I think all Tennessee folks have a right to be pissed at Currie. I think a home and home with Purdue is mixed bag under these circumstances. Folks in Indiana might feel as betrayed as Vols fans did with Kiffin.
Apparently it was fake news anyway. I think TN is a great place to coach, with lots of money and great facilities, and a winnable division, but dang if at this point I wouldn't want to work for this administration. I'm just hoping we can get a coach. Give interim Brady Hoke a chance but put a stop to this mess.
Yep, there are stories now circulating refuting the announcement on the Knoxville radio station that broke the announcement. So right now there is nothing concrete on this matter.
But in truth hiring Vanderbilt's head coach to serve at Tennessee is essentially the comparison to Purdue. Why not Northwestern? They've been consistently better than Purdue for quite some time now.
Clay Travis rumor: Deal was done, chancellor wouldn't sign it, Currie had to go back and ask Brohm to take less money, he said no.
Clay Travis should be sued for his part in stirring the backlash against Schiano. I think both Schiano and Tennessee should sue him. If someone at UT is leaking information to this putz then they need to be relieved of their duties, or if they merely have a source within the athletic department then that employee should be fired.
There's your problem at Tennessee!!!! Clay Travis should never know what the heck you are about to do or what you just attempted to do!
And an important side note: Once Tennessee had a source saying they were willing to give John Gruden 10 million a year and another 8 million for his staff do you seriously think any of these good coaches are going to come for less??? Does Tennessee think someone else is going to take less than Brohm was offered??? This is a huge dysfunctional crap storm that is blowing up in Knoxville and it screams for a housecleaning!!!
I find Clay’s hypocrisy especially galling in this matter. For someone who preaches resisting the Twitter mob and how that crowd doesn’t represent the population at large, he is sure proud of his actions over weekend.
I didn’t like the Schiano hire because I felt it was a repeat of Butch Jones. That said it would have been better to cast ire at AD Currie than what has transpired . Tee Martin may be the only viable option left and IMO he is not ready for a job like UTK. Rocky Top has out crazied Aggie fans, scaring off Sumlin and other candidates like him.
