I have already seen enough, she has burned the program down just to save 12 mil. She's gonna cost us 100's of mill over that. She is an idiot.

They ain’t why she burned it down.
She burned it down with pressure from haslam for them to regain control

 

[TrippieRedd]

Can’t wait to see our line next year lol

LT - Mays
LG - Spragg
C - Mays
RG - Carvin
RY - Wright (if he stays)

What y’all think? Am I missing anyone obvious?

Friday? Traditionally the last day of the work week.

That clears it up. Thanks.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

I have reason to believe Boyd, Plowman and another person are in the air going to meet with a prospective AD as I type this.

Scramble the jets!

 

[Batman1948]

All people had to do was give the guy another year with a regular offseason to see if he was able to turn the program around. If not everyone gets their wish and public perception is much more positive. Instead we suicided our program to save money and push out a HC and AD. No talent will stick around and we will have a Vandy level recruiting class. Why the boosters, administration, and fan base wanted this, I’ll never know, but Plowman just delivered the death blow.

The best part is I still see sheep in here dropping Campbell, Bob Stoops, Lincoln Riley, etc as possible hires.

You're forgetting about the investigation. He had to go

 

[Wickman]

RB room is the one area I'm least worried about atm

EG is our best player and it isn’t particularly close. Sucks losing him. Everyone else,

Just saw a picture of Scott Carter. 100% sure he's the one I was thinking of from Halls. Great running back, was supposed to play for my HS team but he moved out to Halls, but that's another story for another time.

 

[Volsdeep4]

names please.

And if anyone wants to catch me up since 10:00 am yesterday, that would be swell.

Henry t
Eric gray
Wanya morris
Jahmir johnson
Q Crouch

 

[KB5252]

When did Henry move to QB?

I thought Simon was being looked at for lb

 

[volbeast33]

I don’t think you understand the purpose of hiring outside counsel who specialize in this field. The Glazier Firm gets paid rates up to $500/hr to advise universities on how to achieve the best outcome with the least amount of impact on the school. They are both counsel and advocates for the university, not the NCAA. This is how the Glazier Firm advised Tennessee on how to proceed, so Tennessee followed that counsel.

If you think you can give better advice to universities on how to manage the NCAA, I’d encourage you to market your expert services. I hear it pays very well.

Can you give me one example where the glazier firm helped a university turn themselves in and the NCAA went easy on them..... I wouldn’t make much..... my advice is to tell the NCAA FU.... we didn’t do nuthin...... as for my advice for tenn..... it would have been do a coaching/AD search on the sly..... fire Pruitt at end of season for 3 -7 record..... immediately name new coach and staff.... work to finish recruiting and recruit players on campus.... cover up any improprieties Pruitt and staff was involved in.... dont report anything except maybe a few secondary violations.

 

[KB5252]

When did Henry move to QB?

My bad I see it now, was a typo

 

[Blake25p]

He can’t play here anymore. He’s a big part of the investigation.

Probably right

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Plowman is #1 on my hate list. She will go down as the worst hire in UT history.

Opinions vary, we will see.

 

[Dooby15]

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No way Franklin has a chance after the rape deal at Vandy that’s worse than Freeze or Kiffin

Ironic that he is at Penn State isn't it? The fact that they hired him and got away with it without being crucified still blows my mind..

 

[daugag02]

The Henry T transfer makes no sense if eligibility is not at issue.

He's got one year left with a very strong chance he won't be able to play this fall because of the waiver issue.

He's going to be learning a new scheme no matter what. Staying at UT guarantees that he (a) is eligible and (b) has the starting job.

 

[84Volfan]

EG is our best player and it isn’t particularly close. Sucks losing him. Everyone else,

He wasn't staying after next season anyways....21' was going to be rough with or without him

 

[BruinVol]

He can’t play here anymore. He’s a big part of the investigation.

If he can’t play here he can’t play anywhere

 

[nicksjuzunk]

HT and Crouch

Well gee. That's... swell.

 

[jakez4ut]

I agree with cleaning the slate. Most of us feel that was the right decision, and there's still a bit more cleaning to come. And no question, Boyd was involved as was John Compton. Others were kept more in the dark.

But let me ask you this: do you think with all the blatant, sloppy, egregious cheating running rampant throughout the program, carried out in plain sight and shocking enough to necessitate the termination of half the staff-- with all that, we're supposed to believe nobody above Fulmer had a clue what was going on? The buck stopped there, and it was innocence, virtue and high principles above Fulmer and Pruitt?

It's sausagemaking at any bigtime program where it's win at all costs. None of the UT power trio are new kids on the block. It happened on their watch, and they know how winning programs win. Did they think they ran the only clean program in the SEC? Were they oblivious... indifferent... or willing to look the other way until it suited their purposes not to?

"lack of institutional control".
That's what it was about.
















And we suuuucked.

 

[Devo182]

Keep Salter and the incoming possibilities of Simpson/Horn...they may be worth all these position guys combined. A great QB accelerates a rebuild like nothing else.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Dig a little deeper I’m sure more than just this handful received $$$

Quit digging

 

[IhateGA]

Her hands were tied when the leak came to her....she could not have turned the other way. This is not on her.

She could have handled this investigation much different instead of opening everything up for the NCAA to walk in and not even have to do work to give us the Death penalty. She has killed the program. We will not get a good AD or Coach to come to this mess.

 

[I4Jay]

Addition by subtraction. Give me kids that I can root for and Ill keep rooting

Exactly. That’s who I’m here for.
talent comes and goes.
the guys who left, were just guys (excluding Gray)

They werent game changers.
Henry T showed promise his Freshman but this year he was no show. Crouch and whoever else, unless y’all going group of 5 schools, where y’all gonna start?
