SIAP. Rob Lewis said Currie will fly to the Bahamas at some point tomorrow and be back Thursday. So not exactly a week vacation.

I think the insinuation from VQ wasn't that they were trying to get them to flip to MS St, it was they were telling the commits they were reaching out to them because they may be their next coach. That is how I read it anyway. The commits were not named so they wouldn't be hounded about it.

Do you have the exact quote from VQ? Id like to see how they phrased it.

I don’t doubt the coaches reached out, I just doubt the reasoning that VQ gave. Sounds like an assumption when really it could have meant a couple different things.

On a related note, multiple recruits that are or have been committed to Tennessee have heard from the staffs at Memphis and Mississippi State over the last week. The recruits we have spoken to have wanted to keep their name out of the limelight pertaining to the contact, but they were led to believe that both Mullen and Mike Norvell were in play to possibly land in Knoxville and wanted to begin forming a relationship just in case. It’s not surprising but certainly interesting with very little time until the early signing period (Dec. 20-22).

That is false. National media has said recently they beleive Jimbo wants out. His name is heavily rumored in the A&M job and a few different national media outlets have backed that up as a real possibility. So not just reports on here.

I really just wish at this point someone from his camp or someone from our side would come out and say "He's not coming, not happening" - the silence is deafening

Could be exactly what they are doing. Or they could be laying ground work to get them to flip. Seems speculative. Also seems strange that Memphis would be calling to form a relationship when some had said that Norvells name has dropped down our list. Who knows though, could be exactly like VQ seems.

I look forward to when the coaching search finishes and we hopefully have a good coach. Like many others have said, UT and their previous poor coaching hires have placed the fanbase near the precipice and people could tune out for good if the administration seems to muff this hire as well. It seems that those in power are willing to fork up the finances to get someone good, so please do. If I had my way, I'd go:

1) Gruden (We shall see, won't we)
2) Patterson (I wish we had hired him in 2008)
3) Frost (I hope he turns out to be good if we hire him, up and comer)
4) Mullen (Yeah, he could probably be successful here)

I really only have gone that far with my list. Sure, I'd love a Chris Petersen, but I don't think he's leaving the West Coast. I can't say I'd get too excited for Brohm or Norvell, and I'm leary of a Petrino or Chip Kelly. I'd maybe go for Fuente, but why would he leave Va. Tech?

Just please make the right hire, administration. DON'T screw it up again. Plus, beat Vandy so we can avoid an 8 loss season. Go Vols!

If you honestly believe that you're a bigger fool than I thought. (And you were on simple Jack levels to me)

no I don't believe it... I don't believe all this mullen reaching out to recruits crud either. I am hoping like we all are that Currie is working hard to hit all the top guys and land one...

But hey, thanks for the combative "fool" and "Jack" comment-- Oh no, I was really on "Jack levels" with you? Man, since you are the end all be all on here I guess that should mean something to me! wait. NV.
