i disagree completely. and honestly did he make the wrong call both of the other coaches one went 5-6 and the other 6-6 and according to 247 both have more talent than the lsu team this year. i wasn't a fan of the ed o hire at the beginning of the year but the way it ended i'm good with it for the time being

No. Not even close, as bad as that was.

So does this mean Austin Thomas won't be going to Tennessee, then?

There is NO fricking way Currie will be our A.D. going forward.

This isn't going to be forgotten. This ends with him being gone.


And, honestly, rightfully so. You can't, in this day and age, be so absolutely tone deaf to PR. Same reason Alleva needs to be shown the door.

It's almost like Currie cooked up this scheme on purpose to get fired. I can't wrap my mind around him actually believing this is a legitimately good thing for UT.

The Tennessee HC job is just not desirable. I understand the fans outrage over Schiano, but he was the best they could get. They had to get someone with baggage because no one else wants to touch it. We saw the same thing with the last two hires, guys way down the list, maybe not even on it at the beginning.

Despite a bad season, the UT FB program outlook is much better now than it was then. Pretty good roster, recruiting class and fertile in-state recruiting. They could likely make a pretty decent hire.

Several candidates who'd probably want the job would be better fits and hires than Schiano, even if he didn't have his pedo coverup baggage. Tee Martin, DJ Durkin, Mike Norvell, to name a few.

One interested in making 5-7M

Volunteer fanbase is more united in this reaction than I've ever seen across the spectrum. That says a LOT

This is about Schiano, not about any other coach

Alleva didn’t hire a guy who covered up child rape. Explain how Alleva’s handling was worse. And I think Alleva is an idiot.

Coaches won't view it that way. If you throw a hissyfit when a coach is MAYBE hired what are you going to do when the real coach loses.

Alleva's problem is more like one PR disaster after another. He got shown up by F_King, then he gets bullied and shown up by Foley/McIlwain/Stankey when the facts were all pro-LSU, then he flubs his second bite at the apple to replace Miles.

The guy is just a walking PR nightmare.

Nah. In this case, their uproar reflects the opposite.

It ain't the only job open where you can get that and the other places aren't throwing hissyfits right now.
