If we hire Kiffin I might simulataneously go Bruin and Gucci.

We are so dumb. I am sorry but I truly feel we somehow how have some effed up complex of losing engrained.

Kiffin has done nothing but be an ass.

It amazing how our fans embarrass themselsves with the Kiffin love. I'd be 100% out for good if they hired Kiffin. I'd rather have Bobo, seriously.

How about a bunch of you pre Madonna, Moran’s go out and protest pilot stores in Knoxville?

Nothing makes the news these days like a protest.

To make sure everyone is understanding how dumb this is....

He has a $900k salary. Incentives to make up to $1.2m

His buyout is $1.2m per year for the full term.

If he works his tail off for the next 4.5 years and does great he MIGHT make $5m over that time.

If we fire him today he makes $6m guaranteed and doesn’t have to lift a finger.

No wonder he's so bad at his job. He's doing it on purpuse, hoping to get fired. Makes sense. Well played, Currie. I hate you.

PSA to everyone on this board. It is spelled MORON not "moran". It's an epidemic that needs to end. If we're going to insult ones intelligence, we need to do it correctly!

Moron is used for someone who is a dimwit

Moran is a VN colloquialism used as a term of endearment for a fellow poster.

Please try to keep up. You are acting like a moron when you should aspire to be a Moran. :)

Curries contract - WTF.

That is irresponsible.

I could very well be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if the buy-out language in Currie's contract is typical to the industry as a whole.

I don't like it any more than the rest of you, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this is the case.

Ok, to me it's simple. When the loss of revenue surpasses what the Haslams give then it's time to kick them to the curb. You may think that's a lot of money but it's really not in the grand scheme of thing.

I'm pulling numbers out of my backside but a loss of 20k season ticket holders could result in a loss of $40mil in revenue alone each year if you count the minimum donation. If you take into account many donate more than the minimum I would think the number could be higher. The you take the bigger downers the ones in the boxes, you could see substantial additional losses there if they walk away or cut back. Then look at capital campaigns like the Renoations to Neyland. I would think it would be a hard time raising funds for those projects as well.

I think for a power shift over there to occur it would take something massive like this to take place. Sometimes you have to bulldoze it down before you can build back. I think it's highly unlikely for this to occur. My hope is that the Haslams get exposed and they are forced to back down due to public pressure. They do want Bill installed in DePietro's spot so if it becomes common knowledge that the Haslam mafia is in charge it may become hard for a new governor to make that appointment.

Agree.
Hey InVol, I respect your opinion.
I just posted something in the FF about the Haslams.
Would like your thoughts, if you don’t mind venturing over there.
