I wanted Gruden or Kiffin. They would have instantly turned the program around. Leach is a better coach than Butch & Dooley but that doesn’t say much.

Wtf you talking about?

Dooley and Butch pulled top 25 or higher classes the whole time here and couldn't do squat with it, Leach takes lower ranked classes and wins

Tennessee as a school alone will pull in recruits, I'm with Freak on this, give Leach all of this and don't be surprised to see his recruiting get a heck of a lot better

You're probably right. Especially because we impugned their beloved Ohio State by revolting against one of their blessed coaches based on his past.

I have a newfound hatred for OSU from this coaching search/debacle. Had to rewatch that Citrus Bowl victory where those clowns fumbled it 500 times and we stopped them on the goal line.

The media will find any and every flaw with Leach to try and make the fan base look bad. They will find out that Doeren has a much better record in checkers than Leach and that Schiano only saw something and Leach actually beat the lil James til he was unconscious, drew genitalia on his face, excreted on his face and locked him in that shed himself while hitting on lil James’ girlfriend.

The media is petrified that a fan base has more authority in a coaching hire then they ever could. They know social media is a much better, faster and more accurate source of info than they ever could be and now social media gives people power they never could have. Yes there’s a lot of garbage on social media but it’s easy to vet the garbage from the truth and the media hates that now people can do that over just taking their word as the truth.

The media is going to HATE IT if we get Leach after going after the last 2 names the way we did on social media. Heck we could’ve gotten gruden and instead of saying that we took a stand and won, the story would be about how this is gonna ruin the sport and now fan bases are gonna cry until they get what they want and we’re just a bunch of spoiled brats acting like babies. They will make it sound bad that fan bases won’t be accepting any garbage a school feeds it and will do what it takes to get what they want and few they deserve. They will do this cause they know if it because the norm then these same fans will not stand for crap media coverage and will demand the truth and the full story and that will only lead to problems with sponsors and in the end lost revenue for them.

So who cares what they think or say, the people flexed their muscle and the people beat a corrupt school that thought they could shove whatever crap coach in front of us and we would support them and continue to buy tickets and merch unwaveringly. We refused to let the AD continue to raise prices while lowering expectations and business people everywhere hate the thought of that happening.

They've been ripping us to shreds for days. It's nothing new. If this goes down, I'll buy a bottle of rum to celebrate and laugh at every second of the butthurt. They say we're insane, and a rouge fanbase. I say embrace it.

The media hates any opinion that isn't theirs, funny thing is if we get Leach and start winning; they will lighten up considerably.

Personally, I love Leach but expect to be called a hypocrite by the media. Do I believe Craig James’ version of Leach locking his son in a shed? Nope, no I don’t. I think he sent him somewhere but didn’t lock him anywhere. He’s lucky he didn’t make him walk the plank. But, James being a media guy, you know how that goes. You know the stories will come as hearsay vs actual abuse (again, whatever James) but don’t let it ruin your sword swinging.

Personally I don’t give two rat ****s about what the National media says about Tennessee. And when we start winning and winning and winning some more, and game day wants to come around for Florida/Tennesse and Bama/Tennesse I plan on booing the set. I want 500 Vols out there with pirate flags booing them. We don’t need their approval. Never have.

I wanted Kiffin, but I just want someone to pump some excitement into this fan base. I think Leach is that guy x100. He's brilliant, and with talent could be elite.

Freak, you're not getting anything on the side for influence, right?

Doesn't matter. No one at VN should be on board with this hire as long Currie and Haslam are involved with it.

I like Leach, but Currie doesn't get to hire him. Plain and simple. He should have already been fired.

Agree with the theory, but Mike Leach is the one coach I can think of who could and would fight them privately and publicly to have control of his program, including $$$..

Schiano has all the means the in world to hire a high powered attorney to sue for Perjury and Slander. He hasn't done so because he doesn't want to open this back up for the whole world to dig into. Leach is not only suing his former employer for money he didn't receive during his wrongful firing he has also publicly fought this thing from the beginning. And if anyone tries to find comparison in the 2 situations is sick.

Who believes Craig James?

After all, I'm pretty sure that CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS. Nobody would lie about that, right? Who lies about CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS?
