Greg Schiano signs a MOU, Vols go absolutely ape**** with legislators, former players, talk show hosts and dog catchers protesting Schiano pedophile allegations.

Currie the AD, after having to **** backwards on the issue, is now searching, again. No way Gruden leaves his lofty perch to step in that collective pile of dog doo. Who would? A complete hot mess with a side of vitriol. Fun to watch, unless you are a Vol. Kiffin trolling them mercilessly. Food cart watching the city burn from afar.....

What a chicken **** statement. "Greg Schiano is a great coach who has never been officially mentioned as being part of the Penn State situation, but we have succumbed to the mob of a fan base in Knoxville, and have decided to let them run the program".

We've got a coach they can have......
Relevant tweet from Peter Burns about Clay Travis... The guy completely went against everything he rips on with the mob mentality
good god. What the hell must have happened at FSU for Jimbo to do this. He must hate how he's recruited or something.
Probably going to vote to make him the highest paid coach in college. Maybe #2 or #3.
Past few years have been really rough on Jimbo personally. That divorce was pretty messy too. Sometimes a guy just needs a change of scenery.
Some interesting comments about early signing period, and the "we deserve more mentality".

Checking the ACC standings, there are 2 teams out of 14 with worse conference records this year. Fisher is a pretty similar risky hire at this point for a program that is already loaded with talent, but has a record of underachieving. I'd be looking for a coach who's teams exceed their talent. Recruiting isn't the issue.
Really? seems like there are still some good candidates out there for them. Taggart, Frost and Leavitt all seem like good fits for them IMO.
$EC money and $ from a 102K seat stadium. They had the most profit last season I believe and have overtaken their Austin rivals in the $ department.
Frost or Taggart would be very good. Leavitt seems like a reach there.
But what if they cannot get those guys?
Mike MacIntyre it is. Definitely a program in need of a rebuild.
Kind of has to be, at Ol Miss, with sanctions looming, no? You either lure assistants with contracts that are way above market value, or you go on the cheap and hope to get some up and comers who will try to build their resume with an SEC assistant job.
It sucks to think about Ole Miss, the 4th or 5th best program in its own division and about to have the NCAA hammer dropped on them, is going to attract better ACs than CU could dream of right now.
