All those leaving coupled with this recruiting class spells complete disaster for Jones. I'm telling you boys, he's on borrowed time. Unless he can somehow learn to coach by August we are looking for a new coach this time next year. Sucks being a vols fan

Tried ignoring you...can't for some reason. Since that didn't work, I will politely ask that you don't post in this thread again. Thank you.

The last part of that Perry nugget sounds like some slant from Brice.

The time frame of Perry's academic woes would've ruled him out of baseball depending on when they first showed up (he'd have had summer school to see if he could make it in for football even as he started to struggle earlier) but Brice made it sound like he was lied to. Don't think Perry would've stayed all semester on his own dime had that been the case. More likely other stuff is going on with him, including the desire to play baseball.

I don't know if this is so or not, but I get the sneaking suspicion that for whatever reasons the powers at be don't like anyone with strong Tennessee ties or emotional attachment for AD or Chancellor. It seems like they prefer the cold, sterile leadership of a non-attached outsider to keep things strictly business. I don't know if there's anything to that or not, but it sure feels that way. I do know that if the Blackburn fellow doesn't get the job there will be a volnation and twitter meltdown.

I can vouch for this being 100 percent true from the academic side but I can't vouch if the attitude goes that far outside of a lot of academic departments not really wanting to hire their own grads (at least until they've gone away for awhile).
 
Yep. Liberal elitist school of thought that is taking over that university it seems. Nobody who is from Tennessee could possibly be smart enough to be in charge at Tennessee.

I usually agree with your posts but at this I genuinely laughed. And note, it is pretty common that depts. don't like hiring grads because of prior attachments and the notion that it's good for grads to get experience elsewhere before they return (UT is far from the only school that operates that way). The idea of UT being a bastion of liberalism is downright hilarious tho.

Knoxville media is THE absolute worst

There is one reporter who hangs out on a closed UT board that is pretty much on the level of troll board or the vol version 4chan. He's the one that got goaded into asking about "Punch-gate" (several posters said yeah we heard that and those were his sources -- they were messing with him and had a good laugh about him actually bringing that up). This season they did it to him again with another equally absurd topic that never should've been brought up but they praised him as being the only reporter with 'balls.' That's what passes for media and gets press credentials around here so forgive me if I have a very dim view of most Knoxville media, particularly sports related media.

No forgiveness necessary.

I'm really disappointed in John Brice.

It's sad that he's gone that route of adding his negative slant with an obvious ax to grind.
