Here we are guys. This coaching search will determine our relevance for the next decade. I hope and pray that from the midst of this crap storm we somehow pull out a decent coach. It would be unbelievable, dang near unfathomable to think we would have to watch our proud program get run through the mud for several more years into the future. I know I am not stating anything that everyone is not thinking, but lets just keep hope alive that this ends well and that sinking feeling in our stomachs can go away. If it doesn't go away with this hire, it is going to be there for a long time. We are indeed standing on the edge of the precipice. We are going to get pushed off or pulled back and soon.

Teetering? Plant a tombstone at the 50 yard line. This coach hiring farce has killed the program. Dangle $42 mill at one coach and he turns it down. A less than mediocre ACC coach looks likely to stay at his job. I mean really, what more can be said than ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

At this point, I hope we keep getting turned down, over and over and over. The bigger mess this becomes, the better chance we have to remove the Haslam stank (along with their stooges like Currie) from our program.

I hope no one, including Tee, will take the job. We need this mess to grow to the point that we can get enough cry out and momentum to cut out the Haslam cancer from UT.

Or Nebraska. The Tom Osborn teams were some of the best I've ever seen. They absolutely undressed an excellent Florida team in a bowl game. Florida quit in the third quarter.

It's all about the hire. In spite of himself, Currie hasn't hired the wrong guy . . . yet. Will he? It sure looks like he may, but he may also somehow get convinced to hire a winning coach. If he does, We'll bounce back just like Penn State did. If not, it'll be another long dry spell.

Butch Jones killed the program. Just the sheep, eerrr I mean fans, were too blind to see it.

No that honor goes to three foolish ADs hired after Doug Dickey retired. Their decisions were the ones that put bad coaches in place, and the third one is in the midst of more AD malpractice right now ... although he's so incompetent he may fail before he flops.

Butch should have been fired after the 2013 season.

Anyone who wants this fiasco and national embarrassment to continue is not a true UT fan, at least not a rational one. Thinking like this among our fans is equally bad as the Haslams for the future of our program. I guess recruiting and the early signing period never crossed your mind. Good grief.

Agree completely. Something started going wrong around the time that Doug Dickey retired, and this apparently even extended above the level of AD. The commitment to maintaining the winning tradition faded.

Note that Alabama went through a time like this before Saban was hired. They even had an HC that was hired and then fired for morals charges before coaching his first game.

Nope! This poor fan base is trying to save Tennessee football in the face of massive incompetence from the administration and a booster family with far too much control. Since this goat rodeo has reached this point, it could help make visible what the real problems are at UT. If we settle back and keep cheering mediocrity, nothing will change. Why, maybe we can win an SEC game one of these years.

Here's the latest. Currie had Mike Leach ready to sign today, but the administration was slow playing everything and refused to sign off on it (again). Currie has been summoned back to Knoxville, and if you read between lines, will be relieved of his duties this evening. Look for Fulmer to be put in that position. The incompetence continues.

It's beyond belief what's going on within the administration, UTAD, and the boosters.
