  Which they won’t get. So this will be very fun to watch from the sidelines.

Exactly, absolutely no one that will take that job now will satisfy them.

I'd guess they'll either have to overpay for a completely unproven "up and comer" that's too dumb to turn it down or a really old retread that knows he can get a ton of money on his last stop before disappearing from coaching.

It doesn't matter who they get. They can't trash the new guy even 1/5 as much because it is their actions that caused them to get the new guy. Even if they hate the new guy more than schiano, they have to be somewhat accepting. They won't rally twice.

Did they just single handily blacklist Schiano from any potential FT gigs by blasting him so hard publicly? I'd be a bit tentative to move fwd with him after that. Even if I was Memphis or something.

I find it very difficult to believe that John Currie is doing this complete termination and hire of a FB coach in a vacuum or on his own.

The smart thing for UT to do would be to fire JC today, put his head out on a stake for the media to see -- and summarily blame the whole bumbling and fumbling affair on Currie.

UT Administration doesnt really seem to be able to get much of anything right over the past few years and the blame goes much deeper than JC (although he's not in any way blameless).

Ask Missouri what it's like trying to hire a football coach without an AD.

After this debacle, It's going to be even harder to hire someone with AD John Currie.

I'm not saying they'll go into BID mode again.  The article used the word "embrace".  Outside of a few names on a short list, I don't see these zealots embracing anything other than their pitchforks.

Fair. I'll give a 30% chance that they embrace and a 70% chance that they are meh.

No, he's the defensive coordinator at Ohio State University. He has Urban Meyer and Bill Belichick as references. He'll have bigger issues with a closer inspection of what he did at Rutgers. He'll get other offers but nothing as "good" as Tennessee.

I might have missed it in the fast paced discussion in this thread but has anything else come out in regards to UT having to pay schiano despite not hiring him?

Yeah, this is exactly correct. The most impressive part of all this is their ability to form a circle jerk of group think. I'm sure there were Tennessee alums who were uncomfortable with the attempt to smear this dude. Those people were either shouted down or didn't feel comfortable speaking up.

They'll do whatever they're told to do and their band leader profits from outrage so it shouldn't be hard to see where this ends up. After they moved on from Gruden it seems like the group now has their sights set on Campbell.

My understanding is the MOU was signed by both parties.  Since it was signed, a good lawyer will get UT having to pay Schiano.

Clay Travis (because I don't want to link his tweet: "As the Tennessee search redirects, I'm told current Dallas Cowboy tight end Jason Witten has let Tennessee athletic director John Currie know he would leave the Cowboys to take over the Tennessee football job:"

lolwtf.

Well if he did, he absolutely didn't, he should have been fired yesterday. I don't think he did that though, his history doesn't indicate he'd do that. The Frank stuff was absolutely a coordinated effort between him and the guy this board called the animal. In retrospect it looks like he had some money support from the Ice and Johnson families for hiring oscar, that money for the BTF came in pretty quickly after Frank was gone.

That can't possibly be true, that rumor should go over well in the Cowboys locker room.

Knoxville sports radio makes for a pretty good listen this morning: http://radio.securenetsystems.net/ce/index.cfm?stationCallSign=WKGN2

The level of crazy is off the charts. "The east coast liberal elites tried to force us to hire their coach but we won't have it."

TBD but we will have to pay him. I think Schiano is preparing to file suit against UT.

That could also go in the Break Up the United States thread.
