Speaking as an educator, you better hope not! The politicians have ruined the educational system in this state; so I can only imagine how much worse our athletic department would be following anything close to this thought...

Finally, to quote Cypress Hill: " We ain't goin' out like that."

Someone in knoxville had to have known. The AD was fort knox til that leak, and I really dont think that was supposed to happen. Someone important enough to know about it played Currie hard.

Anytime something like this arises cause will be evaluated. So my answer is yes but I have not been told directly by anyone at this time.

The thing now is do not let up. Write, call, text, tweet. If you know anyone booster, player, BOT, legislators, make it your mission to help. This does not need to stop with Currie.

For those that are worried about the national media making us look bad. Stiffen your back and do what’s right. Stand up for Tennessee and don’t be a wilting violet in the face of a bunch of wind bags. Many people give lip service to giving your all for Tennessee and now is your chance. Don’t go quietly or be shouted down.

Ya know, In all honesty it seems that only the fan base is riled up. I’ve seen posters say that the boosters are mad and I respect AV but where is the support from former players, boosters and others. I’ve seen nothing from them.

If you want this to work and I have defended and promoted this cause all day then somebody needs to give us something to latch on to.

Their needs to be an actual person leading the charge a face to put with the voice or people are just going to get bored or give up bc ultimately nothing has been done other then Currie releasing his condescending statement and Davenports support for him.

Also, reports have to start leaking more information. Where’s Hargis? How about some investigative journalism.

He can unite the players and former players, but I don't think for a second he is ready to compete with Bama, Georgia, Florida, etc in the SEC. Unproven feel-good hire is all it will be.

I’ll take that over the other options Currie set us up for at this point. No coach better than another Dooley or Butch will take the job knowing they weren’t even considered until after a coach no other team wants or wanted blew up in the ADs face. How many hot up and comers would leave a cushy gig to take a job at a place that will likely be replacing the AD that hired you within the next few months?
Tee is about the only one that could come in and even a new AD would have a hard time pushing out after a few years.

Heard a rumor it was an associate AD who wasn't happy at all with the hire...

He's busy doing what he does best so if I may....you have no freakin clue how much an asset he has been and continues to be. Granted, he is only one of the players but he IS one of the important players. Of course, time will tell which side(hate to say that) has been full of themselves....Ride or Die !!

No offense, but clearly the powers that be do not care what he says. So if he's that influential, you and I have a very different definition of the word. From what I saw yesterday, it is clearly evident that Currie and the bunch took us all for a ride and it was not the one everyone has been getting on here, myself included. I trust certain insiders, but the Beav and his ludicrous thriller-novel conspiracy theories never hooked me. I enjoyed reading them, but it's evident that he was not the type of person some claim him to be. Dude said weeks not days but weeks ago the Gruden deal was done. Anyone who was as confident as he was and then to see that crap show that went down yesterday, clearly knew nothing. You cannot tell me that he is that influential only to be blindsided like that. Just doesn't add up. But I digress, this will get us nowhere and I really don't want to hate on a fellow Vol, there's enough of that going around. There should be only two targets for everyone's hate at the moment: Haslem and Currie.

Supposedly an associate AD leaked it while Currie was in the air to go land our white carp.

I dont think Gruden turned the job down. I think the boosters wanted Gruden and Currie was playing along with them while at the same time he was already in Haslams pocket. There was never a plan B or any other coach. Haslam knew with Gruden that he would have zero control and he wasnt about to let that happen.
The real VFL boosters that was trying to get a real coach in here was being played by Currie the whole time. Then Sunday Currie sneaks off to Ohio to hire this clown and Haslam was so use to the Vol fans just taking what ever coach his dishes out without any push back and him and Currie was going to trot out this Schiano Clown but he never figured on VN to rise up and they did. Currie screwed over the fans and lied to them on national TV when he fired Butch and he lied to the boosters like he was swinging for the fence with this hire and the whole time he had Schiano. Haslam needs to go ,Currie and Davenport needs to go. People who are mad at Gruden should not be mad at him. He did not turn nothing down because Currie never planned on hiring him. Now go hire Kiffin and lets roll
