Anyone else think it’s a positive that Hubbs is getting aggressive?

Yes, it's a good sign

The players stated they wanted to play for Butch. My opinion he will finish the season.

When did they say that? They haven't played all season

Sr. RB Sepp Shirey -born with cerebral palsy- had an 80 yd TD rush tonight. Well done by Atlee and Varina, as well. @AtleeFootball @NBC12 https://twitter.com/marcdavissports/status/924128165110452224/video/1

I think it’s worse. A lot of Danes will be gone.
Only so much abuse one can take

A lot of fans are already gone. My dad used to go to every home game but he hasn’t been to a game this year and neither have I. I haven’t renewed my alumni donations either. I can remember when getting a ticket to a game was difficult

Anyone else think it’s a positive that Hubbs is getting aggressive?

Absolutely. Hubbs is who will break if when it happens. Hyams is a mouth piece. Swain knows but won’t say. Rucker is a pitbull but not good for breaking news. Travis is too wrapped up in his MSESPN battle to do anything meaningful with this. And basilio is.....basilio.

Keep watching Hubbs.

Aggressive as in his belief in Butch getting another week?

 

[Orange&White]

I'm pissed that we would owe Butch over $8 million in buyout money due to an extension that Hart gave him. He should have never been given that much money or cushion. While we were on the upswing, we still had nothing to show for it. Our winning % versus top 25 and top 10 teams was still abysmal. Now here we are having to clear the obstacle that is Butch's buyout, when it should have never led to that in the first place.

 

[thistime]

I'm 57 years old saw my first game in 1969 and this is right there with Dooley. Battle and the Moving Van was bad but this is comical. Inside info, outside info, the second cousin of a friends aunt that is a realtor, it is unbelievable. We either have the most want-a-be insiders or the most covert intelligent Atheletic Department of all times.

Sounded to me like he was concerned that Florida was stealing a jump on us by parting with Mac so quickly. My belief is that UT is way further down the path to a new coach than UF is.

He just explained it.

I think we're both right. Haha.

I have no clue what's going but like I said this morning. I refuse to believe that nothing is happening, but I do think its messed up that Florida has acted so quickly and here we are.

If we're moving forward in stealth mode, great. But I don't have any facts that's what's happening. I'm not flipping out, just absorbing everything as it happens.

Ole dime store Dave still screwing us over even after he’s gone

Another good sign.
Now it's just a matter of how long they want to drag out the anti-Jones media campaign.

I hope.... but why?

[Kurtastrophe]

How many mattresses am I going to have to burn to get this done?

 

[Kelley_VFL]

TN firing coach.
Florida firing coach.
Texas A&M firing coach.

LSU and Auburn possibly looking for a coach by year end..

That is a lot of big money bidding on the best coaches available. We better get ours early or we may be left holding the sack looking at the left overs.

 

[Hawkpilot]

If it is a "DONE DEAL" there should be ZERO need to put pressure on the administration and why would the Boosters still be doing everything that can... once I have a job DONE.. I stop working on it and go to the next ....... this post confuses me more than the others

I know "I am un-balanced"

I'm only on page 73 catching up. Two things I believe though.

Every poker player tips his hand every one and a while.
A con is always set up to reach a desired result, and is always well planned before hand with the knowledge it could turn into a long game.

You just stated my feelings a lot better than I did.

I am certainly intrigued at what you think may be happening.

There may not be enough in Knoxville is my fear

 

[butchna]

I realize the difference between the two situations.
I'm just pointing out that Florida had a problem and immediately dealt with it.
Now, let's sit back and watch them go out and snag the next Urban Meyer while we probably sit around dealing with a doomed Butch and end up with Dooley 2.0.

If the “next Urban Meyer” is currently coaching, you’re not even going to be able to interview him for the next 3-5 games. I know I know...agents feelers what have you...but the INTERVIEW lands the guy. Texas didn’t even know they would have a job opening until Strong flopped against Kansas. Went and got their guy even tho LSU had a “head start”.
