We've Got To Go Back
The coaching search has cost Tennessee over $13 million (plus possible lawsuit from Sunday), and they still haven’t made a hire

https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/12/1/16720564/tennessee-coach-search-john-currie-fired

Tennessee again is a household name, just for all the wrong reasons.

Are you a bad enough dude to coach the Tennessee Volunteers football team?

Word is that currie vanished completely last night trying to land Leech and save his job. The whole thing was off the reservation.

Currie is a haslam guy and Fulmer is very much not. There is a booster revolt currently in process and it may work.

As hosed up as this has all been, it needed to happen for any chance of restoring the program.

You can tell there are competing factions at war with all the media reports, counter reports, misses, etc. Sources on different sides of this thing.

That said didn’t I hear that Fulmer was behind the NC State guy? That is a bad sign.

I’ll give Currier credit if he went rogue to get Leach.

So, while Tennessee is a tire fire that's reaching the stratosphere, let's check some of the other "HOLY poo poo WHAT :psyduck:" things that are slipping under the radar.

Namely Herm Edwards to ASU and all but certain Fisher to A&M.

There was some scuttlebutt about taking Sumlin in what would have effectively been a swap, but that seems to have vanished.

Montana: Bobby Hauck has formally been announced as the new head coach and will work under a 3-year contract taking him through the 2020 season. Hauck went 80-17 in his first stint leading the Montana program from 2003-2009.

Lol. Leaks on leaks from both sides trying to poison the well against the other. I hope all the talking heads that blamed Vol fans for being upset at their coaching choice feel mad loving stupid right now. The fans are clearly not the problem.

New rumor - Currie to Washington State as AD. He use to work at KSU under the current WSU president, and they are looking for an AD.

Nah. Fulmer will be the one doing the hiring.
