I have just figured this out. Phil Fulmer just undermined AD Currie and TN till he got the AD job, then the only candidate that will work is Fulmer himself, so he'll collect both paychecks and TN will be dumb enough to sign off on this deal. Scandalous, yet very effective. Good job Phil!
If Fulmer is taking over as interim AD, I can't see Kiffin getting a call. He would be near the bottom of the list -- maybe a slot or two below Spurrier and just above Gerry Faust.
