Concerned about Southern Miss.

They have 30th ranked run defense which is our best chance to score and we have a real banged up offensive line.

They're also averaging more rushing yards than Kentucky per game, which is our weakness.

Also kinda doubt they turn the ball over 4 times too...

28-21 Vols

at this point cat theres no point in worrying ab anything. They are garbage and they are done. Just sit bakc and watch it unravel even more.
 
They can't do anything till the season is over. We'll have plenty of time to chat with him if we haven't already.

Why do you think that? He could very easily come to an agreement right now. Just wouldn't start until the end of the season.
 
Letting our best realistic chance at making a home run hire slip away to a division rival:

just an average Tuesday for the UTAD.

UT fires Butch for cause.
Butch files lawsuit to obtain buyout money.
Both occur major legal expenses.
Settle now and pay partial buyout.
Win/win

See Jim McElwain vs Florida
 
I’m only posting his timeline cause someone else mentioned it. I think if tn could fire with cause they would have. Immediately
 
Hank, I know you are in the complex, I take it you aren’t hearing any of this?

Coaching search stuff? No idea.
Does butch have a chance to be back? No.
John Currie is well extremely liked by the people under him. That’s all I really know/care about. I trust in John Currie. I saw first hand how well he handled the baseball search.

I’m curious who has reached out to Frost, his agent or other intermediary to gauge his interest in UT? Since anything is possible, wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Manning may have made a call.

I'm thinking both Fulmer and Manning will play a significant role in trying to sell Frost on coming here. I've heard it said that Fulmer is pretty high on him.
 
Off topic, had about 230 little trick or treaters tonight. That was down from past few years.

Give it another 30 and the porch light is off.

Saw a little chucky, I said Go Vols. Kid said huh? 😂

I live in GA so he had no idea.

It’s a widely understood fact inside the building. Low level guys are and QCs are already looking for the next move.

Ok..what about you? What do you do? I mean if you cant say...I understand. Sounds like all the other "in the know" guys.

By the way...I'm just messing, I believe you, but you don't know anything for sure, just like none of the other guys folks call trolls because they report something they hear.

All I know is this..Butch Jones is at best the second worst coach in UT history...and he is still the Head Coach oif the Tennessee Volunteers, and John Currie ain't doin crap as far as I can tell except letting UF get a jump.

If Currie wanted to keep butch around do you not think he would come out and publically go to bat for him? I’ve said the whole time that I have no information as far coaching candidates or whatever. I just knew how the baseball coaching search went and I also know that there are no “insiders” anymore. A couple managers the last few years got busted for being moles. And a former media relations person.

I get it, but I don't have faith in any UT admin puppet like you do. I have zero reason to. I think Currie is going to trot out Coach McGoogle, and UT football is going to continue being a depressing hurtful enterprise for me. That is what they have done and will continue to do imo, I have absolutely zero reason to believe otherwise. Because he made a baseball hire means nothing to me.

Well... This guy broke the Credit Card story for Florida

EXCLUSIVE: Gators punish players for misuse of funds

Which is impressive considering he's a Nashville based radio guy.

Still, no way to know exactly how well connected he is. He could have just been lucky enough to have some connection in Gainseville to someone close to that situation.

Seeing him post that makes me cautiously optimisitic though. If Currie has already worked the buyout out and he's done it this quietly, that's a good (albeit small) sign, IMO.


At this point, you've just gotta hope that Currie is the shadow ninja he was made out to be a few weeks ago and has a handle on everything behind the scenes. Because he's done nothing publicly to inspire any confidence in regards to football thus far at Tennessee.
