*****Breaking; Brohm will be announced as UTs next coach [Hyams admits he jumped gun]

[Chad F]

So ... darn. This has bombed out, too.

All of the worst hires in the history of UT athletics have occurred within the last several years:

1. John Currie (as AD)
2. Mike Hamilton
3. Derek Dooley
4. Butch Jones
5. John Currie (previous stint in ath Dept)
6. Dave Hart

*Currie gets two spots because ... we’ll, he is just an absolute moron. The worst leader and executive that I’ve ever seen. I didn’t think we could get worse than Mike Hamilton, but we did the “hold my beer” thing.

Unbelievable.

 

[butchna]

Ummmm dude.

Not dead...per Brice

 

[TNinSC]

Not dead...per Brice

It's dead dude. Wouldn't have got the espn notification that the search has moved toward that whiney bum at nc state if the deal wasn't dead.

And that doesnt even include basketball -- H Warlick and Tyndall

Pretty bad source of info there

ESPN has never “broke news” proved false? Know that they have. Apparently not here tho since Brice confirmed it dead a moment ago.

One of you chumps start the Lane Kiffin thread. It's time. Do you want NC States coach or a great Xs and Os guys who will live to beat Bama.

Les couldn't make it work at a school with recruiting advantages that Tennessee only dreams of.

Why do you expect him to do more with less?

So what exactly are your expectations? Who do you suggest? I would consider Miles a win at this stage of the game! With that said, I've only been on the Les wagon since it's becoming painfully obvious that there is no end in sight to this $hit show that mr. Currie is currently conducting.

Please, someone, tell me why we are pursuing a 6-6 coach for his services. Is Currier the most ignorant man on this planet? And who in the hell hired him to be AD? And the same for Davenport. UT's future football legacy is in their hands. Someone with an above average IQ please break it down for me. I do not understand why what's happening is happening. It's like I'm having a nightmare. The decision making on their part is like being in the 3rd grade. Ok, I'm going to lower my IQ so Mr. John Currier will understand. What is TN's goal? Answer: Win Championships. I am going a little deeper John so stay with me. How will we accomplish this? Answer: By hiring the best coach money can buy. Someone who has a winning resume over several years and will bring that same mentality to our program. Ok, John, can we go a little deeper. Let's ask our selves can we accomplish our GOALS with the coaches you are interviewing or ones that you have on YOUR list. Answer, and it's really simple. NO! Those coaches that are 6-6, 7-5, 4-8. 8-4 are NOT what we NEED or DESIRE. What UT needs and desires must be on a different page that you are working on. You will have to live with the hire you make, and if they are NOT in the thick of winning the East 3-4 years it will come down to you and Davenport. This being said, we are not looking for the Pope here or a Preacher man, but one who can WIN. I don't care if he's well liked or can speak to the media in a way that's caring. Isn't it time you start making a few realistic calls to meet our NEEDS and DESIRES. Coaches like Mike Leach, Jimbo Fisher, Lane Kiffin, or Les Miles. Isn't it time you wake up from your coma and do your JOB. OK, I can not stay at this level of IQ any longer. I'm done with you.

Please tell me why your posting without research. He won 6 games in his first season. They had won that many in their previous 3 seasons combined.

You’ve got my support. Kiffin would enjoy tormenting Saban.

6-5-1

Saban's first four years at Michigan State. Then used a 9-2 year to get the LSU job. You get these guys while you can. Brohm's upside is tremendous.
