Am told #Tennessee AD John Currie's intrigued with Mike Leach but the WAZZU coach having sued his old employer is a tough one for him & the #Vols to get past.


Lol but Schianos baggage was ok?

 

[jakez4ut]

lol...that's funny.

 

[UTK]

Lol that’s dumb. Go get Leach now!

:unsure:..........Currie and Davenport need to go...thats just the way it is. Fulmer or Blackburn (or both)get in there and lets do this.

When everyone starts to realize how much of an egomaniac Currie is, it'll all start making much more sense.

I think we understand that now

What's Leach's baggage? Putting a player in a dark equipment shed during practice bc he had concussion symptoms? The son of the old SMU running back that is now an analyst I think

 

[kotheb]

This is finally the "leak to see how the fan base feels about a guy" stuff we've been hearing about. Finally trying to be real and gauge our interest in a guy before offering him. Even smart enough this time to include what said baggage is.

Doubt he actually does anything about it. But had they done this with Schiano in the first place, Sunday never happens.

 

[deezvols]

I'm on the verge of saying "bye" with UT football until Currie, Haslam, and possibly Davenport are long gone. Not sure we'll ever be good again (much less great) with any of their influence.

 

[Aegon Volsgaryen]

Bring in the Pirate. It's sadly gotten to this point.

 

[VolNavy01]

Currie is worried about that? Awesome. Leach is OK for one of the most respected AD’s in the business, but the guy who trots out Greg Schiano is hesitant. I doubt he even knows who Leach is.

 

[austin_vol]

this one statement alone proves that complete incompetence off Currie.....bc he sued for the money he was owed?! Come on....now they are just looking for excuses to not hire people

 

[CPVOL]

Just a thought I've been having over and over and you may have already considered.
But stop for a moment and look at the people running the University. These are people with PhD's, Master Degrees, Pedigrees, and make hundreds of thousands of dollars to manage these type's of situations. And they fail miserably at it....so much so that it's almost like that had to set out to say as if, "we're gonna run this mother in the freaking dirt come hell of high water". The Pillars of Our Society......with no more common sense or leadership ability than the person with a high school diploma making $15/hr.
I'd bet my mortgage that you could find 5-8 intelligent High School Seniors that could've managed this whole situation better, and UT would've had their guy by now.

How is Currie still employed?

That was all debunked and I’m guessing Craig James is unhirable now

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I actually like Leach.

Good sense of humor and gets the most out of his players.

Currie would be an idiot to not go after him.

Exactly! Get orange blood into the AD

 

[jaybird_1981]

Currie is a disease.

 

[CoachClick]

Would be an idiot? Lol I think we are past that at this point.

 

[TruVolFann]

Currie is afraid to go after Mike Leach
due to a lawsuit he filed against his previous employers.
Good Lord this is a circus
I thought Leach just wanted the $$$ he was owed from Texas Tech?
If so that should only be a concern if you plan on not paying the coach.

Why leak this if you plan at all to try?

 

[UTK]

Right. He does well with very meh recruiting classes. Hard to recruit to TTU and WSU. Would love to see what he’d do with top 15 talent at the very least.

 

[Rynovol]

The better coach in the state of Washington is Chris Petersen, but Currie is apparently so freaking stupid that he hasn't tried to gauge his interest at all.

Would he come here for $8 million? Sadly, we'll never know.

Currie won't do it, prepare yourself for a no name pop up and we will be back in this same boat 3 years from now. Tennessee loves making the unemployed rich

 

[Arclight]

The Haslams run UT. Currie is a Haslam lackey. No coaches want to work for Currie--the Judas of UT Sports.

Tennessee football podcast: What's next in Vols' coaching search, fast becoming debacle

The list: Chad morris, Jeff brohm, dave dorean, Kevin Steele...

Not on the list: kiffin, Martin, miles. Norvell


I'd seriously take schiano over morris and Steele.

This has become unreal...
