I'm afraid as long as the Haslams keep flowing money into the University, very few changes will be made. :dry:

This. People need to understand you're not going to get what you want as long as the Haslams ride roughshod over the AD. This is where the fight needs to be focused. An unrelenting PR nightmare for the admin until the Haslams are removed from their position of influence..

You’re apparently a woman based on your comments. I apologize for my insensitive comment earlier. If you’re not a woman, I’m still sorry because it was insulting to women anyway. But I stand by my comment that you need to be blaming Currie and Haslam. Even Brice as of today said people in the AD knew there was no way Schiano was coming here yet he went out and betrayed all of us. They are trolls and liars if the predicted Gruden was coming and then Gruden said no and everything they said wasn’t true. This isn’t a matter of them lying. It’s all of us being lied to.

Why dies gender matter? It’s just pretty obvious we were mislead, right?

It's over. IT'S OVER. I don't need to see any posts about Gruden and his MOU or contract which I one billion percent believe never existed.

Now we are the punching bag for all the national media who said Tennessee isn't an elite job. They obvs are right.

Sickening.

Can we cut the blaming (well-placed or not) and fighting and figure out where to go from here? I mean, what even is supposed to happen tomorrow?

From day 1, I’ve been consistent in saying Gruden was coming and that it was a matter of timing. I’m man enough to admit my info was wrong and I cannot make sense of any of this, so I won’t attempt to connect all the dots of the last 24 hours.

I never stated that a contract was signed, and have remained skeptical toward those who claim that happened and gave a date. But I was given (from very trustworthy people) info that gave me extreme confidence this was happening. I’ve stated my connection (married into a prominent UT family you’re all familiar with) and I am just as dumbfounded as many on here. I apologize to those whom I misled. In the future, I will be much more hesitant to post what I hear, but I was simply trying to pass along what I believed to be true information.

I’m concerned for the future of UT Football. I’m not sure how Currie survives this. I’m not sure what coach would want to be a part of this mess. I’m not sure what recruits want to join this.

Lastly, what’s clear is that there are no insiders in this search. It’s been the John Currie Show. Atlanta said he loved option 1, but option 2 was a great option as well. No way he was talking about Schiano. LWS said 60% Petersen. No one knows. Not even Fulmer apparently. Currie has dug his own grave.

A deep grave imo. I don't think he realizes how bad he's botched this hire. The Fanbase was successful in staving off a disastrous hire in Schiano, but it leaves us holding the bag I think.

UT boosters big and small..

I do not want a football coach yet. I want John Currie fired. I want Beverly Davenport fired. Let Fulmer be interim AD/give him the job or hire Blackburn.

Get the Haslams as far away from UT as you can. Sick of the imcompetence of this family.

Dude, you're letting a small minority influence you. The vast majority of people on this site appreciate your contribution. We'll get thru this and be better for it with the info you can provide. Grude on, dude!

It's just a guy thing...not saying it's right. Think about it like this, when you and your girl friends get together and talk, it's the equivalent of calling another woman a dirty, hairy, caveman with a tiny weewee. That's the best I got. :)

lol, OK.

I will make a note of this for the next time: "a.. dirty.. hairy.. caveman... with..."

Well, it's a change from the rest of my notes on my phone which involve shopping lists and investments!

Man...bunch of internet tough guy keyboard warriors in here.

I believe your frustration /anger is being misdirected.

Self-reflection is your friend.

Understanding the inner workings of boosters with their names on buildings is the friend of most of the angry people on here. Fans who want excellence aren't the problem.

What’s your phone number? Want me to call you? You can’t sit there and act like we weren’t mislead. I never called you you bc you are respectful and rational unlike others on this board.

If I responded to you in error I apologize.

You're off base however, on the several others. You've not been active in this thread prior to now....so why the angst?

Lets stop with the internal fighting please. We did something incredible today. We came together as a fanbase and prevented a DISASTER. We need to come together and hopefully support the new coach. We got rid of uncle funny touch, let's hope things work out.

you raise a very interesting point rocket. Today we united as a fan base , our voice was heard and change was inacted. If we could get behind a reasonable candidate and make our voices heard again then it might prevent the hiring of Horatio GoogleSmear III. Problem is we can only agree on who we don't want, not on who we do want .

No hard feelings, you were just passing along what you heard. Like I said before, I truly think Gruden was interested but haslam shut that down because he wanted a yes man in Schiano.

So everybody made you follow and believe? It's a message board, get over it and get a life. It is not the end of the world.
