Yep. Can you imagine the poor Texas Tech AD who had Bob Knight and Mike Leach at the same time? Both give absolutely zero effs, will do and say anything they want.

Leach is very smart. Has a law degree from Pepperdine, I think. And he can talk a lot about many different subjects. But he is also the guy who is never wrong.

That should be an interesting press conference:

Tennessee Chancellor Beverly Davenport will hold a news conference late Friday afternoon to discuss Currie’s firing.

And the hiring of Mike Leach, IMO

That would be surprising, since apparently the Fulmer faction tried to shoot that down.

Maybe to announce an interim AD? Fulmer thought he had the AD job last spring. Then Currie got it over him. Currie was assistant AD to Hamilton in '08 when Fulmer got fired. Who could have predicted a rift? What a cluster.

Lessen here for Currie and the Haslams is not to take on the coach who won the national championship:

Oh…..it’s happening (reportedly)

Phillip Fulmer will be named (interim) AD at Tennessee later today

Do we know who Fulmer wants as HC in all this mess ?

Bet it won't be Mike Leach. And I doubt he's a Lane Kiffin fan, either.

Could he go back to his buddy David Cutcliffe now? Or to Tee? Think Tee would be a bad hire, but not a lot of great options left.
