I could see Lane go public that UT offered him, he appears to consider it, then he turns us down in grand fashion, gets on twitter, trolls us that we want him now after burning mattresses, and then the national media who already hates us, picks it up and laughs and cheers and hundreds of articles are written making fun of us once again.
ESPN would have a field day. They are probably hoping thats what goes down.
I know this is a double post from another thread but it belongs in both Yeah Im not being humble. Lol
Even ESPN acknowledges we, along with Fl.and Ne., are a team with the history that should legitimately aspire to top 10 heights yearly. True story. On Sportscenter last night.
Also, they seem to be putting more,emphasis on Currie,and the administration for this recent fiasco and much less on the fans. Said the administration should have known it's fan base better. I had steeled myself for the segment but was pleasently surprised. Also said 10 or 20 years from now we would look back and say UT fans changed college football forever.
I can safely say nobody should be hired as HFC right now. I don't trust Currie and don't trust him calling anyone to gauge interest.
Haslam can be dealt with internally by other boosters. They can get rid of Currie while mitigating his power at the same time by putting in a guy (or gal) they want. And then let the new AD pick their coach. But do it fast.
Atlanta, I hope you're reading. You're our voice up there..
That is true for now. Once a coach is hired he can step back out for a while. He will get heckled at the bball games, but so did Hart. Heckling at games won't be enough. We need to keep the pressure on his bosses and hit UT where it hurts. Like AV said if you want to support players buy tickets off stubhub or scalpers. I called yesterday and let them know I will not be renewing as long as Currie is there. I know 2 other skybox donors that did the same.
Here's the thing, if people such as boosters and what not want change and want the Haslam's out of the picture then why not leak this whole messed up situation to someone like Trey Wallace or Clay Travis or Barrett Sallee?
It would seem like that's the only real way change will happen, get the dirty laundry in the hands of someone in the media. Make it so uncomfortable for the Haslams that they have no choice but to back off
While it might cause a big black eye for the university and the program it might be the only way to being about real change.

Kiffin is like remarriage to your first wife who left you for her obgyn.
They said this on Mike and Golic this morning too. They said fans shouldn't necessarily have a vote because that's letting the inmates run the prison, but the AD should have definitely floated the name out to gauge the pulse of the fan base instead of blindsiding us with it.
Honestly, I don't think the ticket idea is sound. In order to buy them off the street, somebody has to buy them to start with. Ticket sales will still be the same. Unless you buy them and then don't show up. Don't watch on TV so ratings go down. I guess we could listen on the radio.
I think its like someone who leaves you for their super hot dream girl....who then uses him and dumps him. He rebounds to a nice enough girl whos stripping on the side to pay the bills. Hes in the relationship but not in it for good. But, you know, he realizes now that you were always the one. He starts dropping some interest out there to let you know. Starts showing up whenever youre out.....and then boom. Hes professing his undying love and that you were the one that got away.
Kick that s*** to the curb.

JMO, but I don't think you have to leak it anywhere...those folks are all over this and other message boards...I just wish they would publish more of it...
I have a feeling Haslam is going to win out again. They believe once a coach is hired it will deflect some attention away from Currie and over time the attention(good or bad) will go to the coach. Whoever we bring in at this point is in a bad situation. Next year is going to be a tough year. The culture at UT will not change unless haslam, Currie, and davenport are gone. Even if a coach is hired please continue the heat on Currie, our proud tradition depends on it.
