Are you Currie or one of the Haslams?

You are arguing for .500 coach that lost to Butch Jones. Butch lost to Dooley. See where I am going with this? Seeing a trend?

No more cost saving crap hires. Done.

Get us back to a Neyland coaching tree, and the rest of the world be Damned.

I hope to god by neyland coaching tree we dont mean senior citizen cutcliffe, or T Martin. good OC but not enough experience for HBC. We need a young energized coach who can recruit and develop talent. I mean we need to get off our high horse and entertain Kiffin what he has done at FAU is miraculous. Playing in conf championship in his first year veat old butch davis and he has matured more then when we first got him. People have dream jobs he left for it we all would. He made a mistake with a good conteact that would hurt him if he left we could benefit.

what ignorant uninformed Tennessee fans did yesterday not only made it impossible for Tennessee to hire a quality HC....

The way the fan base turned based on second hand hearsay!!! No coach will touch the job that will have any proven quality. TENNESSEE FANS PROVED HOW IGNORANT THEY ARE YESTERDAY AND NO COACH WANTS THAT HEADACHE OF A IGNORANT UNINFORMED CRAZY FANBASE.

And if that's not bad enough THOUSANDS of articles are going to be written about how stupid, ignorant, and inability to comprehend what they read. THAT WILL BE USED AGAINST Tennessee

SO NOW YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE HAVE NOT ONLY MADE IT WHERE NO COACH WILL TOUCH THIS PROGRAM

THERE WILL NOT BE ONE QUALITY RECRUIT TOUCH IT EITHER.

Backlash spurs Tennessee to renege on offer to Greg Schiano

This is one of thousands of articles that will keep every quality coach or recruit away from Tennessee for YEARS..... idiots

so NO coach will ever come to Tennessee... you want to bet some serious money on that? Of course, I'll need your real last name... I just can't decide if it's Schiano or Currie....

 

[crashnburn]

NEWSFLASH!!!

We are a middle of the road school at this point!

We will be lucky to get a Coordinator to take on this rebuild and overhaul.

I don't disagree. But schiano wasn't the answer to getting us back to relevancy (Penn State crap aside). The AD screwed this up by making a terrible "almost" hire. Either way there are no winners in the foreseeable future at this point.

 

[JoeMontana]

Does anyone know much about Coach Mike Houston at James Madison? Haven't heard his name mentioned, but based on what he has done, the guy can obviously coach football. Any thoughts?

 

[BTS]

Everyone needs to put vols1707 on ignore . If no one sees his messages no one responds and he goes away. Pass this on to everyone and especially to the people responding to him. This guy supports The pedophile enablers he should be gone with Shiano

 

[EricFreakingBerry]

Are you serious with that? What in the hell have we been doing for the past 8 years? We took three lesser coaches in a row and are still sucking hind tit! What on gods green earth makes you think that we can repair this mess now? We haven't been able to since we fired the only COACH we have had in the past 20 yrs or so!I hope to god your not one of the "logical" people here. If so, we are so very screwed!

Oh, please. Don't you think Bama was crying and whining like you are right now back in 2006? Franchione sucked, Debose sucked, Shula sucked. They were 67-55 between Stallings and Saban.

Tuscaloosa was a DUMPSTER fire like we are right now. They made the right hire and they fixed literally everything.

Rational people are not looking for overnight success here, but to try to defend the Schiano hire is one of the dumbest things I've ever witnessed in my entire life.

Just truly pathetic.

Was just thinking the same thing about Alabama. Everyone was critizing their program and fans for expecting more than mediocrity.

 

[thegasman54]

No

Schiano was the best hire Tennessee could get and Tennessee needed him to rebuild after 15 years of neglect....


You don't think Schiano is a good coach?????

Wait till you see what Tennessee has to get!!!

Because now due to IGNORANT EAST TENNESSEE HICKS

NO COACH OR AGENT WILL TOUCH TENNESSEE AFTER THE WAY THE IGNORANT FANS REACTED TO THIS.

