Rumors: Reid Sigmon to interim AD

[austin_vol]

We can not let them put this dude in. He used to work for the Browns!!! This is 100% a Haslem pick.

 

[Volbrando]

worked for the Browns before the haslams era tho I believe - Hired by Currie tho

If Phil isn’t AD by 4pm he better be the new coach for a year or two with Tee and Steele and Tee HC in waiting

False.

This is the Haslam pick.

Bad news on Fulmer is a smokescreen by the Haslams to attempt to maintain their control.

Jimmy said that and he has been wrong all week! Remember brohm

And the one time he ends up being right, it will be this time. We cannot let this happen.

 

[njvols]

If this happens, I'm completely out. This means that other than being guilty of being a puppet, Currie wasn't the problem. Besides Schiano, he apparently had Brohm and Leach on the hook over the past 2-3 days...both of which would have been great, only to be nixed by Haslam. I don't mean anything to UTAD, but will free up my time, for sure.

Who the hell is this guy?

A smart thing to do would be to hire an experienced HC that would like to work for a few years preparing a talented OC or DC for the HC position. It is called succession planning in the business world, but in football it is a difficult formula. Some coaches can do it prior to retirement like for example Saban. Every leader should be preparing his organization for succession. It is what great leaders do.

So:

Phil Fulmer HC
Tee Martin OC (with plans to rise to HC position)

My gut instinct is that Fulmer would accept a very low salary, and the higher salary could be offered to OC and DC which is really where the money should go anyway in a rebuild like Tennessee is faced with in this debacle.

Reid is 10 Times the man that Currie is. If he becomes interim, I trust in him and his ability to make smart, sound decisions for the short term.

 

[gcf_VFL]

Currie is out for going rouge on Jimmy not poor performance. On deck, the next Haslam lapdog. The witch is very much alive.

 

[felloffthetrain]

Who the hell is this guy?

He was hired by Currie back in the Spring. Probably an assistant or something. Knowing how stupid our administration has been, this will be who they put in

That dog won't hunt.

 

[TNinSC]

So no Mike Leach? That's literally all i care about

 

[RIP]

@UTPresidentJoe No to Reid Sigmon
Fulmer, Blackburn or Davis to AD

Please share your wisdom concerning Sigmon.

How long have you known him and Currie to make such a statement?

Did you just move here from Kansas with him?

 

[Volunteer08]

We don't want Sigmon in. I don't care about his resume. He is connected to Haslam and that is enough for a stern 'No'.

Let's do this right.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Didnt Haslam and Sigmon clash when Haslam apparently wanted to hire Schiano to the Browns in '13? I think thats what led to Sigmon leaving then. Someone correct me if Im wrong, on phone dont feel like googling.
