Even if Gruden was not in play to the extent we thought, the people in high places that want regime change need to come out swinging NOW while the iron is as hot as the fan base. If we think we are going to win with Currie and Haslam running things people are smoking CRACK!:rock:

They should have years ago, not sure why anyone thinks anything will change now. Haslam is there until Haslam wants to leave and that isn't going to happen any time soon.

I’m hearing Gundy will be making a decision by tomorrow. Wanted some time to think it over.

I will say this isn’t all bad. He turned down Florida real quick and wasn’t pimping for a raise.

Agree, but sleeping on it will likely not bring good news....IMO.

If we have to move on, do we simply go to the next one and try and throw a ridiculous amount of money at Petersen?

Said another way, the people who got Gruden to consider coaching here in the first place are still real people with real money. They wanted, and still want him. But everyone realizes now, Currie and the Haslam influence HAS to go.

so are you insinuating that there is still a legitimate chance on Jon Gruden? I just don't see it

*edit With Currie/Haslam out of the way?

Lay off knuck.

The disgusting news he referenced last night, he heard from me.

People above my pay grade are aware of it.

No, I am not discussing it here. Flame if you wish, but people who can actually do something about it already know.

I am doing all that I believe I can do, here, in Twitter, and in email. I am also trying desperately to keep people here focused on the importance of FIRE BEFORE HIRE. Because that is what I believe WE as fans can do RIGHT NOW to buy time for the big cheeses to do what they can.

Man, I like you, you've been one of the few I take serious with what he brings, but, the problem is the masses and until the masses truly believe like some of us here in this thread it doesn't matter. I don't see the fallout coming, because, the masses will accept what is about to be put on them.

I pray the big guys are able to pull this off, but, I have my reservations that it will come to fruition.

The ammo needs to be put in the public, and more importantly, into the hands of someone bigger than Hargis and until this smoking gun is put out there, I think we lose.

How is Haslam working hard? Isn't he in court? Seems like he has just sent Johnny out to play and gave him a list of things to do.

Haslam is NOT in court. They played audio in court that included his voice. Haslam himself is facing no charges, it is executives of Pilot who are in court.

I would take Lane in a heartbeat....he left us for USC...it was his dream to coach there....we all have had a dream we would like to achieve....it was bad timing yes...
He has proved he can go head to head against top teams.
Frankly I am not so sure that I like Gundy over Lane.

And he failed at USC. The people in Tuscaloosa could not wait for him to be gone and that is a fact!

ABSOLUTELY! NOW is the time to strike. If we let up now, it's the status quo. We've got to effect a regime change now!

I've emailed DiPietro three times already. I think I'll send one every hour. FIRE CURRIE AND DAVENPORT NOW!

Focused on what? You are sitting on knowledge that we could put out there like we did Sunday. But you won’t. We’re still supposed to believe you.

Mark my words. They will hire before the recruits come in this weekend. You have days, potentially hours before we hire.

This is ridiculous.

You have to realize that nobody is listening. If he hires Gundy, then he and Bev fade into the background again and people will forget.

I will not. I am sooooo sick of UT admin being in such disarray internally while always giving the Eff You to everyone else.

I won't forget and I will continue calling, emailing, tweeting.

Many won't forget and they will feel it! They are so rich and arrogant they will ride it out until UT finally seperates itself. Hanging with Haslam at this point is slow quicksand to the forever cellar.:rock:

Most people dont like chaos. The longer a chaotic situation goes on, the quicker they are to accept something to make it stop. They are creatures of habit who like homeostasis.

Look on the Gundy board, "who cares what it cost, we have a big name, get it done now". They would have never settled for Gundy at $8M a few days ago. The fan base would've revolted. Put them in a chaotic state for a few days though, and they are willing to accept something they previously would not.

People have to fight against their nature of getting back to homeostasis and let this play out a little longer. Short term pain for long term gain.

Why should we continue to buy into hidden, blind hearsay when that's exactly why we're here *****ing about what went down Sunday?

The fight to get his ass out is happening above my pay grade. What I hear right now is that people are working to make it happen, but Currie/Haslam are working just as hard to get a coach in before the other boosters can apply their leverage.

That's why VN needs to buy time by voicing refusal to accept any hire before administration is under new direction. Any name that is tossed out while Currie is AD is a distraction. "Hey, pay no attention to the knife I stabbed into the programs back, look at this shiny new coach, don't you want us to hire him?"

So other boosters and Fulmer are not pushing Gundy?

So there's a big game changing thing out there that might just ignite change.....but you can't share it?

After how Sunday went down, giving information to Vol Nation is the way to go.

Free flow of information has toppled corrupt governments throughout history.

This cloak and dagger stuff needs to go.

Yet!
He still has a target letter and the Feds have not said he will not be indicted. They are working their way up the ladder.

Edit: He has not yet been sent a target letter. But they have told the court the investigation is still ongoing.

with Currie/Haslam OUT, then Gruden becomes very probable with Blackburn or Fulmer running the AD.

thats not some "dream".

Gruden is the RIGHT coach for UT !

MIT..anyone verify this.

Shiano's MOU was reportedly void because it did not have Bev's signature or the President's....

As long as someone decides not to sign it can not be "ratified." This is the reason to light them up. Only one person has to say no to hold it up.

I will say this. This is AN ANONYMOUS MESSAGE BOARD. If you have disgusting....is that the word you used?....information, share it.

Who is going to know you shared it? No one knows who you are!

I've always like Gundy for his fire but we have to use a different standard than one of the worst periods in our history.

"At least he's better than Butch/Dooley" stuff is useless.
Click to expand...

Ok that's fair

Lets go to Fulmer's last 10 years

UT missed out on a bowl only 4 times

UT finished outside of the top 25 only 4 times

UT won 85 games in that time span

Huh, look at that, if I didn't put UT on the front, you could've sworn that was OSU. In fact, Gundy did a little better.
