I spoke with one of my two contacts after the Schiano nonsense broke. This person is still in on Gruden, and had warned me that info from AD would be misdirection, but was absolutely furious that Schiano's name was used for this purpose. It was out of left field for my person, and the response to Schiano has been almost universally negative, internally.

What I think (OPINION) happened goes something like this. Someone decided that in an effort to make Currie's last minute reveal of Gruden a superheroic "Currie saved us" moment, that Schiano would be a good name to use for that purpose. Horrible decision. His name has no business anywhere near this University. Even the inevitable backtracking makes us look bad: "Schiano decides he doesn't want to coach for us because of our fans."

Horribly conceived and executed misdirect, IMO. Whoever came up with it should be ashamed. And the people making the decisions need to seriously stop worrying about John Currie's image and get on with business.

My problem with your supposition is the fact that John Currie is physically in Columbus, OH as I type this sentence.

I always liked Herbstreit, but that annoys me about bringing up record like that means we are not worthy of expecting top hire. I give record... top 10 in wins.
I know he just say it because Ihio state link but still

This is terrible. Literally one of the worst names brought up. No way this gets done. Hell bring back Phil as interim. Unbelievable

If this is true, then why hasn’t Tennessee announced that this isn’t true and told the fan base to hold of on burning the campus to the ground?

I don’t think Schiano signs the deal. This is wild. People inside PR Department are freaking out. #Tennessee

I am not sure if it was agents or the AD. This was never going to happen. I am sticking to my guns. I'll go down with it too.

It means squat but as a former Memphian, I got your back along with a number of others that wish to stand pat. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little speechless but when I back away I refer back to JC's words....paraphrase "Don't believe it till I say it" !

To those who are posting some good words and keeping hope alive, I appreciate your posts and someday when the server isn't so strained I'll backtrack and give a lot of likes. Soon.

I actually was about to post this. What if boosters want Currie gone. Gruden is going to come but keeps saying no to Currie. Boosters suggest Schiano. Currie goes after him. VolNation revolts. Currie fired. Blackburn hired and “convinces” Gruden to come. Ultimate backwards troll job on AD by boosters, PM, and Fulmer.

Why any misdirection at all at this point? Doesn’t make any sense.
