jason Candle
Lane Kiffin
Gary Patterson (who just signed an extension)
Lincoln Riley (no chance)
Kirby Smart (no chance)
Gus Malzahn (no chance)
Bryan Harsin
Jeff Tedford

I mean, no lie, wouldn't be sad with any of those names (except maybe Candle or Tedford, but even then, they've had decent success)

Ok, just didn’t know if this was just part of the show or not. Kinda funny that aTm hiring Jimbo and UT and Leach are in talks to workout a deal kinda surface around the same time. Just curious thanks for the reply.

What makes me think this might be possible is the fact that we would never have offered Dave Doeren the HCJ at UT. There's just no way.

Yeah, if the deal with Leach falls through, then I'll know something's up.

Just being real here....it seriously looks like Currie tried to be quiet for as long as possible, people started rumors trying to force his hand...

I honestly think there has been a list of names of people who we would "speak with."

We leaked Schiano, and that crap storm happened, and I honestly think that was unexpected, but planned to release Schiano's name. I don't think we ever wanted to hire him, nor did he ever want to come, so the vetting backlash wasn't anticipated.

Basically....either one of 3 things is happening here.

1. It really is as bad as it seems, and we really did try to hire Schiano, and only the backlash kept him from being our coach, and Gundy, Brohm, and Doeren really did turn us down, and we are the fat girl at the prom who nobody wants to dance with, and Currie really is an idiot.

2. Schiano was just "a name," who is on a list of people we agreed to help out, and we used our job as a way to get his name back into the discussion, per his agent or Haslem, or whatever, and the backlash was unexpected because we really didn't actually vet him because we never seriously considered him....and Brohm is actually the guy, but we are waiting for his buyout to drop a million dollars in the next week, so we are just making it seem like we're interviewing fiercely when in actuality, our coach is Brohm, and we'll get him for a million dollars cheaper in a week....

3. We really DO have a coach and have had him for a while. I honestly can't see how Currie could have gone to the Bahamas and slept at night if that weren't the case. Of course, at this point, Currie may be the biggest idiot on the planet. But...what if it has been in the works for a while? People automatically assume Gruden...but, Fisher has been unhappy at FSU for a while, and it's been known...what if he is our guy?

Don't know. I don't like conspiracies....but I just can't fathom us being THIS incompetent and having this hard of a time hiring someone, giving the money we are claiming to be offering.

Plus, wouldn't it be an awesome narrative to be like, "Oh...nobody wants us....just kidding, here's Jon Gruden or Jimbo Fisher or Chris Petersen." Would be nice.

No thank you, I wanna believe but I’ve been on this board a while and well I thought I’ve saw it all until this whole search debacle started. It would be really nice if for once UT come out on top witbthe media and all the naysayers.

It would be awesome to sit back and watch everyone in the media and fans including myself to have to apologize for throwing crap for the past week.

I actually think that is a great point. Honestly even during the Jones search and hire there was none of this leak, courtship, rejection revolving door mess we have been going thru this week.

Again just seems really suspect to me that someone with a lesser record than Butch Jones at NCSU actually turned this job down. But then to think of it from the other angle...why wouldn't Doeren just come out and say he was never offered the job.

If VC is a troll I was one of the first to dive into the deep end. Why? I need some hope a decade of this nonsense, arguing with lesser program fans that we ARE a powerhouse though we have been non-existent since the 2000s. Still waving a Tennessee flag all week during the fall proudly.

I just need something. VC is selling the drug and I'm buying it. I'm desperate.

My thoughts exactly. If it's Brohm, I could see them saying "Okay, look, your buyout goes down by $1M in a week. Keep going about your business, and if you wait that long, we'll give you the $1M for your staff hires."

That could work.

But yeah....I'm hoping for a Gruden/Fisher/Petersen hire.

Would accept Leach....

But if I wake up to see that Leach has turned down the offer he's allegedly been given...after someone reported he would take it IF offered???

Yeah....the smoke just turned into fire. Then I will KNOW something is up.

Because then he loses the leverage he had. He got the deal, but he can also say "tennessee offered me their position in 2017, but I said no."

It's like me when I tell the story that I rub elbows with Charlize Theron. That makes me sound like I know her....but no, she literally just bumped into me and rubbed my elbow with hers at Keeneland one year.

We are doing these coaches a favor. Mike Leach doesn't want to come to the eastern US. I doubt he wants any part of the SEC. He'd have to play defense, lol.

But he'll talk to us just to show Washington State and others that he's still "Desirable."

But if he turns us out...then I think that'll be the cue to say "Whoa...something's happening here."
