Perhaps it's on my end but 3 tries gives me "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. "

Thanks by the way....be good if some would at least try and follow some of the suggestions !

I just hope the next coach will wear orange pants and white top for some away games, is that too much too ask?

I would like to put in my request for the old style helmet for the new coach on the sideline....

They're very multiple...it's one of the reasons for making the change. He's very mobile....unlike myself. If running from wild animal, you'd definitely want me to be your partner.

But if he is the HC tomorrow and his staff overlooks so much as a paper cut there would be huge repercussions, right?

Lets say that it's Saturday night, we just finished playing Southern Miss, and another OLineman has received a concussion, and plays through it. Prior acts or admissions are not admissible as evidence of a subsequent act or omission. In other words, you can't use the Kendrick situation to prove that Butch/staff was LEGALLY negligent in the Southern Miss game.

However, you could use the Kendrick situation to prove some other fact. Try this: "it was UT team pllicy and practice to place the duty to self-diagnose concussions on players."

I want Butch gone as much as anyone. But I don’t think he knowingly neglected Kendrick. I don’t think he’s heartless. Incompetent yes, heartless no.

So I had a dream last night. I met Jon Gruden at some social function and I asked him "soon?" And he told me he wants to be a coach again. And i said "volnation wants you!" And he said "zero chance that happens, I want to be QB coach for the Chargers!" And i looked at him, disappointed, and as he walked away, he turned back to me and mouthed the word "smokescreen"

Soon!!!

I keep looking for the one thing that brings it all together....like why send Beaver in here, why Bubba, why HerefortheGrumors.... why the slow play of all this... Why not just bite the bullet and get it done.

My conclusion... this is NOT a done deal and Haslam and Currie both are obstacles.... Taking Beaver at his word.. and his tweets.. He certainly does NOT believe Currie wants to hire Gruden

That's weird, the search doesn't work for some reason. I wonder if they expire after some time. I'll change it to a link to his profile.

Should be fixed now.

Okay. It seems like it could be come an institutional lack of oversight instead of individual.

I agree it wasn't purposeful but I also know that if I had a son in this exact situation, I would be screaming for answers.

Hopefully I posted this video right.....you can see Butch trying to get Kendrick’s attention it appears to me.

Maybe it’s just my imagination.

Looking back, I think he was looking at Trey Smith. He actually seems to purposefully not look at BK but I am admittedly looking through the lense of suspicion.

In case my not having an avatar was one of the hold ups, I created one. Everyone doing their small part is all that can be asked.

Soon......98%

Or could be like Hart and doesn't want to be told to hire Gruden.

I think he'd do anything humanly possible to preserve the persona he's worked so hard to build....not his job, but the narrative he wants to portray. It's really all he's got, his most valuable commodity to sell, and it's now taking hit after hit. I believe he didn't want to be here for the KY game....he knew it would be a loss. Losing to KY as the HFCAUTK pretty much cements your legacy. If he thought having Kendrick out there missing a limb would help him win, he would have done it.
