Recruiting Forum Football Talk LVIII

[Bassmaster_Vol]

So... They fired her primarily for her poor communication skills and then proceeded to appoint her as a professor with tenure within the COMMUNICATION department. You can't make this stuff up.

Lack of communication skills is cited as a reason for the demotion...and they are placing her among the faculty of the Communications Department.

Edit: Swanson'd by Bass!

Fulmer is tied to Joe D, who is doing HoH's bidding until he retires. The 4 year contract tells all of us he is fine, just tied to CJP and the success of the program. So how it goes is how he goes.

 

[itsme]

Will they go after Fulmer next?

If they do that I will be done with the University of Tennessee until the Haslems are no more.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

If the alumni and fans don't stand up to Haslam via our response, getting the truth out to the media- they are going to destroy this university. Forget football and every other sport they have already messed up. They want to control everything and get Bill as president. It is us and Fulmer against all of them it appears. What a nightmare.

Are there any other airports that you guys would fly into that are close(ish) to Knoxville outside of Nashville?

Chattanooga maybe

 

[RikidyBones]

The leadership at this university is insanely idiotic.

Delta options out of Atlanta are endless. Where are you flying to?

Trying to come out real quick for the UTEP game and just looking for the cheapest flight but I'm not familiar with the other airports around besides ATL.

Looks like you can get a direct from ATL to El Paso on Delta. Not sure about cheapest, but that's the quickest. Any Southwest flight through BNA would go to Dallas Love first.

Really nothing else. I have never flown into Chattanooga, but I doubt you find a nonstop flight into there.

Yeah couldn't find anything there. Might just fly frontier to ATL, looks like the cheapest option.

UTEP game is at home.

Are you in Phoenix? You might compare Frontier with Southwest.

Southwest flies into Phoenix and Nashville.

 

[BigZiti09]

Her termination letter pretty much says she was against the UT powers that be.

UTK is a complete and total sh*t show.

Yup I'm in Phx. Just trying to be frugal because I'm going to the Vandy game as well.

You laugh but they hired the previous Superintendent of Knox County Schools who failed miserably as head of the school of school leadership

I hope she goes straight to the media and tells them the truth about this family- no holding back.

Insulting to point out that our 'suffering' is a first world problem? You insult pretty easy. Sounds pretty first world.

Like I said, it’s wrong to put the third world “suffering” you ranted about in the same context as what Pruitt was replying about fan “suffering”. You did that, not me. Anyone with an IQ over 50 understands the difference. Whether you meant to or not, at best it is unbelievably stupid, at worst flat insulting.

 

[Aesius]

We'll probably end up with someone worse than Butch Jones or Dave Doeren if Pruitt doesn't work out. I used to scoff at the notion of "no one will want to come here because UT is toxic!"

That was generally said in regards to the fanbase, but it's absolutely true about the administration. If we're back to being the University of Haslam with their stooges as university president, chancellor, and AD, we can forget about ever being relevant in football as long as Jimmy and Bill are alive. No decent coach will touch this job. We'll have to get extremely lucky and pick a solid up-and-comer, but that's not really even their MO. They'll pick some guy who goes 8-4 at a mid-major instead.

 

[JAllen18]

So half of these issues DiPietro raises have to do with being an ineffective (and even poor) communicator, with multiple people reporting this to DiPietro, but they're going to put her in the College of Communication and Information to teach students how to communicate?

How else can you spin this on the Haslams?

 

[Rishvol]

I feel like I've read that somewhere
