Think about it. Haslam put Currie in over Blackburn and Fulmer at the last minute. They did not care who it pissed off. Haslam had to have the support of the Chancellor and the President for that to happen.

What makes you think Haslam won’t just put another person loyal to him right in behind Currie? Who’s gonna stop it?

It's not a matter of them waiting us, the fans out. It's a matter of us the fans keeping enough public pressure on to 1. Prevent Currie from sliding another Haslam Hire in, and 2. Buying time for boosters like AV to do what they need to do behind the scenes.

We went an entire day yesterday without a single word from anyone. I’m afraid the longer this goes, the more likely it is that they are in fact, waiting us out. Or even worse, just don’t care and are going along with business as usual. In the end, we are going to be made fun of and laughed at and Haslam will still be in power. I sure hope not but it feels that way.

If Auburn had gotten a heads up on Chizik,
make no mistake they would have done way more w social media than showing up to protest at airport.

Has anybody mentioned the five million dollar buyout of John Currie? Not sure if that is accurate but that is what was reported this morning on FSN

Apparently it’s 100,000 for each month remaining on his contract which equates to 5 million + at this time.

It has came to light that Currie contacted Ohio St a few days before he fired Butch.

Schiano was Currie's guy from the start. Everyone "sources" were feed lies.

Currie played us all

Haslam won't allow Blackburn. The fans/boosters need to ramrod Blackburn down Haslam's throat.

Her support is not eternally binding. If/when she concludes that her continued support hurts not only the university but also her personally, she will turn on him in an instant. The overriding motivation for all of these idiots is self preservation.

I’m getting the feeling that the “her personally” part is all that really matters.

I agree these parties want a coach hired as quickly as possible to remove the focus from them.

. I thought of this all night after Knuck and Exile told us what is happening behind closed doors. Is there a coach that we could hire that would actually help our cause against the power(s) that strangle this University?

His name is on this thread. I have been saying it will a little push back...force their hand. get Gruden to show up at the front door wrapped in a big orange bow and have him publicly say he wants to coach here...I guarantee there is enough people in the UT family to back him. See how quickly they start to pack their bags. Added bonus he is not a Sexton lackey. I know im exaggerating a little but a public comment from Gruden would go a long long way.

I just hope our other big boosters can band together and for the good of the university get Haslam out.

The sum of their contributions is much greater than Haslam.

We as fans need to continue emailing, calling, cancelling season tickets if need be to hold up our end.

Call your legislators too. I'm sure some of them are on the Haslam take but they need your votes to get elected.
