It will take a stomach for this because it just got real. If people don't understand what social media just did in the history of college football and hiring a coach. Coaches will never last as long as they did in the past because social media. College coaches have a short shelf life theses days.
UT took the bull by the horns.

Its been real. Going on a decade real. Something had to give somewhere and it did. For better or worse. I wouldnt really expect a gator fan to understand or even care though.

You should get into advertising. It will take you far in life.
I think GNB does understand what went down on Sunday.

Well thats good.
That is your opinion, which you are 100% entitled to. I totally disagree. The revolt on Sunday has been a long time coming, and it had many facets to it. We'll see in the coming years if it was good or bad for the Vols. At least we didn't get stuck with Schiano.

I do.... I have been saying for years that social media will never let a coach last as long as the old days. What got Fulmer at the end of his career.... Yep.. The internet that Al Gore developed.... :mrgreen:
Fans now have a voice besides not showing up for the games.

Well said. Your post about Haslam was spot on.
And to think gator and scn are not even vol fans and they understand what happened this weekend. gator wants the vols to be good again due to the fact it
helps his team when they win. I am a vol fan through and through. I don't even pull for other sec teams during bowl games. I am not a homer. But one thing I
just can not understand is the love fest for GS all the sudden. Never heard his name before in any coach searches just a friend of Currie. Hate it for him to be
drug into all this. With that said it is Gruden :roll: or more realistic Kiffin for me :shock:

Not sure but it just got real.
6 yr 42 million dollar offer made a lot of coaches perk up.( just not sure our leaders are smart enough to identify or handle it)
Hate on the Vols and disagree with Sunday all you want but there will be REAL interest from good coaches making calls.
These guys have egos and think they can coach anywhere. Come here and you don't succeed so what. You make 7 million for 4 years and get a 10 million dollar buyout or succeed and your a top tier coach....

That very well may be, but it is also just your opinion. And, just my opinion, but I suspect most coaches' opinions of Schiano are that he's a good coach. After all, that is the opinion of Urban Meyer and Bill Belichick, two of the best, and many others. Most coaches are more likely to share my view of Schiano's association with Penn State. And their advisor's at least understand and will advise them that hearsay, let alone third hand hearsay, has, for good and obvious reasons, been inadmissible to prove guilt or liability under the American and English systems of Justice for 800 years. In my opinion, I predict most of the coaches UT will or try to interview are alarmed by what happened. They see an AD and administration with no spine that could not stand up to a social media mob and that just fired another coach who just had his first losing season in 5 years. They see politicians sticking their noses into something they shouldn't have gotten involved in. They wonder will this AD and administration back me up when Clay Travis or someone else stirs up the mob for whatever reason. Believe me, some will wonder did these Tennesseans not want Schiano because his last name ends in a vowel or he doesn't sound like them (and, based on my own personal experiences in TN, for some Vol fans that probably had a lot to do with this). They wonder if the AD who hires them will be there a year from now. They wonder if the chancellor of the university is going to sign the MOU the coach just signed. Regardless of whatever justifications you Vol fans think you had to act the way you did, those coaches aren'taware of any of them. You all think this was a revolt of righteous indignation and moral virtue. And, rightly or wrongly, it may have been, but that's not how the world outside of Vol nation looks at it. And the coaches you are trying to hire, and their families, live in that world, not yours.

Who does Currie go after now? I honestly thought Gundy would have taken the money. I guess I was wrong. It's hard to pull a guy from his Alma mater.
let someone else hire him or keep him at OSU. He was not/ is not/ and will not be wanted here. For me personally it is as 50/50. 50 being the fact he comes from a university that was tied up in decades of sexual assaults that he may or may not have known about, either way Tn doesn't want him leading our program. Guilty by association whether it's right or wrong. The other 50 being that his head coaching experience speaks for itself and it's very (extremely) lackluster. With that being said, I feel bad for the guy getting all the negative publicity that wasn't called for (unless he did indeed hold info) Since so many other coaches thinks he is so great, he will get his chance somewhere else and us Vol fans will clearly see we dodged a bullet.Scioto":2ga7sy3m said:

You may very well end up being right. I don't think so, but, as you said, that is my opinion.
But, I think some folks at the top of the UT administration finally got the message that the peon masses are no longer going to sit idly by and accept inept hires by inept administrators. There were a bunch of coaches that Currie could have rolled out that would have gotten very little adverse reaction, if any. Instead, he picked one so potentially toxic that his own department warned him against even interviewing, much less hiring. In the current realm of the sexual assault stuff spanning government, business, and entertainment, it was really dumb to even open that door. Had they hired Schiano, I can about guarantee that ESPN would have been scrolling across the screen blasting UT for hiring someone from the Sandusky and Ped State tree.
UT may have given itself the death penalty on Sunday. I don't think so, but, who knows. But, at least the fans sent the message that they were fed up with the status quo of the decision making on Rocky Top, and, we didn't end up with Schiano.

Would you be good with Schiano as head coach of the Buckeyes? Yes or no
I would guess to say that any coaches decisions not to accept the job has more to do with Currie's relationship with Bill Snyder than Sundays protest.
And the fact that Currie probably won't be around long.
Once somebody takes the job and TreyB and G-N-B get their digs in about a botched coaching search, I'll sit back and bask in the glow of not having Schiano as a coach while waiting on the fall to get here.

Latest I'm hearing is Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele.

There are 3-4 coaches I would rather see UT try to hire before settling for Steele. But, I would greatly prefer him over Schiano.

One report I read was Peyton Manning personally reached out to Gundy and it still came back a no. If The Godfather himself can't get him to TN . No one was.
