I mean on the one hand you have to be impressed with a program that had such high prestige and reputation for football just torpedo itself downward in such a short amount of time that bottom tier ACC, and G5 coaches want nothing to do with it.

Probably some contractual maneuvering that makes it advantageous to reassign him to another position until some arbitrary date rather than firing him outright right now.

Yeah I think I read Currie's buyout was higher than paying him the rest of his tenure.

Still seems bizarre to have a lame duck AD for multiple years.

Also lol if they gently caress up the Leach hire.

Given the report earlier this week that admin was leery of Leach because of the TTU suit, I actually wonder if him even talking to Leach is what spurned this.

Like "mother fucker we told you no on him once."

Eh, in the world of college football you could make the case that the big boosters are the bosses. They at least need to be on board since they are the ones paying portions of contracts and buyouts.

Joey Freshwater posted:

This makes me feel like Currie may not be as dumb as we think. Yeah this whole thing has been a mess but Schiano was Haslams guy 100% and it seems like since then Currie has been meeting with coaches that are more in line with what the fan base expects. We don’t know the Brohm story in full yet but his buyout was 5mil which was supposed to be the problem but apparently Doeren’s buyout was 5 mil too but he turned us down. So Brohm’s buyout being too high doesn’t make much sense.


Of course this could all just be Currie went and had the talk with Leach, got his terms and is taking them back to Bev to confirm everything to make an official offer so everyone is on the same page. Wishful thinking probably.

From what I understand, Brohm's contact with UTK was little more than an exchange of voicemails......that doesn't sound like a negotiated contract to me. He doesn't have an agent in the traditional sense, so any talks would have been with him or someone really close to him.
