Come on, Currie can't fire Snyder now . . . get real.
I think Currie's overall lack of tenure and not having hired any coaches at KSU is going to be an issue.
I don't see why Castiglione would go to Tenn. From a financial perspective OU is just as big as Tenn.
Currie can't fire Snyder now. Nor should he. Yeah, it's funny to bash Snyder, but he's a good coach. And, like it or not, we've actually got a pretty good crop of players. If we take a step back this year and don't make a bowl game, fire his old ass. But, if we win 7 or 8 games (possible), and make it back-to-back bowl games, there won't be too much to complain about IMO.
With respect to Curry, I really hope that his tenure and lack of experience are
huge mitigating factors. Yeah, the guy can fundraise. But, with a fanbase like Tennessee, won't any AD be able to fundraise? I would imagine that experience in hiring and managing coaches is a big priority for them, so that they don't run into Pearl/Kiffin 2.0 in a few years.
