Ok, to me it's simple. When the loss of revenue surpasses what the Haslams give then it's time to kick them to the curb. You may think that's a lot of money but it's really not in the grand scheme of thing.

I'm pulling numbers out of my backside but a loss of 20 season ticket holders could result in a loss of $40mil in revenue alone each year if you count the minimum donation. If you take into account many donate more than the minimum I would think the number could be higher. The you take the bigger downers the ones in the boxes, you could see substantial additional losses there if they walk away or cut back. Then look at capital campaigns like the Renoations to Neyland. I would think it would be a hard time raising funds for those projects as well.

I think for a power shift over there to occur it would take something massive like this to take place. Sometimes you have to bulldoze it down before you can build back. I think it's highly unlikely for this to occur. My hope is that the Haslams get exposed and they are forced to back down due to public pressure. They do want Bill installed in DePietro's spot so if it becomes common knowledge that the Haslam mafia is in charge it may become hard for a new governor to make that appointment.

Thank you for the well reasoned response.
I hope that you will support #NoMoreHaslamHires.
Go Vols!

Unless the hire is Tee, the athletic department is about to lose a colossal amount of money. At least the next few seasons.

I am up for taking a chance on Tee. I understand the concerns, but I think he would try and hire Steele and with Fulmer around, he would have two older guys around him with plenty of experience to help.

Tee wouldn't just be out there on his own.

I doubt anyone disagrees with the spirit of your point. I am curious about your opinion.


Who is the great hire we should push for?

Who should we not push for?

And do you think anyone in this AD cares what we say here?

Well I would say let level heads prevail
We have seen their initial intention but it failed
I think we know some were not happy with what was going to happen and leaked it out...
I said multiple times that I believed Currie had in his mind who he wanted before firing Butch
But we are past that now...and I think the imput of those who were disgruntled will have some input now...
Give it a little time and people will make contact with the administration....I am looking in the Pro direction but either way I actually think we will probably get a better coach...
We can see where we are at as we head toward this weekend...make sure we actually want who we pick

Chad Morris Should Be Texas A&M’s Top Target | The Big Lead

Since taking the SMU job, Morris’ team has improved dramatically every season. The Mustangs went 2-10 in 2015, 5-7 in 2016 and just finished a 7-5 season. This season, SMU finished 12th in the country in offensive yards per game (494) and eighth in points per game (40.2).

With SMU-level talent, the 48-year-old Morris has created an offensive juggernaut in Dallas. The vast improvements the program has made under his direction also speak to his abilities outside of just managing the offense.

Hopefully Jimbo takes the A&M job so we can hire Morris.

It’s amazing that things reached defcon 1 and there’s still no urgency or planning. Baffling the arrogance of Currie. Incredible the grip Haslam has.

I think Haslam/Currie will intentionally sabotage this hire to stick it in the face of Vol fans. They fully intend to give us the double barreled Gaulden.

The easiest hire in the world is going and getting taggart. He called us and we of course ignored him. Although I guess at the end of the day we ignored everyone but schitano. #FireCurrie

Who would be the worst hire given the names we have out there right now? Pruitt? That's who they'll hire.

I bet Haslam doesn't see Pruitt as a guy that would suck up to him, so he probably doesn't get much consideration.

Haslam wants people that will call and discuss the games with him afterwards. I think Pruitt would tell him to pound sand.
