Here's a post from another VOLS Board. This is the actual text of the post. The poster allegedly received a call from an unidentified VOLS players' dad. The VOLS dad is a friend of the poster.

Rumors, so please do not read; I am not the NY Times!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I treat this board like an old fashioned phone with 8 other parties on the line like mom and dad had as tenant farmers in 1945 in Batesville, Miss(that's Panola County!
. Thus, I do not require two or more folks to verify same.
I heard so much stuff this week end, most all of it discouraging, that I only posted the positive, as perceived by some of UT's National Alumni Association leaders, re: AD Mike Hamilton's decision NOT to give a large salary increase to CPF's asst coaches last year.
A father of a UT player just called and said: "Have you heard?" I said about Memphis and Tommy West pr problems with DeAngelo?? He said no. I said "About Bush falling further in the polls?" He said "Hell no, get serious, this is about UT!"
He said "The rumor going around all around the team in the locker room getting ready for this afternoon's practice is that Slade and Stephens are definitely resigning after the season." I said, shocked, amazed, "Are you s_____g me!"
He said further that yesterday on the practice field Eric Ainge was talking to a group of the players and said "If Coach Cutcliffe is the offensive coordinator, then I will stay, but if he isn't, I'm probably out of here."
Editorial comment-I guess he had heard that Cutcliffe coached both Peyton and Eli and since he and Peyton are close, Peyton must have had positive things to say to him about Coach Cutcliffe!!
Please, these are unsubstantiated rumors but from a father so I have no reason to doubt these statements NOW-but, as in recruiting, a prospect can change his mind so I wouldn't be running down to Tunica to place a bet on either!!
