Sarcasm detected...

Fans are too entitled and spew absolute nonsense on social media. I like the response. The district will generate money and will help with recruits. Not everyone loves East Tennessee.

I’m too stupid to figure out what he’s saying? Someone want to dumb it down for me?

No response would probably be better IMO.

He's being sarcastic acting like someone is telling him something he wasn't already aware of.

 

[Behr]

Lol. Its like he read RockyTopT's comment.

 

[m_scott]

I thought Vol Village was good enough

 

[jwells]

The post he's replying to is an example of a thing that drives me nuts. It's such nonsense. No one thinks that. No one. But somehow these guys who fuss we "should of ran" when a pass didn't work think they're making some profound argument.

 

[NEO]

I honestly don’t see what he gains from replying other than it shows he is thinned skinned.

The product on the field will either validate his decisions or not.

Riling up the fan base is just not a positive in anyway.

Him responding in general isnt the greatest look imo. You cant make everybody happy. Put your head down and keep working.

How will it help with recruits? Please do tell.

Any program is improved by having a fanbase that is informed and up-to-speed. The better the fans understand the sport on the field or court, the more inviting the environment is for athletes. All people want to be appreciated for what they do well.

We seem to be in an area where snark speaks louder than carefully parsed legal statements. Actually, looking back on things that were said leading up to the Revolutionary War... I think we always have.

I’m unconvinced so far by Danny. I don’t think we have been as committed to football as some of our rivals. I hope I’m made to eat my words and that we land an elite class.

I disagree. The original post was beyond dumb (cue Captain Obvious)…and on par with many on here. It deserved a slap down response IMO.

He’s very committed to football, if by football you mean money

100%. This is the definition of unprofessional if it’s real.

 

[DonDiego]

I got no problem with it. I suspect the Neyland Entertainment District will pay for itself in time. Having great facilities to improve fan experience in no way negatively impacts the product on the field or the ability to win a national championship.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Text a buddy.

 

[Doberman]

Just grinding dude’s nose in the carpet, while also rifling through his pockets for “talent fees”.

Or just being a d1ck in simpler terms.

 

[IndianaVol]

Entertainment district = more fans = more money = better players/coaches/facilities = titles

 

[hbvol1982]

Money is the lifeblood of the athletic department, and the entertainment district will bring in a lot of it. The whole thing is win-win. Go Danny go. He understands this business as well as anyone.

 

[sonofUT62]

Stressful times in the portal following an underwhelming season, and a (slightly) underperforming basketball team. Dudes probably a little stressed. Best to ignore the fans but it happens.

Why be a smarta$$ to a fan?

Seems like DW has a VERY thin skin, based on this an numerous other incidents. Not a good look, sporto.

We all understand that DW considers himself the brightest person in the room. The 45 seconds he took drafting this smarta$$ reply would be better spent just sitting there and STFU-ing.
