CHIP KELLY UPDATE: Chip Kelly has offers from Florida & UCLA (turned down Tennessee).
NOTE: A potential sticking point for Kelly & UCLA: Under Armour. HIs relationship w/ Phil Knight makes it a hurdle. Could be overcome. But it’s real."

We offered Kelly? This is the first I've heard of this. I don't think that's accurate. Currie is too big on compliance to even look Kelly's way.

I don’t believe that.

To be clear, I believe he has offers from UCLA and UF, but don’t believe he turned down UT.

Lol Tennessee never had any contact with Chip Kelly from what all the mods on TOS's are saying. They said Tennessee never had any interest, period

We clearly need to be friends. I could have written that sentence. DVC member, AP holder, D23 member -- the whole deal. We go three to four times a year. We spent 11 days at Disney in September and are going back Dec. 12 for a Christmas trip. Then we're going down in late January for Disney After Hours -- which, by the way, is the most awesome thing Disney has ever done.

So cool to meet another Disney and Vols fanatic!

At this moment I'm about as confident as a confused man can be. In the last 24 hours I've suddenly received all kinds of information from sources I knew and some I hadn't even thought of. Some of it is a bit conflicting, but much of it is awesome. Nothing that hasn't already been discussed here, but hearing it from people inside, and who don't listen to any outside noise, was BIG for me.

Screw all these so called reporters. Seriously, I think it's something they train these morons these days. Just add "wouldn't consider UT", "turned UT down", "UT looking way down the list", etc......

Keep trying to make TN a bottom dweller. It's just going to make our rise to the top that much sweeter. We all know it's coming and soon, these goons will too.

Whoa.

Yes. We go every year because it is such a great way to track their development. We aren't people who sit still very well, so it's the perfect vacation for us. One of my favorite memories is of my middle child during fireworks one night holding out her little 3 year old hands like she was holding water in them. I asked her what she was doing and she responded, "trying to catch magic."

I miss that soooo much..Now we are just waiting on grandkids to spoil. Two of our three are married, and trying to have children now.

Just heard a great analogy and I’ll add my spin..

Gruden is like the Red Rider BB gun. It’s something you dream about getting. Nothing compares and any other gift would be a disappointment. But there’s all this outside noise about why you can’t/shouldn’t have it and basically try to temper your expectations.

But we all know what’s under the tree on Christmas morning!

You do realize Ralphie did, in fact, shoot himself in the eye and break his glasses, as the “outside noise” predicted?

I worked for the basketball team as a student manager back during Pearl's tenure. Doesn't matter how big the compliance issue, Currie is all over that stuff. He was around all the time.

Thing is, it only pops up when visiting VN. I can go to ANY other site (work site, 247, RTT, usual news sites ai visit, etc) via same browser and not get the pop up. But thanks for info. Do not want left out on announcement celebration when this goes down because of a darn annoying add😜

We’re going to Disney in late January as well! Staying at Wilderness Lodge and considering buying into the DVC. Love the “Disney Bubble” effect, most relaxing vacations ever.

i understand and dont doubt you, but im saying this compliance thing is a non issue for him, wherever he lands, he doesnt want UT due to recruiting as I have said since day 1 about him.


UCLA and FLa are much easier to recruit, never have to leave the state, that is not the case for UT, and he doesnt like recruiting...