Well it least it isn't schiano ... all worth it

 

[cobbwebb0710]

While I tend to agree the we as a fan base can be ignorant at times, we are not talking about protesting a Willie Taggart or Mike Norvelle here. I for one wanted NO part of Schiano and I don't care to tell it! At this point I'm thinking Big money/short term contract and go after Les Miles or coach Cutt. Simply to keep this programs head above water. At this point I don't think you can take a chance on a Brohm or Tee. We as a program are on the cusp of never return and this hire better be someone who knows what it takes at a place like Tennessee and has "been there before", whether they succeed at the level we expect or not. Just my 2 cents.
GBO!!

No one liked the Schiano hire for his merits although I do think he was an upgrade to current; simply couldn't be worse than CBJ. The point is we went full SJW on hearsay, nothing more. The point is no proven coach will want to touch the dumpster fire we created.

Had the fan base gone **** wild on lack of credentials this conversation would be different but it is not. We burned the building down and are now looking at the ashes hoping a phoenix rises.

There is no Phoenix in this scenario; we made the bed and we now have to lie in it.

I totally agree with how we have screwed ourselves:realmad:...this deal with how everything went down with Schiano is nothing short of a "WITCH HUNT"...we condemned our University by condemning a man who was cleared of any "know abouts" dealing with the "DEVIL SANDUSKY"...the entire world is against us and this really sucks...we look like a bunch of idiots for not being more educated...It looks like we have condemned and called an innocent man unforgivable names[who started this Sh#t anyway]...this debacle is may as well be the death penalty for UT football [DAMN I sure I haven't felt this way since the Titans lost in the Superbowl to the Rams...Lord help us PLEASE :sad:

PS...don't get me wrong, I was not for the SCHIANO hire, but i wish we didn't hurt ourselves in how we handle the situation...CURRIE should have hired a search firm from the get go...I think his ego is TOO BIG or NAIVE...WE NEED ORANGE-BLOODED FULMER...

 

[QuickSmurf]

This will cost us a lot down the road.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

This is such horsecrap.

Brohm
Norvell
Kiffin
Sumlin
Venables
Miles
Steel
Cutcliffe

Any ONE of these would be a way WAY better coach than what we had and several on that list would GLADLY take the job! Enough with the doom and gloom! After seeing Penn State rise up from THEIR PR nightmare, ours is laughable by comparison! All it takes is the right guy.

 

[vols4ever23]

I can't stand a spineless beta that whines like 2 year old girl. We can find a coach dude calm down! If anything it shows our fans expect the best! If they have any self doubt why the hell would we want them anyway? Still plenty of quality options out there. Let's give Lea Miles a call!

 

[reeceb73]

I don't care what everyone is saying. We did what we thought was right for the University. Standing up for what you believe in usually comes at a cost, but I don't give a damn.

We said nothing when they brought us Dooley. We said nothing when they brought us Butch. I will be damned if I am going to let them bring us a jackass, with a terrible record, and very difficult to work with -- who may or may not have known about Sandusky.

The fans have a voice and they heard from us. Let the chips fall where they may, but I will not apologize or be embarrassed by the actions of yesterday!

YES! Let us quiet the voices of discontent! We should not have to tolerate anyone whose opinion differs from our own! How dare he object to what we KNOW is right and correct!

Don't want a HC. Current process is insane. Want a paradigm shift. Throw the old process out.

 

[jakez4ut]

No he's not and he's evidently a terrible human being. The truly ignorant are the ones still lobbying for him. There's a reason he went from the NFL to hs ball

agree. i also don't recall TN having to really battle anyone away either. if this guy was in such hot demand and such a great coach, with all these openings............wondering why we're the only ones in line with a pen and a contract?

complete and utter failure on our part.

That's simply stupid. Fix the AD problem and you fix the coaching problem; it's that simple. Until Doug Dickey retired, ADs were ex coaches who knew what they were doing; since then UT has hired idiots from Joe's school of business and bullsh!t.

It is impossible to get a coach that you never offer a job, but any number of people here and there would have you believe everybody and his brother has turned UT down. I'll bet you still believe Kelly turned UT down when Currie wasn't even looking that way.
