I have received a vision of things to come. I will retell it faithfully to the Volnation masses, these are the signs which are to come.
1. This is the end for Butch. Currie has decided. However, he will not fire him until after the Mizzou game, believing Butch gives this team the best chance to make a bowl game.
2. In spite of this, the Vols will lose every remaining game, except for Southern Miss. Tennessee will be down to walk-on's for back up on the OL, and Will McBride will be forced to start... actually looking better than any other Vol QB. For the first time in school history, we will be 4-8, winless in the SEC and a terrible Vandy team will storm the gates of Neyland, scoring 42, as they attempt to drive a flag through the heart of the Power T.
3. It is Greg Schiano. It has always been Greg Schiano, and that is who Currie is going with... but he's going to wait another 56 days to do it. Schiano will also continue to coach at OSU for another 35 days after the announcement for the bowl game, leaving the early signing period class in ruins.
4. Those of the cult of Gruden will lead the faithful astray. Like a dog returns to it's vomit, so do the Grudenites return to their trolls. With misleading words, will they deceive them. Like the fool to the harlot, they will be drawn in to their own shame. There will be staffs, and rumors of staffs, but don't believe them. We have seen this before
5. Names will be floated without merit... Harbaugh, Frost, Mullen, Marrone. The faithful will be lead to believe that names such as Patterson and Mullen are in the back pocket, if we should fall to such depths. Do not be deceived. It is Schiano, and it has always been Schiano. UT Admin will actually float these names, and even Chris Petersen to deceive the masses, thinking themselves wise in their own eyes.
6. Tennessee fans will debate the merits of Frost vs. Mullen, believing that things will likely not fall that far. Little will they know, that things would never climb that high.
7. Currie will fly to Columbus to hire Schiano when the time of iniquity is fulfilled. In spite of furious protest from his own AD, hellbent on destruction, he goes, knowing not what he is about to do.
8. But I have a remnant... prophets in orange who have not bowed the knee to Haslam. They will leak word of this abomination, and the valley of dry Vol fan bones will rise up into a mighty army and dispel the darkness.
9. However, the damage is done. As other programs fired and hired within 24-72 hours, Tennessee will still be searching... 60 days from when that decision was made, as coach after coach goes off the table, and others turn in fear from the ineptitude of the AD and passion of the fanbase, you will be forced to choose from your Tier 3, or even worse.
10. These are the things which are to come.
