Kiffin has so many red flags. He’s been fired three times during the season — twice in September (!) and once days before the national championship game (!). He makes enemies everywhere he goes, including Tennessee. Houston Nutt wiped the floor with him, as did Neuheisel, who know makes a living off of corny pre-game sideshows in CBS. He went 6-7 here, got half his team arrested, wrecked his Lexus, brought the NCAA to town and torched our program with his January exit — and now he’s hanging out in Florida trolling us on Twitter about it between interviews with Chris Low and Clay Travis. What a joke.

Plus..Just to add a little thought to your overwhelmingly brilliant post...The national media is fapping at the thought of all the mockery they can rain down us for rehiring a guy who shat all over us in such a humiliating way.

I am just so disappointed.

This is not my university. It’s a shell of its former self.

And to rebuild it feels exhausting and impossible.

Yuck.

You aren’t kidding. I keep telling myself it will be worth it when we get back but man that feels forever away at this point.

I mean this is the truest statement of all time.

Luckily we have a fan base that actually cared and stopped the hiring of Greg Schiano. and finally stopped the Haslams from getting there way this once.

Hopefully the Haslams don't revolt and try to get their way again.

Like it is so clear that the Haslam are the problem.

I majored in Psychology. Everything about this points to the Halsams be egotistical and desiring power. Everything.

Seriously their desire for Power overrides their desire for the University of Tennessee to be great.

They will not back down. They will not surrender. Trust me I know this type. My dad unfortunately is this type of person. I have grown up around this type of person most of my life. Nothing will change until we rid our selves of them. LWS was not lying people. like seriously we are doomed while they have power.

I hated Kiffin at the time. I think he has grown up and I expect to be in the minority there and with my opinion.

But I am a sad pathetic fan for wanting Kiffin back? Come on Ron I have a different opinion. Come on man.

I’m not trying to hurt your feelings man. But yes, it’s pathetic to want him back. It’s like the battered wife who wont leave her abusive husband. Stop it and have some self respect.

Seriously, take Petrino. He's probably the best guy we can get right now and he'll win. The media is already excoriating us. So I say we Gaulden all of 'em and hire somebody who's going to whip this program back in shape. Nothing would please Petrino more than to win the SEC and shove it at everyone who ridiculed him. Doubt Tennessee will make a bold move... but we should.

No thanks.

UT doesn't just need a coach here guys. We need a complete rebranding. We need a guy that unites the fanbase through likely bad seasons to come. He also needs to be sellable as a favorable media figure.
There aren't many of those guys laying around in a sport where guys like Schiano are heralded as high charachter guys.

Tee is about it for this program right now.

Closest likely comparison in a worst case scenario for Tee is Derek Mason.

Say what you want about Derek Mason but Media and players like the guy and he has beat our ass. He has struggled like hell and is learning on the job, but we know Tee can recruit better and should have a better staff.

I had to put the tablet down and go throw up. Mason is a punk.

He's the AD for the foreseeable future. It's insane. The guy tried to sneak around and force Greg Schiano on us while working in cahoots with Jimmy Haslam and lying to other big boosters. And he's still going to be the guy in charge of all UT athletics moving forward. He will make more firing and hiring decisions.

Insane. Absolutely insane.

It is almost surreal in it's insanity.

If you could have Butch's staff from 2015 (including Dave Lawson and Butch pre-2015 coaching philosophy meltdown) locked in and ready to go for 2018, would you take it given where we are at right now?

I'm telling yall. After this is over and we hire Coach Randy McRandom, Tee is going to say he was never contacted but wanted the job.

Feel the same. The fanbase made its only play yesterday out of absolute desperation. It has changed nothing. Haslam is still in charge. Currie is still AD (and appears to be unfireable). The rest of our administration is still incompetent.

And for some reason, the national media has chosen to make a martyr of a Greg Schiano, for the sole purpose of kicking us while we're down.

I don't know. I said earlier that I'm close to giving up. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
Go Vols.
