Glad you noticed. But I was being serious. The amount of people who are privy to inside knowledge is astounding, so either you all have the same source or there are a lot of loose lips.

I can tell you that 2 of us do have the same source, we just didn't know it until all of this started. Several if the others have sources in the same circles. Knoxville is a small city, with a lot of former students. The business community is full of alumni and lettermen. This is really not rocket science, its networking and friendships.

I'm not an insider by any stretch. But I do know some, either personally or on a business level that are.

I will just say this and then call it a night. I realize that in the grand scheme it means nothing, but if Dooley is coaching here next season I will not spend another dime on anything Tennessee. I will pull for my team from my couch. I will not drive six hours and drop money on tickets or a hotel room. The absolute crap that Dooley displays is an embarrassment and not worth it. If Dooley returns it sends a clear message that the powers that be at UT do not give a rats ass about winning. Anyone that hopes for this just so they can come on a message board and crow about being right is a loser P.O.S.
With that, I bid you all a goodnight.

As most on here who have read my comments know I agree with you 100%. Of course you will be attacked by those with the "true fan" card, but true fans want the best for UT and are not willing to settle for mediocrity. Also most of your attackers will not be UT fans first but dooley fans first. I have never understood why some on here place dooley above UT and the program. Thanks for keeping the faith.

Hubbs just moved into a new home located at 1664 Kingston Pike.

Hubbs said earlier, the AD is very unhappy with the performance of our football team and could see them making a change. If they do, they would "Make Gruden tell them no." But for now, Corch Derek Doolies is our coach.

Just paraphrasing.

I'm not doubting you all know something. But for some of the information that has come out, if true, someone close to the situation has been talking.

Exactly! The head in sand fans are the most dangerous. If you blindly go to that stadium and spend your money without question then you are part of the problem.

From Basillio TIFWIW

There are NO OTHER names on UT's WISH LIST at this point. I believe we are in the midst of the Jon Gruden courting season during which sources say he's already had a couple of 2+ hour conversations with the power of the power players at UT.

Happened just like I was told.

Lots of people have. That is why the guys in this thread who have shared info have been so confident on the timeline of events so far....we have compared our info from different sources. It's all lined up pretty well.

Always funny to me that people think an athletic department can do what the friggin's CIA has never been able to do which is keep a secret! Humans will always behave as humans.

Yeah his info is always groundbreaking. This whole endeavor has illustrated clearly for me how clueless, or controlled, our local sports media actually is.

He makes a living out of this stuff, he doesn't have to be groundbreaking. He just has to be correct. Too much false info makes your money flow dwindle, he plays it safe cause he isn't taking a chance on his honey pot.
