Some wonder why Haslam would favor having control over the success of the football team. They point to the Browns. "What? Does he want us to be the Browns"? Thing is i'm sure in HIS mind...the Browns are fine. They aren't the dumpster fire everyone thinks they are. Just going through a transition period. I'm sure the Haslams feel in their mind that THEY know what's best for UT. That the university is best off under THEIR influence and control. We could tell him for hours on end how bad their crappy Browns team is...or how bad UT has been under their influence...but they don't see it that way. They think their way is best...even though we're down now...THEY (Haslams) want UT back as a national power...but they are the ones to eventually get us back to that. Imo.

Browns have had 20 QBs in 3 years.

I know people have a lot of trust in LWS, but are we really just gonna cast aside atlanta vol and everything he said? One of these two have to be wrong. and not just wrong, but REALLY wrong.

I'm rolling with AV

All of those names make me gag a little.

I'm Gruden until they fail me....then I'm a Maryville fan. I'll have three more good years of football to occupy me if that's the way it goes.

Me to. I’ll even root for Maryville. Send me a game schedule.

The Browns are currently tanking to get top draft picks. That's why they've started using the "process" term like the 76ers in the NBA. Running an NFL franchise is completely different than college and vastly more difficult.

No offense to LWS

I hope he's very wrong. About the Gruden part. I hope he's right about all the boosters being on the same page

Or not. But hey...here's hoping you get to continue be this smug. It suits you.

Believe me, I want to wrong. Especially about Gruden saying no. But I think Frost is legit.

Also, you’re confusing smug with jaded. But fair enough. My wording was unfair.

If Gruden doesn't want the job why are we all still here then? Either we are being fed a bunch of crap or there is something to all of this, again. I think there is more to it and UT admin as usual wants to temper expectations and be cautious to the point of insanity with these articles of Butch may be fired if we lose the next game... fans are getting wise to their crap and we aren't going to take it anymore. Get this right or those stadium renovations will be seen by about half the expected capacity.

Ah it could mean that JG = "bride" and that he is wanting to much control. Who knows at this point? I can't believe he would let it go this far just to say he's not interested.

Or the bride may be holding back the prize to get a bigger ring

LWS is dishing his thoughts tonight. Claims boosters pulling in the same direction. That Butch is def out after the season. That JG is a no go, based strictly on his opinion and nothing else.

Others are very clearly stating an orchestrated move led by PM and Ergen to introduce VC cash to the AA side. There are varying opinions being voiced regarding Ergen and Haslam by people considered credible. Some are boycotting Pilot(Hutch) while others are def on the Ergen train.

Supposedly, ATL Vol is there and hopefully he’ll bring some info here.

That’s the culmination of a 5 page thread on VQ started by Hutch claiming a booster battle was on.

Is that what is being deleted?

AV has mentioned little regarding Gruden. Actually most of his coach speculation such as the list and today's post specifically said no Gruden.
