Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVI

[LA Vol]

Holy Mother, students and alums have signs and are protesting on campus. UT should just change its name to UTMZ.

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

Ron, it's over. We have hired Schiano. The Tennessee AD does not care about us, the players, or the football program. Tennessee football is dead.

Currie lied to us from the beginning

 

[Jimmy Football]

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

Hopefully they won't.

 

[scvolfan7]

Sick to my stomach. Can not believe this is how this happened. Peyton Manning, Fulmer, the boosters, and state reps need to be making calls to get Currie’s ass out of Knoxville tonight. This is disgraceful. I’ll always love UT but I will not be watching or following with the same level of passion as I have previously. I hoped that Dooley and butch were the worst things could get but this is the newest low us vol fans have to be subjected to. I hope there are protests on campus about this. We are hiring a man that knew or had suspicions that children were being raped and that did nothing. I refuse to cheer for something as disgusting as that. Eff John Currie

 

[Volwark]

Serenity of knowledge, my friends.

The day Volnation died.

 

[Ace]

If we hire Schiano, I'm out. I've always liked Oregon since we played them a few years ago.

I wish we would hire Oregon’s staff

 

[snowvols]

Schiano will never be accepted even if he is somewhat successful. The die is cast.

 

[InVOLuntary]

So SchiaNO is Haslam’s guy??

That's what the poster is saying.

 

[itsme]

I never want to see Jon Gruden in Orange again. I want him to shut his mouth and never mention Tennessee again. I want John Currie fires for even approaching Greg Schiano. Bring me Will Healy or Mike Houston.

 

[JacketVol]

If he's cleared of any wrongdoing with the PSU stuff is the only way I can even watch another football game.

So with that being said, what kind of assistants do we think he'd surround himself with?

don't care

 

[LaagerVol]

What a nightmare

2017 Coaching Search In Review:

Mullen - Meh
Malzahn- Peaked
Jimbo- best behind him
Campbell/norvell - butch 2.0
Sumlin- Hell no
Cutcliffe- maybe 5 years ago
Fleck- Row boat off cliff

Result: Schiano 🤦🏻*♂️🤦🏻*♂️🤦🏻*♂️

 

[Ace]

If we hire Schiano, I'm out. I've always liked Oregon since we played them a few years ago.

I wish we would hire Oregon’s HC and staff

 

[mrMet]

**** this ****. **** Currie. **** Haslam. **** Hamilton. **** Cheek. **** Davenport. **** DiPietro. **** every person in that administration

 

[Specs]

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

Its malpractice to even be floating this

 

[jordan4vols]

Venables, Sumlin, Tee, Kiffin, Etc etc etc. The list goes on. Anybody else would be fine

 

[volsnvikes]

I agree with inVoluntary. If this does get stopped we should all get behind whatever coach they trot out for us.

As long as they have never been accused of witnessing sexual abuse of a minor and ignoring it.

Yep. That’s our bar now.

 

[highspeed]

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!"?

If so, mission accomplished. ATP, I would take Brohm, Norvell, Satterfield, Martin, whoever...

 

[MetalVolunteer]

Did state representatives say something about this hire?

 

[BruinVol]

Reminds me of when Chizek was hired

 

[MrVolton]

Burn it down. I'll not go near the place until different people are making the decisions.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

It 100% is hearsay. Read the sworn testimony.

Oh, this'll be a popular pitch in a recruit's living room.

"I'm so glad you asked, Mrs. Johnson. I have here this sworn testimony which demonstrates that these allegations were based wholly on hearsay."

 

[LA Vol]

I believe Schiano was Currie's idea. But I do believe Haslam could have been against paying Campbell's buyout.

 

[i2amavol]

I believe you have to trust your AD when it comes to selecting a coach. By this, I am talking about the new coach's ability to assemble a staff, recruit, coach up, and field a winning football team.

If it were not for this Penn State stuff, I would probably be pushing back at people protesting. I would be saying, "Give him a chance." Maybe Currie sees something that we don't. However, with the perception - and perhaps reality - that Schiano may have been complicit, I just fail to understand the reasoning here.

I just can't see this happening, and I hope we haven't waited too late on other targets. I am assuming we have already waited too late on Mullen.
