Your post here seems reasonable to me. I guess the purpose of those who link me and Senior Drill do so because we saw and still see the good that he brought to our program. We both felt as though he was gonna send our fortunes zooming upward in a similar fashion as Ray Mears and Bruce Pearl did.
I have plenty to say about the current investigation. The only thing that I am aware of is that Tyndall fired Adam Howard after the news of the events at S Miss first surfaced. From this, I take it that Donnie was as shocked as most of us UT fans were. I believe that his phone calls and text messages came about due to the fact that he was seeking information as to what had taken place. I also believe that AH failed to cooperate with the COI due to the fact that anything that he would say would incriminate himself. It seems odd that he was willing to open up after he realized that he was off the hook and maybe he made Tyndall the fall guy as to get him back for being fired. We fans are still in the dark as to what the truth really is.
Academic fraud did occur because of the impending evidence, but it seems more like a he said/he said confrontation. Only thing here is that one has everything to lose and the other has nothing to lose. This doesn't sound like justice to me. Howard admitted fraud and then blamed Tyndall for orchestrating it. I believe that this is what the committee wanted to hear and they closed their investigation at that point.
Those who hate Tyndall are not concerned with the evidence, they just want to go along with the COI as though a thorough investigation took place and that, to them, is the end of the story.
Looking at it in that respect says to me that justice has yet to be served. Unless the committee can come up with something else that implicates Donnie, then the COI 's actions were wrong and may be criminal.
