UT fans now wanting Currie to be fired. This all seems so weirdly familiar....

Yeah, this has to be a no-win situation for Currie at this point.

Has to be shitting his pants right now.

If Currie hires someone like Sumlin, it's all good (for a while, at least). I'm just skeptical that he will be willing or able. He really shpuld have locked up Mullen when he had the chance.

New rumors that Currie hired schiano two weeks ago and now that tenn is backing out, they'll owe him money. Please let this be true. Also clay travis called Currie a slapdick.

Currie's got a soft landing spot in Pullman.

If the objection is the Penn State stuff, that's completely fair but let's not act like you guys wouldn't act like this if the hire wasn't anyone but Gruden.

I recall Schiano having his guys cause fights when the other team would kneel down, and Peyton supposedly cussed him out after that.  I also recall during his time in Tampa Bay, there was a MRSA break-out.  And I also hear that he is a 100% pure unadulterated grade A+ bad person.

All truths, his biggest minus in my book is how he treated Josh Freeman

...the deal, if reached, would be worth upwards of $10M per season for Gruden, with another $8M per season reserved for the salaries of his staff.

So colossally stupid. Come on, they aren't going to give that dude $10 million a year

stupid why?
it’s not currie’s money, it costs him nothing.  he’s giving his fans what they want and putting money in his own pocket via 5 years+ of job security.  if it doesn’t work, its’s gruden’s fault, not currie’s and no one would think otherwise

It's stupid because I'm guessing he can find someone more proven than Gruden for that much money. He needs to hire who he thinks is best for the job, not be bullied by idiots to do what they think is fun. If the search leads him to Gruden at $18 million a year then fine, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be necessary.

more proven than the guy with 30 years of coaching experience, a super bowl ring, and the far and away number one choice of the fanbase.  no. give them what they want and pay him their money, that’s how this should work.
this isn’t a complicated calculus

30 years coaching experience? I think we are on the same page, I don't necessarily think that Currie is stupid for doing that, I think it's stupid that he'd be forced to. Namely because it seems as if it would be bribing a guy to coach there who doesn't want to.

How does UT let Currie go make the hire still? He totally mumped up the search and hire, and they might owe money to Schiano. Now you trust him to go out and make a good hire after all this? What a disaster

Freeman wasn’t a Schiano man so he treated him like crap, did things to make Freeman lose support in the locker room, and eventually benched him. Essentially ruined his whole career for not being one of his guys

He didn't have a chance at Mullen or Sumlin, LOL. Do I need to post the list again?

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that, and that he "allegedly" leaked the medical info on Freeman.  Good catch.

I know you guys hate Currie but if this isn't a collective effort to eff this up, collective efforts don't exist. University President down to Billy in Pigeon Forge screwed this all the way up.

Hes not alone in blame for the situation but he’s the one that will take the brunt of the fans anger and hate. Like the face of a scandal they are the one to get fired and blamed.
