in the last 24 hours, tennessee has spoken with multiple potential candidates, including smus chad morris and purdues jeff brohm, per sources.
Currie never met face-to-face with brohm for a formal interview on wednesday. Its been confirmed that brohm spent a good portion of the day recruiting in kentucky.
Manning was involved in conversations with brohm as part of tennessees vetting process.
Despite a report earlier wednesday that brohm had accepted a deal to become the vols head coach, sources tell volquest.com that discussions with brohm never got that serious.
With no formal discussions, there was no monkey wrench thrown into the works by chancellor beverly davenport as some reports have suggested. Tennessee never reneged on a deal. As a high-ranking university source told volquest.com earlier wednesday, reports of the administration blocking a deal were 100% inaccurate.
So where does that leave us now?
As of late wednesday afternoon the search seems to have centered in on n.c. State head coach dave doeren, who we would now term as the favorite to emerge from this as the vols new head coach, per a source.
Doeren certainly isnt the most high profile name to have emerged in the search but within the acc, doeren has a solid reputation, and as one coach told volquest.com, dave doeren is a winner. Hes tough-minded and a good leader. The best thing i can say about him is hes a football coach.
