For the moron complaining about "millennials" wanting things done in a hurry. A moving van was sent to a sitting head coach's house 40 years ago during the season.

There's nothing new under the sun and people being impatient isn't a generational thing.

From TOS.. And this sounds plausible

"Gruden did not say no. This spin was put out there by the Gruden side and the AD side because they were not happy that it got out that JG and Boosters had already been informally discussing things before Butch had even been fired. JG likes Butch and he is trying to be as respectful to Butch in this process as he can. He wants to make it clear he did not campaign for this job and he was approached by UT people, not the other way around. JG is a classy guy, he is trying to adhere to an unwritten code of conduct between coaches and friends.

As UT fans we should know about this better than anyone. Fulmer \ Majors ring a bell? JG wants this process to play out in a respectful manner. He never said no, that is complete bullsh!t."

Wish I new man. Maybe nothing but a warning bell went off in my head after one of his posts and I haven't been able to jump back into his fan club.

It might not even affect us but I believe he's getting something out of this and using us to do it.

Narcissism, just like a lot of people on social media. ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME.

To our defense, we've haven't really ever witnessed UT being great. I was 6 years old when UT won a championship and wasn't even a fan of football at the time. I didn't start following UT football until the last years of Fulmer. Being a millennial we are used to letdown, after letdown when it comes to this administration hiring anyone that we don't have to Google because it's what we are accustomed too. You older folks got to see some of the best years in the history of our program and got to witness it first-hand. You grew up with UT being great. We grew up with UT being mediocre.

To the bold part...I have been patient, I've honestly didn't stop supporting Butch until after the UGA game. I gave him chance after chance. Hell, I defended him after the Florida game, a game that he should have won. I was patient for 5 years. Us millennials, just like other generations on here are hanging on to every word and any type of hope that we can when it comes to Gruden coming. We want to see Tennessee great just like the other generations got to witness.

I applaud you. Great perspective and not an ounce of entitlement. Kudos to you my friend.

I never missed a home game form 1992-1999. It was magical. There’s nothing like Neyland when it’s truly rocking. I believe those days are just ahead. Stay patient!

Furthermore, if we believe the narrative, almost 40% of the $ for phase 1 disappears if they buck the Gruden hire.

The $340,000,000 vote was basically a yes to Gruden. All's that's left is to tie up loose ends and make a couple announcements.

All in due time. All in due time.
JMHO IMHO BBQ

I agree.

There had to be something promised to gain that kind of money donated for stadium renovations considering how poorly the team is performing under Butch.

Yeah I’m scared. 🙄

I’m not a millennial either. I get tired of entitlement ruling the country. Equality and transparency? What does that even mean??? Sounds made up.
Let’s bring it back to this thread. Too many people feel entitled to information and come in here calling people out when they don’t get it or when it isn’t what they want to hear when they want to hear it. Information is presented and you live with it. “Oh Beav, please drop us a nugget!” Or “Hey Boro, have you heard anything today even though you said 62 times already you haven’t?” Or every time something happens, you can actually hear the panic attacks reverberate across the board. So let’s say this: Im equally as disappointed in our team this year but in my transparency, I believe it’ll get better-soon.

I'm with you ... but i will say it's 2 things (the reason some respond the way you've described):
1) disappointment from 2012 = gunshy 2017
2) battered vol syndrome

i've flipped out a little once or twice myself, but by and large, i agree with you. i'm starting to believe this will play out after vandy. jmo, i know nothing.

Who said this on TOS? A mod? A reputable poster? Rando?

You know, I have learned the best way to fix that is to worry about my own behavior instead of trying to change others. Serenity prayer, try it :zeitung_lesen:

So what are your thought on Frost? :hi:

Good coach.

Just not for Tennessee as a primary option. Would rather see him in Nebraska where we don't face them. I'd prefer UF hire someone entirely inept.

Twas a blue font post. :eek:lol:

I don't think it was a blue font post.
I think he's serious, and I agree with him.

Frost is an intriguing candidate, but not what we need at this time. The window for up and coming experiments has closed.

Preach, you don’t have to tell me about the disappointment at all. I remember see butch come down that escalator and thinking “what the crap just happened? Who is THIS guy??” And I’ve flipped out too-but not in here. We have to stop viewing this process as a child looking at the parade through the knothole in the fence. We have to find a way gain some perspective, finding a chair, stool, something, that allows us to see over the fence and view this from beginning to end. When we do that, we can rest in the process. Kind of like what our Father tells us to do. Rest. 😉

My post was blue font. I was picking on his serious post. One I have called for several times. Because people freak out, every day.
