Hire of the Century comes from the

Fan base...

 

[Chomper]

Yes folks, the Un-iversity of Tennerc, which previously brought you Moral Victories and Champions of Life, now unveils the Hire of the Century. Stay tuned.

 

[rogdochar]

UT fans are aroused by Pruitt's brag that his UT offense will rely on misdirection and all forms of brickery.

@danharralson: Heisman Trophy winner and current Alabama offensive analyst Chris Weinke will join Jeremy Pruitt's Tennessee staff.

Good ... adds to deserved hatred.

It might work out for them, and it probably is the best option that they could get. Fans generally say things that are over the top, like firing a new AD if they don't obtain Chip Kelly as the new HBC at UF.

Pruitt will almost certainly be better than Butch, at least.

Hope Mullen gets help from Weurffel and Pruitt gets help from Peyton.

As head coach does he get the pick of the assistant's wives?

"jus primae noctis refers to a supposed legal right in medieval Europe, and elsewhere, allowing feudal lords to have sexual relations with subordinate women."

How can we all forget Chris "Spank My" Weinke was like 30 years old still playing college ball. Dude is a year or 2 younger than I am.

Greg Schiano would have made $27.7M over 6-plus years in scrapped Vols deal with a MOU signed between Currie and Schiano.

It is still not known whether Schiano is making any kind of claim based on what was represented to him. If he believes he was in fact hired, and then fired without cause, he would be owed 75 percent of the contract, which would equal $20.7 million.

Schiano isn't owed anything on the Tennessee deal because there was no deal. Some say he wants to take it court........I'll just sit back and see if Schiano ever wants to go into any courtroom and answer questions.

Not so fast my friend....the MOU was signed by Greg and the Athletic Director.....with no verbiage in the MOU saying his signature wasn't binding, they might be up the creek on this one. They are for sure going to have to settle and it might be more if he goes after defamation!

Hang on to your butts Vol fans, Schiano is going to take you to the cleaners on the botched hire. His name will go into the Tn Coach HoF along side such Champions of Life as Lane Kiffen, Derek Dooley and Butch Jones.

 

[oxrageous]

Agreed - Schiano is getting at least 7 figures out of the UT.....possibly 8 figures if he really cleans up.

We're rooting for him hard.

Can we let Alvin back to get his hot take?

 

[amber1]

Schiano won't see a penny. Anyone think this guy wants the publicity? Think again.

Also... What are the damages? There are no financial damages.....the guy is still working as before.
Damage to his reputation? The University of Tennessee didn't make any negative publicity on him.
The Students...Yes. Let's see if he can find those that did that.

Exactly. Sure, they might be able to argue that the CFO or Chancellor didn't sign it but the AD sure did and that might be binding enough since it's simply a Memorandum of UNDERSTANDING.

Contracts 101: Why do you think they have those signature lines above the name on a MOU?

To make it binding. Two signatures missing.

Currie had no authority to bind anything over $100,000
