Wow....amazing how fast it true.
So Haslam forced the hire, Currie bends to a powerful booster, fans turn on hire, now Currie may be out.
Why would anyone want to be AD
Tenn AD has reached out to Brohm

Kirk Ferentz, Barry Alvarez in the late 90's (has turned itself in to a power school, imo), Mike Leach has said he wants jobs that are rebuilds only), Pat Fitzgerald, Bill Snyder at Kansas State comes to mind for me.
Sounds like a load of hokum. Consipiracy theories seem to be pretty popular in Tennessee.
funny, same questions we are asking today. If they don't stop the Haslams hold over the school, then does it matter who they hire? Self-answering question

Bill Belichick and Urban Meyer were strong in recommendations for fired Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano—Belichick called twice—and here’s where I hear there was a major rift in the organization. Banner wanted nothing to do with Schiano. Haslam was intrigued with him after the over-the-top recommendation from Belichick. The group flew to Tampa to interview Schiano, and one source said Banner was cold to Schiano, not participating much in the interview. Banner likely thought Schiano would be a disastrous hire, given all the negatives in recent Cleveland history. He was probably right, but the owner was open to it, and when the owner’s open to it, the man running football operations should at least consider it.
What did you think of his hire?
Mike Lombardi has been saying he's the next Belicheck if a team would give give him a chance
Every NFL coach minus Belichick hates his guts. (Imagine Belichick coaching a college team, how that would work out) His players in Tampa and at Rutgers hated him. His coaching record is below .500. He has anger issues. He's a poor fit on a good day. On a bad day, he's an iceberg looking for a ship. Have you seen any other offers for him to be a HC in college?
the money that pours into the school from donors is crazy. Our ticket prices go up every year, and we get less for it. the fans went nuts at another average hire for the football program. I don't feel bad or embarrassed today, cause i've had the last 3 months of football to feel that.
Used that line to describe my first wife. NP
LOL.
Good luck with the hire (as long as you don't get you know who) and next football season
Thanks. We're most likely going to be awful for the forseeable future. I'm taking up knitting next september.
LOL...you’re tied for 33rd during THIS century! As for this decade? You’re tied for 66th! Today’s recruits know your program by THESE numbers, not the ancient garbage you spout.
And this is the truth. Haven't been good since the turn of the century. that's what our fan base is pissed about. An historically top 10 football program, that cannot beat anyone of substance. Butch recruited back to back top 5 classes. Any good coach can do the same in Knoxville, we just want one.
If Haslam’s such a football genius, maybe he should go get his own football team...
I root like hell against the Vols, but would double down if Brohm left. Only exception would be if the Vols are playing OSU or Harbaugh.
Scratch that now...I cheer for the Vols only if they play Captain Khaki Pants

Tee Martin has been approached, the rest of the names kinda blend together. Brohm is still the biggest name on the list, but as long as Currie is the AD, with a group of fans that are begging for him to be fired, what coach would come to work for him? None that are sane, IMO.
Mike Gundy was offered the job. I can't see Brohm being a candidate if they are going after guys like Gundy.
Gundy is a good fit there imo. He's a coach that hasn't been able to take that final step at OkSt, but OkSt has never been able to recruit at the level needed to deliver championships. He definitely has the ego you need to coach at a program like UT, and a change of scenery might do him some good similar to Mark Richt at Miami.
Plus, Mike Gundy is a MAN.
Apparently Peyton called Gundy to make a pitch. Brohm still listed as having been contacted. Maybe Drew needs to make a call to Jeff.
anybody with half a brain isn't coming to Knoxville, your coach included. Its time for the administration in Knoxville to burn. Let it all burn. I don't care how long it takes. I'd rather go winless and get new leadership, than continue to struggle to be average or below average, with the kind of money the school has. Even for 7 million, I don't see Brohm leaving for UT.
Not trying to hijack, but per footballscoop:
SMUs head coach Chad Morris (some debate if this is true)
Auburns DC Kevin Steele
YahooSports:
Dave Doreen
SI saying Brohm, Doreen and Martin being contacted

we aren't hearing that he's been contacted. Right now, its kinda dead as far as info.
One of our insiders just posted that its Brohm we've focused on this morning. you guys hearing any chatter?
From our mods:
"We are hearing the rumors on Jeff Brohm. That is making its round in some coaching circles, but we have no confirmation on anything. But that rumor is out there, seems to be growing."
So, its probably Brohm's turn to reject the offer.
As a Browns fan, I would not wish anyone to work in anything that Haslem has touched
