Well said Coasty! None of them owe an anonymous internet Board anything.

Some people just aren't satisfied until they have pissed in someone elses Wheaties.. They strike me as being so miserable that other peoples happiness causes them pain..

I thought Brent Hubbs was going to ask Butch at his presser about Kendrick's possible concussion... did he or anyone ask and if so, what was Butch's response?
 
Let's make two assumptions.

1. Last night they finalized the Gruden hire.
2. They have a very strong desire to keep the decision secret.

What would you expect to hear from the insiders?

So if we lose Sat what are odds Lyle still coaching next week 50-50?..

IMO, he gone (and I believe this will be his last game regardless:

1) cannot discount the Freudian slip “final game in his press conference

2) you cannot lose to Southern Miss, during
Homecoming, to go 3-6, with LSU still on the schedule, and expect to still be the coach

Then again, losing to South Carolina and Kentucky should have been the final act

You betcha....sat up watching his practice clips until after midnight. He called me late after a second film session last night. I'm really excited for Saturday....which is more than a lot of people on here get this season.

Definitely keep us posted.

As just someone who mostly watches, I’d say 100%. I wouldn’t mind being wrong, but I think there’s too much evidence pointing to him finishing the season regardless of W/L. Now if he screws up again, ie the BK situation.....
 
I have tried to accept everyone as honest, but also tried to be skeptical enough to know that anyone can be a troll.... but because I have taken this view point and have not taken any ones word as gospel I have been able to have what I think is a clear view of things.... If one turns out false I look at the whole.... it doesn't destroy me.

This was never going to happen overnight.... let it play out has been my viewpoint.... Having said that I will always reserve the right to question a post when it seems to contradict a previous one

Good way of processing info
 
Grude morning, all!

In my humble, un-insider opinion, it actually provides the final link in what he's been trying to establish. He is serving as the bridge between Currie and the passionate fans (us). He came here, dropped enough interesting tidbits and established credibility. Then slowly dropped hints of the power struggle. Finally, after getting us all fired up, he connects us with Currie via the tweets. If the tweets are accurate, and I'm assuming they are, then Currie knows the inner struggle is at least part of the public rumor mill even if he's not following VN.

The tweets, even for beav' limited followers, made it to us as he knew they would. Currie knows who beaver is or at least a general who he is. The tweets were also made public to those following Currie, planting seeds of doubt.


Interesting perspective...

We are fairly certain that Gruden is in, the academic side is in, and at least 85% of the boosters are in.

If Haslam is the holdup, and it appears he is, Currie is boxed in from all sides.
Perhaps he would try and communicate to get the masses involved.

My opinion only but I think CPF has more to do with Butch still being here than anyone. I also think with the concussion issue that Currie's hand is being forced. He may not be able to keep Butch till the end of the season just to cover the University.

Congrats Boro. What style offense do they run? Did he get the old mans wheels or is he mobile? Lol.
 
Coasty,
I don’t know your age, obviously.
Nunya my bidness.
But, your Mad mag avatar makes me think u r prob not a millennial.
So, if you have a little age on you as I do with our beloved Vols, you are just shaking your head in amazement of how the University that we love can continue to be so incompetent.
Your posts always intrigue me because they are well written.
That makes me think you’ve got some brain cells.
Anyway, what is your best guess (gun to your head kind of thing) answer to these 2 questions.

1: What day will Butch be let go?
2. Who will we get....name up to 3 in order, please.

Thanks, man.
P.s. please don’t let some jerks run you off. This site needs the analysis and Vol devotion that you bring.


Thank you for such kind words... none of which I deserve... Yeah let's just say I am old enough to remember watching Walter Chadwick play .. lol and boy did I love to see Dewey Warren stand in the pocket... we never saw that at UT before him iirc.. anyway your question

I think that the AD wants to keep Butch until the end of the season.... this became evident to me after the Kentucky loss... (he should have been let go no later than that game imo). ....When he actually lets him go depends on how nasty this Kendrick deal gets... I do believe it has some legs, so only time will tell. That is a very fluid situation ... could be a lot quicker than AD wanted..we will see

As far as who do I want.... well I think we have dropped so low on the totem pole that only a BIG name coach can help us to recover what this great University should be and once was. So my choices are based on this thought and may not reflect the same as the AD's

1. Gruden
2. Kelly
3. Stoops


PS//// By the way, this thing with Gruden reminds me of the latter years of Bill Battle, there was a lot of rumbling for year from boosters that wanted Coach Majors.... it took several years but the Administration finally gave in.... Maybe history will repeat itself

That is awesome!

Did Butch ever respond about the possible concussion to Kendrick?

Absolutely nothing...they want this to blow the doors off everything else. Can they keep it quiet through Homecoming?
