Like I said before, Revolutions usually fail.

That's the nature of the beast. History bears this out again and again and again. Most revolutions fail.

Locally, we fired Fulmer: we started a revolution. Since then, we've had the worst football at UT anyone in history has ever seen.

We run off Cuonzo: it's a revolution. Starting from scratch. We're worse off now than we've been in a long, long time.

To not think this is scorched earth territory is wishful thinking.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope Tyndall gets this rolling right here and now. Unfortunately, I think it's gonna be awhile.

I hate it for JRich.

The American Revolution was the exception to the rule. Revolutions are based on the premise change never comes from the top down.

I admire the south being from the west. The south is the only place where American values still exist.

Many argue that the American "Revolution" wasn't a revolution at all because nothing changed much about the underlying structures. We already had courts and local autonomy and democracy and a parliament and so what happened in the US was a natural progression rather than a massive interruption in how things worked (Think the French Revolution or Post-invasion Iraq). Not to say that the US didn't progress things, but that it was not a massively huge paradigm shift. Now some might argue that 1787 fundamentally changed things. Maybe so. But I'd equate the US Revolution 76 to the change from Majors to Fulmer.

But now we're going through a radical, revolutionary shift. We're losing an entire recruiting class and changing an entire philosophy top down. We're going from Fulmer to Kiffin. Sometimes, rarely, it works out. Even Saban took two years to get rolling and he's the best, right?

Your solution?...Quit being racist all over the place and?...oh yeah!...hire eye candy coaches...the X's and O's will work themselves out? :good!:

Ha...good stuff.

I never pretended to have a solution...just stating some observations about the perception of our program at this point.

However, if I did pretend to have a solution, it would start with spending the $ we need to in order to attract a top-notch, proven coach. Otherwise, we are rolling the dice with every hire and hoping it works out well.

Like I said before I wasn't a Cuonzo lover. I could make a list of twenty coaches I would rather have. With Pearl number one with a bullet. But you don't run off a coach who makes the sweet sixteen. It isn't done. The whole situation was a fiasco. Him taking his name out of the running for Marquette then saying Tennessee was where he wanted to stay. Then the most blatant bargain basement coaching search. looking for the lowest cost coach they could find. losing an entire recruiting class. Add to that Tyndall looks like Chazz Bono's less masculine brother. The stupid petition. You couldn't make this crap up. Not to mention we hired a coach who committed worse violations then what Pearl did.

Does everyone forget that Pearl was a jew. A race that gets discriminated way worse than blacks.

The guy said that because of what happened with Martin that the rest of the country now views us as racist.

I pointed out that they already did.

Wtf are you saying?

I'm saying that the rest of the country seems to like the south so much that they visit, spend vacations, and sometimes move their families here. I dont think that would be the case if they thought we were all a bunch or trailer park, imbred, racists.

not even close. There is a very real distinction between the race someone is born and the belief system they choose to believe in.

So, it's okay that Jewish people suffered all they have because they had a choice?
I think his point was about a certain group of people's suffering and all you got from it was that he called Jewish people a race?

I think they do. I think they move here because the relatively low cost of living. Company's come here for the low taxes and gifts out cities provide. People visit places that are beautiful and we have plenty of those.

we simply disagree on what the rest of the country s perception of us is.that's cool...

yes clearly I think it's ok because I called out his ignorant statement. Solid point sparky

what I took from it was he doesn't have a clue what constitutes a race. Makes the rest of his posts irrelevant
