I was wrong

[babyavi]

You were in then you were out then no you were in again. Then you were in Haslems booth then you were at your cherry oak desk the you were watching it all unfold on your 27" mac. Then your kids hack your account. You are fos more than anybody I've ever seen. Oh yea and you pilfered someone's avi for your screen name. Everybody on VN knows your fos. And you are the troll of trolls.

Ha ha, man you are pissed that you bought in so hard to Gruden. I'm sorry guy, but your username is just not original.

No other SEC school other than Vandy or KY or possibly MS would have hired this guy. That tells me all I need to know about the competency of this AD.

Put your checkbook with your mouth is. Start a Fire Hart fund, lets see how much that accumulates.

You will never win the battle, if you consider it that. Because ultimately, this whole Gruden thing blew up in your face. It would be easier to just say I was wrong, leave it at that, then still CONTINUING justifying why it fell through or when.

Here is what I believe about the Gruden thread, as if no one really cares, but this quote from Hitler sums it up.

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it”

He also said that the best lie has a lot of truth.

BabyVol on TOS's got a pretty good write up on his perspective. It looks like there were enough key boosters to get it rolling, not enough key boosters to run it through. Gruden's money demands for himself were agreed upon. He had enough interest to start gauging coaches' interests for his staff. This was tweeted by other NFL beat reporters, not OG's. Saying Gruden never had interest in UT isn't accurate.

So, as a UT fan, who do you think puts our team on an even playing field w/ Bama, Fla, Ga, LSU, SC...Gruden or anyone else? That's not a hard question to answer. And if he even has the slightest interest, you go for it.

I think when it came time for Hart to reach out to Gruden because of all the grumors, a deal was on the table, but various issues had either side balking a bit.

Hart couldn't wait for when/if those issues could be fixed while all of his candidates on the short list were getting hired and/or contract extensions. And now we have Butch.

Is he a solid hire? Dunno...Dooley beat him, but he's won everywhere he's been. I just can't see him getting us to the top of the SEC east. Could Gruden? Dunno that either, but I guarantee he would get lots of attention from high caliber recruits and I can also guarantee BJones will not. He'll get a few, but he's not gonna turn as many heads as Gruden would have.

Its not the OG's fault nor their sources. It all goes back to Dave Hart not getting it done and you can even say some of the fault is on Gruden. He could have easily took some figures down and at least met us 60/40.

I read a NFL journalist take on it today and he said Gruden not being our new coach is a complete surprise to him and that Gruden to Tenn was the worst secret ever in the NFL!!

Where is the link?

I heard from someone from the 97 squad. Seems like a lot of the rumors gained volume and traction after the team was in Knoxville for the reunion over the Bama weekend.

did i mention my sources? kidding.

 

[VOLumeS]

Uncalled for...and whom ever liked this post.

No one's arm was twisted or a gun held to their head to make them believe anything. Everyone was passed the same info from the OG's and you could choose to believe or not believe. DTO...I for one appreciate what you and all the OG's brought to the board.

Nah i think it fits his description well him SBV, OVI, LWS, and whomever else.

We have all been wrong

Exactly how does me contributing to a fire Dave Hart fund get him fired. You are a freakin' joke. When I joined VN, I noticed how everybody were always on your case. I thought I would give you a chance. Now I understand why everyone thinks your a clown.

I can't tell you what I'll do with my check book but I can tell you what I won't do and that's spend another dollar on UT sports. I haven't bought a piece of UT clothing in two years. When they get that crap fixed over there I'll come back but not till then.

You didn't see me hijack someone else's profile. Your nothing but a joke. Your kids should log on more often. They have better post.

Hey Little DTO, you Boro and a few others are good in my book.There have been many of cowards to take shots along the way but there are a few real men that would stand up an admit a mistake. I respect good charactor. Until I learn otherwise I still stand firm with hargis's article and believe it to be true due to the huge reaction and fire that it drew from Hart. I still think Hart has a huge ego and blew the deal out of contempt for the boosters. Again I may be wrong, but waiting to hear what leaks out in days to come. Just remember its easy to believe info from good trusting people, but not always easy to predict how everyone involved will react. I believe info was good but things got crazy in the end. Keep your head up, your good man!
