Hiring a woman seems pretty obvious here. What does a short list of female candidates look like? Anybody that would seem like a home run?

I'm not an insider, but I'll take a crack at this.

First of all, the bit on Tuttle's injury is conjecture, not news. This staff keeps injuries close to the vest so we don't have an actual timetable for him, but it's way too early to get concerned here - he has more than a half-year to heal and rehab.

Second, if Johnson is gone then we're still not in a bad situation. McKenzie and Tuttle are very good starters. Vickers and O'Brien are a very good second string. Picou has talent; just needs to keeping adding good weight. That's a top five that almost all teams would trade for in an instant.

We also have several bigger DE's who can play inside some, either on a situational basis or in case of injury. Barnett has played inside. Kongbo may actually end up inside anyway, depending on how he takes to our nutrition and conditioning programs. Mixon has played inside before. Phillips has the frame to play there some, though he seems unhappy with the idea.

We have options, and we're not in panic mode if Johnson is booted. It DOES, however, put more pressure on us to have an elite haul at DT in this cycle. But we're gonna be alright.

This is exactly what I've been saying. I'm surprised by the panic at depth. Tuttle coming back certainly plays into it. The other four being healthy certainly plays into it, but that would be the case regardless.

Losing Johnson is only worse than losing Picou, and that's debatable seeing as Picou has actually seen practice reps.

Again, it does put more stress on the next class.

What previous problems are you talking about?

One of his charges on the docket is a probation/parole violation revocation hearing. It appears he's had other run-ins with the law. Listed was possession of a controlled substance, refusal of the implied consent law, and something with the drivers license law (I thought maybe he was driving on an out of state license, hadn't gotten a TN one???).

Please no Susan Martin good grief! Who makes that decision? University president or BoT? Now I'm hoping we just keep Cheek and Hart in place at least we know what were getting with those two. Has anyone else with knowledge in the media hinted at a change or is this just Basillio? It would be so Tennessee to put her in charge though. Please let Basillio be off again.

Are you arguing for the sake of having an argument? I've consistently said I believe in due process for everyone.

As far as getting a consent text being a feminist principle, its really quite the opposite. If I'm an athlete I'm saying, "I literally don't trust you not to try and screw me over at some point." Especially if its likely a one night stand.

That's probably the least romantic thing that you could ever say to a girl. Ain't nobody getting any after a request like that.

For the record, I didn't listen to the show today and I don't think Basilio mentioned her by name.

Cheek not being extended has been speculated for a while now.

This is how words get put into people's mouths so I probably should have been more cautious when I brought that to the board. So again, for the record, I didn't say Basilio named her. That was my speculation based on the twitter convo between him and Vol Colonel.

I'm not sure you get the feminist culture. A feminist would be offended that she couldn't be trusted to verbally consent to sex. Anything that puts a man and woman on a different standing is counter to feminist culture.

Also, I never ever said it should be required. I simply suggested it would be a dang good idea.



And no doubt consent can be removed at any time. However, it adds an extra layer of protection against any allegations that may occur later.

I'm not the first one to suggest the notion of consent texts.

I agree.Kinda like Uber you have to approve the ride and price.

You live in a glass case of emotion don't you?

Thanks Big Ziti- I just saw Basillios tweet. Hoping he is wrong on this since it does appear that's who he was referring to without naming her. Almost a "tease" before his Friday blog. Ugh!! Wishing the AD was still under the President. It seems like ever since that change took place it has been one mess after another. Is he is danger of losing his job as well do you think? What might make more sense here is to see what comes of this lawsuit before people start losing jobs actually but in today's environment someone has to be the fall guy.

It is still just speculation at the most. Basilio isn't "reporting" anything as people like to say on this board. June 30 is a long ways away.

UT can't get out of it's own way. Leadership has been weak for a long time.

Condeleeza Rice? I would think she could be really good man or woman.

Everyone has their opinions. Mine is.....I really like her.

I wanted the Republicans to run her for President 8 years ago against what we then thought was going to be Hilary, but turned out to be Obama. I would have voted for her.

Send Cheek off to his retirement and take your chances. Meanwhile every booster should inform every BOT member if Susan Martin is chosen to replace him - NO MORE MONEY!!!
