With the AD to be with the Basketball team this week at the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas. Could TN already have a deal in the works with a Football Coach.
This morning I heard that the AD would be at the event. A caller on the Swain Event was talking to Swain about it.
Swain, was saying that the AD was asking the 97 team and other former players at this week's game what they wanted in a coach.
IT was brought up, could he already have his GUY.
Swain, said he would start to question THE AD if we did not have a coach by 11/29/2017 due to the TN football awards in Nashville.
While yes, this hire is the #1 priority, it is not the only priority of a guy in charge of a full athletic department. And the Ainge show has said that Currie's family is going down for a week, while Currie himself is going down Thursday for Thanksgiving.
I took this post to the Bank of Tennessee on Mountcastle Drive in Johnson City.
I got the weirdest looks. :blink:

Thanks and I've posted this like 5 times today. AD Currie should not be on a trip with the lowly B Ball team when the cash cow Football program has no coach and our competition is also searching for the same guys. He could send the assistant or some other smuck down there. If he is on the trip then our guy is locked or Currie should be left in the Bahamas and Fulmer take over as new AD.
:loco
Soon!
Dont believe it. Since this search started, people have been saying a booster said this and a person connected said that. Its all BS. Nobody has a clue who Currie will hire. I hope its Patterson. I have lost almost all faith in Gruden coming. So give me Patterson. If not him, then reach out to Dantonio, Miles or Frost.
1. Hes not buying a set of used tires off of Craigslist.
2. Multiple million dollar negotiations take time and do NOT require either party to be sitting in their offices 24/7 waiting for the ph to ring. They might even have Cell phs and hotel wi-fi just in case.....
3. It is T-Giving week and Currie should not be expected to fail as a father and husband to satisfy expectations of Jethro Nation because they cant act like adults and comprehend that many things in life require patience.
4. Its also T-giving for the rest of the country including coaches and their agents. They too might appreciate some time with family OR be preparing to coach a game in a day or two.
5. Currie is responsible for ALL UT sports. You might not give a $hit about BB but he is paid to.
How is any of the above that damn hard to understand? There have been too many similar posts to write this off as an anomaly or maybe Vnation is just a bit special.
This is how much of the business world operates including hiring football coaches. Id rather get the right guy than the right now guy.
