TENNESSEE
Now this one could be a lot of fun.
Tennessee athletic director John Currie apparently has been all over the country in the past few days.
Since Tennessee’s fan base essentially blocked his hiring of Greg Schiano on Sunday, it’s been a rough few days. Currie has been turned down by Mike Gundy, Jeff Brohm and Dave Doeren while looking for the Vols’ next head football coach.
It was also reported on Thursday that former Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin isn’t interested in the UT opening.
Now the Vols AD is reportedly turning his attention west.
Currie evidently is in the Los Angeles area, according to Tennessee insider John Brice. And he has apparently interviewed Washington State head coach Mike Leach for the job.
He may have interview another candidate or two, as well, Brice said:
Now several folks, including someone at Washington St., tell me Currie interviewed Mike Leach & possibly 1-2 other candidates today in the Los Angeles area.

Having Leach in the SEC would be a ton of fun for everyone involved. Whether or not he could win in Knoxville remains to be seen.
Maybe he’ll get a chance.
In LA, Will be interesting to see if contact was made with Tee while out there. Can’t imagine he has too much time to sit and chat getting ready for PAC 12 game
I hope! I Hope! This is my Guy!
If we get Mike Leach, I am taking Credit for this whole fiasco…
Please …please hire Coach Leach..Dude is awesome…
I’ve heard that the Tennessee fan gear store has put in an order for orange eye patches….
Correction, they are orange and white checkered eye patches.
Hearing these Tennessee fans beg in the comments makes me want to see him turn the job down even more.
Not a UT fan…
I have never understood the hat piggy fans have of UT. Maybe it was because UT cherry picked the best talent out of Arkansas with Fulmer. Either way seeing piggy fans, Mizzou fans, Mis St fans, KY fans, cock fans, and Vandy fans talk trash is cute. You know all the schools still looking for their FIRST SEC title…
Leach: The man who put a booster’s kid in a closet. Yes, he’s perfect for Vol Nation.
Tough love. Kid probably deserved it.
Leach will turn down the job. Why do Vols fans keep falling for this? By the way, please don’t stop. It’s hilarious.
He’d be entertaining if nothing else.
His syle of offense gives Bama fits.
Alright Tennessee, I will take the job. I believe I can put together a game plan to beat the mighty in-state powerhouse Vanderbilt.
Good Grief…maybe he’s chilled out a little bit, conduct himself in some sort of respectable way.
Really, you run an innocent man out of town and ruin his career to turn around and hire a guy fired for mistreatment of players? This what some of the players had to say about hos firing at tech. “I have no complaints about this decision. [Leach] put Adam [James] in a shed like an animal. Like an animal in a cage. That was bull,” defensive lineman Chris Perry said. “You call other players. I think it was a good decision. We have our pep back now. We practice hard this week. We had less stress this week. You know why? Because he’s gone.”
Haha, this!
Leach is cool
