can we safely say this hiring back out was caused by social media?

just 10 years ago UT fans wouldnt have been able to mobilize so effectively against a hire.

incredible stuff

If that’s true can Currie survive the mess he made?

Don't athletic departments have a bunch of staff to help with the vetting? I could have told you not to hire Schiano

What a fricking moron.

The AD should resign. You have a staff that's paid to vet people. WTF

Couldn't they just fire him for cause if he actually signed something?


doubtful, but i never went to law school.

anything he did happened prior to him being hired
and was knowledge available to the general public by typing his name into a google search.

so not sure how Tennessee could use any excuse other than “we’re stupid”

That's an obvious lie but it's a bad one because it makes him look more incompetent.

This AD doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing.

Just asked a source familiar with the Tennessee search who might be offered next.

“Gotta see if Currie is still involved.”

I mean...the hearsay stuff was right there in Wikipedia. Currie didn't even look up Schiano on Wikipedia? Dude...

I'm not a lawyer but I would imagine that the contract would have to be signed & ratified by board of reagents prior to any buyout. no?

There are reports that TN will owe Schiano $20 million in a buyout for a contract that was signed but TN backed out of it. But only speculation on this. Fox Sports Knoxville mentioned this.
