Offer Peterson the same contract....

make him say NO.

I'm wondering if Currie is a problem.  He could be seen as a dead man walking at UT after yesterday.  No idea if that's accurate, but its at least possible.

Could be just the current state of the whole program is such a mess that nobody wants to risk it.

Could be a curse.

I would guess that Currie's presence is very problematic.  From the way it sounds, it was Peyton and not Currie who pitched Gundy.

Currie will stick around until Haslam deems him disposable, but everyone knows he's just an empty suit at this point.

Peterson, Leach, Petrino (speaking for myself here, know everyone doesn't agree), Kiffin (again, me) in that order.  If all no, Tee.

I'm good with that order.

I can't see any way Peterson comes after Sunday's debacle.  Sad thing is, we probably had a real chance with him pre-Schiano.

As for Leach, I love the guy.  Probably the best "character" currently in CFB.  But I just don't see him succeeding in a big way at UT.  

Petrino and Kiffin...uh, no.

As for Tee, I read today that he and Peyton have never gotten along.  Not sure if true, but that could explain why he's not getting more traction.  It seems like Peyton is involved in this search in a big way, especially since Sunday.

Well I'm glad Peyton is involved.  I haven't seen any substance to the rumors about Peyton not liking Tee.  Sounds like more message board rumors.   

Peterson won't come for any amount.  This has been well established in our last two coaching searches and by other schools that have sought him in the East. 

Although I am not positive this is the main reason, I read years ago that his son receives specialized treatment at a cancer clinic somewhere in the Northwest.  His son is much older now, so that might no longer be a factor or as much of a factor, but that was at one point cited as the main reason why he would never leave that region.

I will be very surprised if Petersen even shows interest.  I don't even think he will use us for leverage, as he is also said to not be as motivated by money as most.  Which makes me want him even more.

I am on record as saying he topped my list in both 2010 and 2013.  I guess that makes him "my Gruden" but at least he is in college coaching.
