Tee Martin is the clear choice and makes sense right now to hire him. And that's exactly how we know it's going to be Bobo.

He has to be done relatively soon. I just don't think he can be comfortable at any school event. He will have people saying things to him.

Don’t forget that video of him aimlessly walking thru ZZ during the LSU game sipping coffee by himself.

Has no idea what’s coming. He’s done.

you guys better quit getting excited about Brohm cause it looks like Arky (like all other programs but ours) isn't playing around and is headed up to pluck him out from under us... while we walk around in circles pointing at each other and playing grab ass... this University is a straight up joke and circus.
We are going to talk about things for the entire week and let Brohm, Taggart, and any other descent coach get away... idiots.

How fun would that be to watch Tee coach with Witten and a few others?
Peyton can pound sand if he was part of the Schiano party, which I heard he was...

Yesterday was the breaking point. But I'm afraid our administration may not be getting the point of that whole thing.

It wasn't just about Schiano. It was about what Schiano represented for us as fans. After all we've been through and all we've given and cheered for, this is what you present to us? Nope.

If this is another awful hire I wouldn't be surprised if the protest happens again. We won't have the same Penn State stuff to cling to, and it will make us look crazier than ever. But I don't think those fans that rioted are just going to accept any old name they try to send out.

Good coaches know this and that's why they don't want to come here. Everybody wants to blame the fans, when in reality the problem here is the administration and it always has been.

The national media doesn't know enough about it to even really comment on it. We will just be cast as those idiot Tennessee fans! So crazy! Bad people!

But we we've been strung along and lied to for years.

This can simply not be said enough. Contrary to Chris Low, Tennessee fans didn't react this way to Greg Schiano because "he wasn't Jon Gruden." It's true that there were some "Gruden or bust" folks, but I think most Tennessee fans would have been pretty content with Mullen, Taggart, Venables, etc. You would have had grumbling for sure on message boards, but I think most people would give those coaches the benefit of the doubt, like they did for Butch and Dooley.

The problem is that after getting turned down by your first choice (and not, by accounts, making enough of an effort to snag him while Florida is busy farting around chasing Chip Kelly), you try to sell this fanbase on a guy with serious character concerns who may be tied into the most disgraceful scandal in college football history, and you do this the day after we just finished our worst season in history in a blowout to a 7-loss Vanderbilt team. It is tone deafness to such an extent as to be utterly inconceivable.

And the thing is, I could conceive of a scenario where you could have actually sold Greg Schiano to Tennessee fans. But not like they did yesterday. It would have taken time, controlled leaks, public spurnings from better candidates. Even that might not have been enough, given the Penn State factor. But to go running to a fourth-tier candidate the day after the season ends and after you had the gall to go vacationing in the Bahamas the week before? The level of sheer incompetence is difficult to fathom.

I'm tired of people in the national media trashing Tennessee fans with this. This is entirely the fault of Tennessee's "leadership," and nobody else.

If we as a fan base can take such riotous short term action and get positive short term results, it stands to reason that we could take measured long term actions and derive positive long term results. However, the problems with that are:
- figuring out what actions to take;
- organizing the actions/getting people to follow through;
- not causing counterproductive collateral damage in the process.

Any thoughts or ideas? I'm still really pissed and am tired of feeling powerless.

He was definitely trying to drum up support for Schiano and encouraging other VFls to do the same. Maybe he didn't know or realize the backlash. I get crap all the time for not having a higher opinion of Peyton but he is not my favorite Vol by a long shot even before this.

All part of big Jims plan. How dare we defy him? Wait until only the dregs of college football coaches are left.

Would not surprise me in the least.

Tee is a huge risk but he’s OUR huge risk and he has huge upside potential.

We will probably screw up any hire we make. Why not give it to a guy we know will get everyone pulling in the same direction?

I swear if they get Brohm while the UT AD is standing there holding their di@#s again like they did with Mullen, Jimbo, and others, they should be fired tomorrow and thrown in the damn river. At this point they/currie are sabotaging our chances of any good hire by doing nothing, getting all of us back for the schiano revolt... you do realize this right??
