[Political Hack]

I just wanted to take a moment to reengaged in the previous debate between myself and others on this board about whether Miss State or Tenn is a better job right now.

If there?s anyone left that wants to explain how Tenn is still a superior program despite a decade of suck, I?ll hang up and listen. Thanks.

I am told that UT AD John Currie made an offer to Jeff Brohm that Brohm accepted. Currie then asked the chancellor to approve the offer ? buyout included ? and chancellor said no. So Currie went back to Brohm with lesser offer and Brohm said no. So here we are.

What are they doing up there?

[Activated Alpha]

Haven't had time to do much research, but what's the 411 on their coaching search?

Still feeling the stupid firing of Fulmer a decade later. I love it.

[Commercecomet24]

Good grief, they have totally screwed this up, maybe they can get Croom, I think he lives in Tennessee. There's no way in heck that Tennessee is a better program than us. They've just proved it over and over and over. Say hello to the bottom of the SEC, ut.

You know Fat Phil is somewhere laughing his butt off!

On paper Tennessee has more resources & a higher ceiling, but quality of job is about so much more.

MSU has better leadership, currently a better program, a significantly better team, & a more realistic view of what their program is & can be.

All things together, MSU is the better job. MSU is a medium sized business with great leadership, direction, & is gaining market share while TN is a conglomerate that lacks direction, leadership, & is losing market share.

[Political Hack]

So Kelly, Brohm, Mullen, Gundy, Pruitt, Frost, Morris, and some others have already turned it down? Is that list accurate, some of that is assumptions on my part based on the coaches currently in the market.

[lefty96]

The Tennessee job is fool's gold. You take away the good Fulmer years and what do you have? A big stadium. You add in the fact that the Fulmer years gave rise to the annual "Fulmer Cup" - you then have to question the Fulmer years.

If the UT job was a car, it would be an old jag. . .it looks good from the curb but runs like shit.

Great analogy.

[Irondawg]

Why would the chancellor not have pre-approved the financials of an offer the school made? I'm not sure i'm buying that Brohm accepted an offer

[RunDog26]

Tennessee Football - At least we're not about to be on probation like Ole Miss.

[Lance Harbor]

Well said.

[yjnkdawg]

I thought they pretty much were screwed, after they embarrased one of their potential candidates on social media, but that they may be able to still get one of their own, Tee Martin.

Happened with Jimbo at LSU or at least that’s what the LSU brass said when they fired then rehired Les two years ago.

On a separate note, Erik ainge (isnt he the old UT QB?) was DMing Kiffin to tel him he doesn’t want him back at Tenn. these bat shit crazy people can’t get anyone to come and are still actively turning people away, even after Schiano-gate.

[Commercecomet24]

They are almost as radioactive as unm at this point. That little stunt with Schiano probably scared off any serious coach with interest. Who would wanna walk into that mess?

[Really Clark?]

Can't believe you forgot the Schiano disaster protests

[Todd4State]

Tennessee is running away with the title of worst coaching search ever performed in the history of football. I'm guessing they're going to end up with Tee Martin and then kick the tires on Gruden again in about 2-3 years.

[Political Hack]

Can't believe you forgot the Schiano disaster protests

I figured everyone knew about that. I was just listing who turned it down. He had reportedly accepted it and thengot told no thanks. But yeah, that’s the fuel that turned a typical silly season dumpster fire into the 1908 burn down of San Francisco.

[Commercecomet24]

Does Currie survive this or is he gonna be sent to the pit of misery after its all said and done?

[Tbonewannabe]

Can't believe you forgot the Schiano disaster protests

Technically, Schiano accepted the job, everyone else has turned it down.

[lefty96]

Where is he now?

Lot of misery for sure. They may wait a while but he’ll be hard pressed to ever get past this.

[Commercecomet24]

I can't see him surviving this. I'm surprised vol fans haven't put a hit out on him.

I'm headed to Gatlinburg tomorrow, may have to check with a couple of boosters up there I know and see how they feeling lol

[Homedawg]

Mullen turned it down because of Florida. Otherwise, he would be the coach there. We can argue to argue if you want. But that's just the way it is

He also is in his first year so he doesn't exactly have any history that he can point to. There isn't any goodwill built up by Currie.

While probably true, cannot be overstated that that move would have been career suicide.

[Homedawg]

I won't disagree w that at all.

What about Clay Travis? If UT has to hire Tee Martin or the RB coach from ETSU... to me...that would be huge step down from Schiano. Nobody remembers that He was at PSU with Sandusky if Travis doesn’t tweet about it. Also, since then Travis has admitted, he torpedos the Schiano hire more so because of his coaching history.

[BulldogDX55]

Wish he would have gone there for that reason, even if it denied us the possibility of payback on 9/29/18

[DawgPoundtheRock]

I live in SE Tenn and the word going around here is that UT has not contacted Tee Martin who has his feelings hurt and is pissed at Tennessee. Supposedly, he would not take the job if they offered it, but who knows. He may be able to get over the slight very quickly.

UT thinks they are bigger than Tee Martin. Now it is almost like they HAVE to get a current Head Coach to save face. They just seem to keep digging the hole deeper.

[RocketDawg]

Is Tee Martin major football head coach material? Does he even have any coaching experience?

[Tbonewannabe]

He is the Offensive Coordinator for the USC Trojans. I believe he had a short stint in the NFL and has been in coaching since then. I don't think he needs any more cash from UT alumni's wives for car repairs.

[Dawgtini]

He is the OC for USC in Cali. He has experience.

OK thanks. I had no idea where he'd gone to.

He had little to no connection with the Sandusky scandals. That was all about them not liking his coaching resume. The scandal was a convenient excuse to go after a guy they didn't want anyway. They are going to have a very hard time.

[Coursesuper]

Now the dumbasses are in an uproar over the NC State guy.

[dawg43]

It has also been reported the UT was turned down by Kim Jong Un late this afternoon.
