Didn’t know about this rule. Obviously if a university still wanted to hire Kelly they could but it would require an extra step of consulting the SEC commissioner.

Sankey would then say, "Sure Florida, anything for you."

Currie should not be judged on the when or what he communicates to a frustrated fan base. No matter what he says he will be ripped. I will judge Currie after the process is over. Players won’t find out via twitter like at Florida.

Honestly what happens at Florida this weekend looked bad on the admin and the program. It was second rate.

No one knows what’s up. Currie is likely working the proper back channels and it’s not like we could interview Frost or Mullen next week and proper feelers likely went out to Chip and Gruden.

If some reports are that Butch is holding the staff together and this is the seniors best chance for success then maybe I see it. I believe Butch knows and I think a negotiated buyout is agreed.

Currie should be judged at the end of the firing/hiring process and not now imo.

I agree with Ziti, it is a bad move by UF. Many prospects for the job will be reluctant now.

FWIW, the current ESPN report says a source reports it is mutually agreed and that the buy out has been agreed upon subject to finalizing. Based on Mac's press release ESPN is undoubtedly correct since he spoke glowingly of UF, the players, and their fan base.

Yeah it's probably why it will be Norvell. The Fl sports agent that broke all of the JMAC firing stuff Saturday morning said yesterday he was the clear front runner... if itis Norvell the tune of many on here would change I assume since we don't want him as our coach

I like it, great schools, nice proximity tonDT and islands, good restaurants and lots to do with nice parks etc.

Only downsides is it's jammed packed with people during may-sept and property has gotten absurdly expensive.

Thanks. We are all accustomed to Sevier County traffic over here, so that part is no big deal. My son-in-law is in law enforcement and they know him there since his uncle worked with them years ago. Are there any areas nearby that are more reasonable on housing?

I know UT fans want to point to Florida firing JM and act like they are demanding a winner but they just messed up IMO. This won’t sit well with coaches and JS is gonna have them over a barrell if they wanna hire one of his clients.

I predict they make another bad hire. Three in a row for the gators.

I hope it's Norvell, I'd rather the Gators get him than Kelly, Mullen, or Frost.

I've never said he isn't a good coach. I don't think he has "great" in him. We havec already hashed this a lot. I was just giving my opinion on a hypothetical Frost/UF vs. Mullen/UT situation.
Click to expand...
I gotcha.

I would prefer Frost, but Mullen has had some great seasons considering the team. 9/10 wins is no small feat there and he's 5-2 in bowl games.

Not really. In MT Pleasant a single family home starts at 300k at the very bottom of the barrel.

You can move up into Goose Creek or Summerville (Summerville is much better) but if you have typical work hours your looking at an 1hr -1.5hr commute each way because traffic coming from that direction towards Charleston and MT P is a disaster.

Does he have children? If schools don't matter he'll have more flexibility.

I need the "is everyone taking crazy pills gif I'm here".

Columbia SC is 2 hrs from Mt Pleasant which is 5 -25 minutes from DT Charleston depending which part of MT P you live in.

Columbia and MT P are 200 miles apart

lol I just saw your post and assumed you were taking about Columbia, TN and Mt. Pleasant, TN. You know what happens when you assume lol. Carry on

I’m OK with Mullen... but just ok

Depending on the Florida hire, I’d feel like we are battling between 2-3 in the division annually with an occasional shot at the division... in an era more likely more competitive than Butch has faced. Kind of same result, but in a more difficult fight.

Not where I want to see this program, JMO

My gosh... watching the end of the KY game

Warrior... 👀

Butch has had so many one play game enders this year

GT was a win
Florida pass
USC Td drop last play
Warrior INT drop to seal it

Not defending Butch, but truly three simple player executions away from being 6-2

Yes - two young boys. One will be going to Kindergarten next year. Looks like they are going to have to live with the housing costs. Our daughter is in nursing who left her last job to have her second child. She may have to go back to work at least part time. Wow - what a commute! Thanks for your information.

Got to admit I hope they do because grandpa and grandma will be heading that way to find a home near them. Grandma refuses to be away from her grandchildren and we love us some lowcountry.

Honestly Nick, average 9-3 10-2 and UT admin would be thrilled IMO. I’m not convinced they have the same passion to win football games as others do at the moment.

If UF wants Norvell, I hope they get him. With Frost, Mullen and some others on the table that would best case scenario for us.
