If Leach takes that job, he's telling the fans that they can get whatever they want as long as they throw a big enough tantrum.  He'll deserve whatever he gets and will have no right to complain when the inevitable happens.

Makes sense that Leach would be the only coach willing to join this clown show.  Can't wait to see how Curr-dog manages that relationship.

I really hope Leach doesn't go and this somehow falls apart.

Sounds like a decent chance that happens...

However this whole deal is complicated by the dynamic swirling around within UT’s leadership. We’ve heard from multiple sources there is a lot of in-fighting, finger-pointing and back-stabbing taking place amongst Tennessee brass. As SI reported earlier this week, there is a growing faction at Tennessee pushing to get Currie removed. Former Vols head coach Phil Fulmer is said to be one of those battling with Currie and that could muck up the process to reel in Leach.

A source told SI earlier this week that even though Currie is very intrigued with Leach, the fact that he has sued an employer before gives them pause.

Wait a minute. Leach tried to pick his own athletic director then got mad that the university president didn't act on his choice right away? :ROFL: you can't make this crap up

Here was the cliffs notes version of that whole thing:

Some coug fans are trying to spin the meeting as Leach having interviewed Currie for the coug AD job. 

I still think the two of them are gonna swap schools, if anything.

Currie just met with Chancellor. Possibly fired. Possibly stripped of certain powers.

Another rumor that he went rogue and tried to hire leach without the blessings of the Haslams.

"Stripped of his powers"? What could that possibly even mean in a non-termination scenario?

I'm not a Currie fan, but if going after Leach was the straw that broke the camel's back, that's BS. That's the biggest set of balls he's shown as an AD.

also I want a list of all the smug ksu bbsers who thought currie was good at being a big time athletic director. the dude didn't last a year at a school not named kansas state. completely and totally inept.

i'll go easier on you if you out yourself here in this thread. if I have dig around and find you all out on my own, it's going to be much, much worse for you.

Wors on twitter is that the Haslam family (Owners of part of the Browns) forced the admin to fire Currie over him going rogue and offering Leach.

Same ppl who wouldn't sign off on Brohm's buyout? That admin deserves to suffer.
