So @Vol_Hoops will play for its first @SEC Tournament Championship since 2009-10 & just its 11th in #SEC history. #Vols haven’t won @SEC Tourney since ‘79. Have 15 wins over #SEC foes for just third time ever: 1966-67, 2007-08 & now 2017-18. Barnes should be National Coach Year!

Have been told consistently since Friday the Schiano talk is part smokescreen, part controlled leak to gauge reaction on backup to backup plans. Currie’s own words, plus this @washingtonpost story, make Schiano a worst-case-scenario:

After starting the 88 season 0-6 @Vol_Football under Johnny Majors went 34-6-2 across its next 42 games. That winning spree, including 3-straight outright or shared @SEC titles, set the foundation for the #Vols 1990s dominance. Majors as player & coach helped burnish UT a power

Believe @GrantRamey wrote this in detail earlier, but am told @John_Currie was going to pay Schiano $27mil/6 years. Which is mid-SEC at best. Per reports, Currie is highest-paid @SEC AD. Why go cheap on most important post/program?
