Timeline from Currie (per recruit)

We try to get a coach after the season ends? Wow, that's shocking. Where are the mopes who said we had to fire Butch weeks ago or we'd be behind everyone else...especially UF.

still trying to get the lighter to light so they can burn their tickets, while holding a cell phone so they can facebook live it to John Currie....it's harder than you think.

It would be cool if next week Gruden came out on MMF wearing an all orange suite.....and had Currie with them, and that was how they did the announcement.

i doubt it's that short, and i feel confident that the overtures thrown in Gruden's direction are true. how reciprocated they are...that's another story. and i'm sure there's at least been some vetting on Chip Kelly.

I would say Currie has a list that includes no less than 5-7 names. Who are his top ones? Nobody knows.

well, given that the first name to come up is the DC for the NYJ, i'd say he's got quite a list. of course, is that guy really a candidate? could he be a reference? could he be a potential staff member? who knows.

i have no idea who's on his list, but i'd imagine there's been one, and they've been working on it in some way shape or form for at least a month. and it probably has a lot of the names on it that have been discussed here, and apparently as today's news confirms, probably a few that haven't.

while the jets DC isn't going to turn a lot of heads in the fanbase, i at least like the fact that you're willing to go in to the NFL and find out. there's also a part of me that thinks "why would they talk to that guy?"......"they must have been doing their homework" is the only answer i can come up with.

so we'll see. but judging from Martinez's interview, we may not have to wait too long....maybe an early Christmas present.........one certainly hopes anyway.

Kiffin is the Bad Boy of Football. But he would make it exciting.

It's funny though. Kiffin is offered the HC job at USC, his alma mater, takes it .. and he has no integrity.

Currie is offered the AD job at UT, his alma mater, and takes it ... and he has integrity.

All depends on how you look at it.

USC is not LK's alma mater; he went to Fresno St. if I'm not mistaken.

Why would Gruden be top target? He hasn't coached in years and openly said he wanted an NFL gig and even the NFL doesn't take him seriously as a coach. He was fired after all.

Frost would be a great pick, but I think he's headed to FLA. Mullen isn't going anywhere. He makes the same money in Starkville without the pressure.

UT needs an offensive-minded coach, one who knows the SEC, can recruit and develop talent and compete.

Of all the coaches out there, the one that fits UT best is ... Lane Kiffin.

You should be banned for trolling your own user name...

Personally I think there should be an NCAA rule in place that says coaches can't do this. To bail on your team just prior to playing in what is supposed to be the reward for a hard fought season I think that is a HUGE disservice to those kids! Coaches should be made to stay with their current team until their season is truly over.

The only bowl game that really means anything is the NCG. :hi:

I think Curries list is;

1. Frost
2. Mullen

Don't be surprised if this is CURRIE'S TOP TEN LIST:
1). Tony Petersen
2). Taver Johnson
3). Doug Ruse
4). Doug Meacham
5). Lee Owens
6). Garrick McGee
7). Mike Riley
8). Jim McElwain
9). Butch Davis
10). Tony Franklin

My top ten would include Patterson, Frost, Mullen, Campbell, Norvell, Rodriquez, Brohm, Whittingham, Strong, and Taggart - not necessarily in that order. GBO...

Currie's TOP TEN list of candidates probably looks like this, but before you lock and load, remember... his mentor was the great and infamous Mike Hamilton: THE List

1). Tony Petersen
2). Taver Johnson
3). Doug Ruse
4). Doug Meacham
5). Lee Owens
6). Garrick McGee
7). Mike Riley
8). Jim McElwain
9). Butch Davis
10). Tony Franklin

Why those guys? He can get them for a pittance at Dollar Coach Tree, Family Coach Dollar Store, or off the clearance rack at CoachMart. However, if he is willing to pay the prices at "Coaches - Fifth Avenue" he may pick up one of the guys from the following list: Patterson, Frost, Mullen, Campbell, Norvell, Rodriquez, Brohm, Whittingham, Strong, and Taggart - The question is, is Currie willing to pay the "Coaches-Fifth Avenue" price... or is he simply going to chintz away ala the way of Hamilton and Hart, and go with the "Blue Light Special" at Coach Mart? Hmmm... GBO anyway...

Why probably? Do you have an inside source like everyone else?

Why is Rodriguez in anyone's top coaches section? His record is worse than Butch Jones's as a head coach. He's 118-80 (.596 win%) and Butch is 84-54 (.609 win%).

Biggest Google/garbage list I've ever seen.

I'll play the Top Ten prediction game:

The prom queens - nothing lose by asking:

1) Gruden
2) Mullen
3) Frost

Who actually might wear the corsage:

4) Chad Morris
5) Mike Norvell
6) Dave Doeren
7) Greg Schiano
8) Jeff Brohm

VFLs who will get a call:

9) Tee Martin
10) Kacey Rodgers

If things get desperate, Mike Bobo will be in there at 8a.

Any of those middle 5 might be great.
