Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVI

[DD4ME]

Booger McFarland throwing shade. No I will not post it.

I am nauseous. He might be a good coach but this is just bad and completely tone deaf.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

There are literally 50 better hires that could be made.

 

[BruinVol]

I'm not worried about the coaching side of it, I think he is a good fit for that. I just can't even think about supporting a man that turned a blind-eye to child abuse. And this is not just hearsay, this is sworn testimony. **** this administration

It 100% is hearsay. Read the sworn testimony.

 

[I4Jay]

Currie was arrogant, aloof, and tone deaf at KSU.

Currie was arrogant, aloof, and tone deaf in his firing of Butch.

Currie has been arrogant, aloof, and tone deaf in this coaching search.

he hasn’t done a single thing right.
Job one should have been firing Butch as soon as he got the AD job. Then he let him linger as HC past the UGA drumming. Currie should be relieved of his duties by Monday evening

 

[Jimmy Football]

With TN being in the Bible Belt, this will not go well for UT. It could be a Program killer, kinda like SMU.

Self-imposed Death Penalty. Only Tennessee.

 

[LaagerVol]

What happened to all the big time coaches who were calling us, beating out door down wanting the job??

If this ends up being true I have no choice but to be done with anything UT. Sickening

At least I don’t have to plan my weekends around it anymore.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Sumlin and Miles would both take the job without question. Hell, I'd take Bielema at this point.

 

[JCP201]

My husband just echoed what Ron said-- Won't believe this brain dead crap until he's standing at the Podium.

 

[volatil]

Something has to be up. Nothing confirmed yet.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Grasping at straws here but could this be a scenario where Currie could not get any big name so he floats Schiano out so people will say "shew, at least it's not Schiano!"?

I would kill for Les

Maybe he didn't know. We will never know, but many did, and one guy that actually did some thing about it believes he did.

 

[Vols4us]

If true, until the House of Haslam as Basilio called it, is no longer actively involved in UT this is the type of stuff you can expect. In a normal environment Currie, DePietro and crazy Bev would never have been hired. But they help pay for nice buildings. What were they thinking with the Anderson Training facility? What a waste of money that was.

Being tone deaf to a devoted and beleaguered fan base is cruel, hypocritical, and financially stupid. There is no win-win here. Most of us will never support the program because of Schiano leading it regardless of team success - which will not happen as well.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Like I said last night, just when you think things can get worse with Tennessee football, they inevitably get worse. Fire every single person in that administration. We need orange blood back in there. Will be the only way to get us out of this. Had Blackburn, had Fulmer, and we let Jim Haslam crap all over those two in order to get someone in there that he can control.

 

[LaagerVol]

Poster on TOS saying this is a battle between Haslam and Currie. Currie floated this out hoping for this backlash that's occuring. It seems to be working as many have voiced their displeasure, including higher ups. This may not get done.

So SchiaNO is Haslam’s guy??

 

[Jimmy Football]

Maybe. But it's an awful idea. Has already done damage to the brand.

How can they make this hire with all the negative pub coming with it?

 

[Ron Swanson]

Sounds like the deal is pretty much done. Formal release on it come be coming later today.

- Hubbs

If he's at the podium, I'm out too fellas.

 

[rocktopper16]

Its going to be like the baseball hire isn't it.

 

[amazingGRACE]

We couldn't get any big name so we're actually gonna hire Schiano.

 

[volfanCLT]

Wanted the Browns to hire him a few years back is the rumor

 

[SpringBokVol]

No way this is true. Can’t be that dumb.

Too many other options that want to be here and make more sense.

 

[MetalVolunteer]

Well I've lost faith in Currie. Thing about it is, let's say the hire somehow gets blocked, what's he gonna do now? Talk about scramble mode. All this time I've had a quiet confidence about Currie. Loved how he's handled this search up until now.

Agreed. I'm beginning to think this is all smoke. The sheer amount of blow back is staggering!!!

 

[unioncityvol]

I will drive to Boca Raton right now and road trip Kiffins azz back to the hill if anyone listening can stop Schiano from being hired.
