If that rumor is true, they should be throwing money at him. On a side note, while Kiffin can be somewhat funny, isn't it really weird to have the gull to openly mock the school you completely failed at? Tennessee didn't make a mistake firing him, he was horrible. His hubris (and of course lack of talent as a head coach) is what's going to keep him at mid-conference level for the rest of his career.

Kiffin wasn't fired. He left after one season to take the HC at USC, where he failed at IIRC. Also, within that year, the NCAA came sniffing around for possible recruiting violations.

Kiffin isn’t someone I would want coaching at my university but he’s hugely entertaining otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the word is the reason UT officials did not want to Hire Leach is because he sued Texas Tech. I knew at some point that lawsuit would come back to haunt Leach.

Apparently the word is the reason UT officials did not want to Hire Leach is because he sued Texas Tech. I knew at some point that lawsuit would come back to haunt Leach. I read an article recently that says he's hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on TT leadership. Not just rumor either, he was quoted in the article talking about it. Since they're not paying him he's trying to get whatever revenge he can. He's always been a nutcase, but he's a damn good college football coach. At this point, I would think UT would be in "beggars can't be choosers" phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 http://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/college/university-of-tennessee/football/2017/12/01/john-currie-fired-tennessee-athletic-director/898378001/ Tennessee may owe Currie $5.5M unless they fired him for cause. If he overstepped his search and agreement authority it is possible they have grounds to dismiss him without the payment. However, it is my guess that any such assertions would likely be pretty thin legally given the backdrop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I read the same article regarding Leach hiring the PI. He even started his own hashtag, IIRC. That endeavor will probably end up like his lawsuit - nowhere. Leach is his own worst enemy. His nuttiness will continue to limit his advancement opportunities. Despite his "brilliance", he's too stupid to realize it. If true, I wonder if Currie figured it out, and knew his days were numbered, and that's why he went after Leach. Force UT into another Schiano situation as a big ole f*** you on the way out.
