I tell you what, Les Miles better have killed a hooker or something if we're not contacting him.

And even then, I'd want to know if it was accidental if the alternative is Steele, Doeren, or Fedora.

I am still a diehard fan.

I can’t change it. I’ve tried.

I’m a lifer.

I get the rationalization, but fan of what at this point? Fan of losing and humiliating ourselves nationally? What will there be to cheer on next season when we have some F-rated coach and staff on the sidelines, quite possibly worse than the one we had this season? I genuinely feel horrible for the current student athletes we still have on the roster, but have you seen our schedule next season? It will be worse than this season. Maybe worse no matter what coach we have.... They are not going to bring in instant upgraded talent with them... the damage has been done with Butch and it will take 2 yrs min to get back what we lost and that's IF we have a good coach...

I just cannot believe they won't consider this. It's such a no brainer.

I think its more that the boosters cannot control Les the way they want to than the university not considering him.

Had Haslam gotten out of the way we would be talking about Coach Mullen right now. I truly believe this.

You mean Haslam when you say boosters?

Seriously, how does Currie keep his job after this? Every football fan at my work (no matter who team they are a fan of) is asking that question.

Same. People who are moderate football fans laugh and ask me how our AD still has a job. Many of these same people view Tennessee as being on the same level as a Kentucky/Vanderbilt. Unreal how far this program has fallen.

I want to offer a piece of sincere advice to those who seriously want to try to unplug after this is over with.

After the Oklahoma and Florida games in 2015 (I attended the UF game), I decided that the healthiest course of action was to quite literally cut myself off for a week and just watch the games without obsessing over every little thing going on. I stopped watching a lot of football. I didn't check any message boards (even this one, which is my safe space). I didn't read about football.

When we lost to Arkansas the next week, I watched, and, while disappointed, I was not at all devastated. Cutting myself off cold turkey and focusing my attention on other things had made it much easier to bear. I got back on after Georgia and kinda rode that train until South Carolina last year, and I'm prepared to do it again if I need to.

The best thing you can do is to pretend like it doesn't even exist, if you truly want to unplug. By all means, watch the games when they're on (I probably will), but don't spend any of your time during the week reading about football, on message boards or otherwise.
