I think Patterson, Petersen, Fisher, Fuente, Gundy, Whittingham and Shaw are probably happy where they are, so Mullen looks to be the best P5 HC realistically available. Can't see us considering Petrino or Leach.
Everyone is looking to blame all the others: Haslam, Davenport, the AA. I don't think you have to look any further than the guy tasked with making the hire.
No excuses, if we get a crappy coach, it's John Currie's fault. No one is standing in his way.
So IF we hired that coach and we won a championship, would you come on here and eat a giant helping of crow? No one can know what will happen to the team based on a hire.
I didn't say that Currie said the goal was no longer winning championships; I just said that it seemed like he had softened his stance. He took an aggressive stance back in the summer, saying that UT football wasn't winning enough and we expect to always win championships at UT. Today, he said that we need to look at it a game at a time and think about championships at the end of the season. He also talked about winning championships in the future like we have in the past. His take felt different to me, so I posted it.
No need to spin it to be something darker or more dire than what it was.
