This isn't a damn smokescreen as much as I would like it to be. This is who Currie actually wants to hire because he is evidently stupid, wants to burn down UT, or everyone else said no. If it was a smokescreen you put out the fire before it gets to this level. As if we weren't rock bottom enough last night. I feel sick😡

Phil Fulmer and Peyton Manning where are ya'll to stand up for this University? Or are you into Haslem's pocket? Both of you are suppose to be leaders for this university. I will never buy another one of your damn pizzas again.

I'm literally exhausted. It should'nt be this ****ing hard to get a decent coach at UT. If Gruden doesn't come ok. Hire

Miles
Mullen
Frost
Norvell
Kiffen

a host of other care takers at the least over a man who stood by and watched kids get sexually assaulted and did nothing. What a damn disgrace

This goes way beyond same old stuff. I lie down to take a nap and wake up to this kind of nightmare?

Someone please tell me this is just a rumor getting out of hand. Gruden or not, there is no way this is happening.

No matter what outcome may come, there needs to be a "reckoning" on this blight of a chitshow

Several sources including ESPN said shiano deal was close to being done. Fans going crazy as they should be. To the blind it’s all still a “ smokescreen”. Bottom line Currie is a turd

Let this be a lesson to Currie that the fans run the show, we fill the stadiums, we buy the merchandise and we love the players. If this deal was in fact real and we broke it apart I'm damn proud of my fellow fans.

I too was planning on being let down by our hire. I knew we would never get excited over the quality of coach we could truly land. BUT.....never expected to have the news of this hire thrown on us. Sorry but I and most of us IMO can't get behind this man or Currie now.

Former member of UT board of trustees unhappy with Schiano hiring: "In the current environment you couldn't have done anything worse than perceived to have known about Jerry Sandusky (and said nothing). You (UT) can't take that chance. I'm speechless. Unbelievable. "

Talking to someone at Ohio State, Greg Schiano was hired before testimony from former Penn State assistant Mike McQueary that was unsealed saying that Greg Schiano knew of Sandusky's abuse. Says that Tennessee should do proper vetting.

Greg Schiano had solid success at Rutgers. He also allegedly knew of Jerry Sandusky's sexual abuse at Penn State. Things to know about the potential Vols hire: knoxne.ws/2Be3ztw

68-67 is solid success?

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.

This is not a smoke screen. If it really were Currie would have already have shut that down based on the fan base reaction

Maybe we do over value the Tennessee coaching job? Have all these coaches turned us down? Why can’t we just get a coach worth his salt? Is the job so bad that we have to hire a retread whom was never that good to begin with? I’ve been a fan for 37 years and we’ve fallen farther than I would’ve ever imagined. We have a deep rooted problem that we’ll likely never recover from. Driven our once proud football program to depths unfathomed.

I think what we are seeing unfold today is one reason good coaches don't want to come here. It's been a 3 ring circus for years.
