Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVI

[highspeed]

If this hire goes through, get ready for a PR campaign designed to convince us that Schiano is a stand-up guy. I would anticipate lots of quotes from former players and fellow coaches about his impeccable character. Unless of course the administration is too tone deaf to even give a damn that people are put off by this hire.

 

[OnTheWayBack]

I've resorted to drinking heavily.

 

[HankHill]

Why the hell do you not go after Kevin Sumlin over Schiano?

 

[Chief Vol 13]

I'm not convinced it's a done deal

 

[unioncityvol]

LA, anyone that knows the hiring process, is there anyway this can get rejected at the bot level or boosters?

Volnation is mobilizing. The state reps and former players as well to deliver a united front.

We can stop this.

 

[volfanCLT]

Not gonna believe it until I see it.

The backlash is already insurmountable just at the rumors of it. People in Tennessee state government are tweeting it will have a negative impact on the university and state as a whole. Cannot happen.

 

[BruinVol]

...

11 wins
44 losses


The 5 years before he got there.

.200 winning %

 

[chavisut]

I'm legit done.

Will not support this.

 

[IhateGA]

These are the same people who run the Browns, so it's not really surprising.

 

[snowvols]

Guess we know 99% of the so called insiders don't know jack****, and no that 11th hour bull**** is not a reason to be forgiven

None of it was ever real and it wasn't in 2012. I'm not sure why people fell for it again.

Currie notching this hire was a separate issue.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I can name 20 coaches that would come here that I'd rather have than this pos.

 

[volinbama256]

so currie knew this yesterday or day before if he told the event staff to be ready after the game. What a useless piece of garbage if true.

 

[highspeed]

I'm not convinced it's a done deal

The Hubbs quote about people not signing off on the hire does give me some hope that we ultimately go in a different direction. Not looking good right now though.

 

[wuwh_08]

The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the hiring of Schiano. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. Key phrase is “they are not stops on a timeline”. The only thing that will get us past Anger is WINNING.

 

[Catbone]

WHY is Schiano even an option after our IX debacle? THE NEGATIVE PR WILL BE INCREDIBLE.

WHY is Schiano an option when Peyton hates him?

WHY is Schiano an option when it's been widely reported he is an *******?

WHY is Schiano an option when his own players said they don't like him?

WHY is Schiano an option when he's disliked by the fan base?

WHY was Currie at the beach all week?

WHY was Currie not hiring a search firm?

WHY did Currie not come out and say Gruden was not a possibility?

WHY would Currie not hire Kiffin back, he's less of a creep than Schiano

WHY do we get Schiano when we are the MOST profitable football program in the NCAA?

WHY do we throw 330 million at stadium renovations, yet hire Schiano?

WHO will play for this creep, imagine the negative recruiting!

CAN Tennessee recover from this disaster? Boosters and businesses and fans will NOT put up with this.

 

[Volwark]

How's Mullen looking now? 😂

Gonna be even worse when Florida is consistently a top 15/10 team

I don't think Mullen was an option. He essentially chose Florida

 

[volsnvikes]

My middle school son asked for nothing but UT apparel for Christmas. I was so excited he is loving the gold even though we stink right now. I was looking forward to being able to share the next few years with him as we rise up.

Today I just explained that the coach we are about to hire has been accused of witnessing Sandusky abusing a child and he did nothing.

Losing is one thing. We always have next year and past glory. But moral integrity is something you don’t get back.

How can we ever trust that this clown isn’t a completely terrible person.

 

[StoVol]

Currie is seriously about to get his ass beat, has absolutely no understanding of what it means to be a Tennessean, we dont condone that kind of shat

 

[unioncityvol]

Seriously block the hire and fire Currie now. Fulmer AD now

 

[Jimdog's Revenge]

Currie may find out about what Mcelwain made up

 

[snowvols]

Jaycee Horn decommitted. First of many.

They can shove that pr campaign right up their backside. I don't think they understand the backlash that's getting ready to come their way. This is beyond the stupidest thing I've ever seen. This literally can't be happening.

 

[amazingGRACE]

Y'all can call & email all you want it's not gonna change anything. We're screwed.
