Fire Davenport (NEEDS BOT APPROVAL)

Remove The Haslams (PRESIDENT\OWNS BOT)

Please Keep Calling, Emailing & Tweeting! (DOES IT MATTER?)

See where Im going with this?

Youre asking the tail of the dog to cut its own head off.

 

[AllVolinGA]

Fire Currie, hire Blackburn, hire Gruden. Easy peasy.

Hawk, Exile, SFD (when you aren’t wasted on park food): is it safe to say we overestimated Ergen in this whole thing? Apparently deerPark was right about him.

Actually, I think it has been Beaver we put too much faith in? Whatever happened to Castor Ventures that was going to put in the big bucks for UT research??

 

[VolDefense]

Largest privately held company in the US, more than twice the net worth of Ergen. And that's not counting Big Jim or Bily's stash.

i think your networth are reversed

Go look at his wikipedia page. Lot of accusations. No proof though.

Just did, and I remember that whole story about what supposedly went on at OSU, which was written by a guy whonwas later arrested and the fact that there was absolutely no proof or NCAA investigation, that's a bit of a stretch man

Thats what I was curious about if Haslam actually donated more money.

I've stayed away for a min but the AD is a joke no matter what happens from here

Who happens to run the BOT which happens to be the decision makers.

Long time lurker first time poster. Really looking forward to the next decade with Kiffin or Gundy

 

[ForkedDeerVol]

Did you get permission to post the info here yet?

Hopefully around 6 pm central time.

Sorry, you are correct. Ergen is 3x Jimmy.

 

[volinSmyrna]

Don't throw me to the wolves but why is Haslam considered Tennessees power booster and not Ergen?

Haslams are the largest donors and carry the most influence (obviously). Ergen nearly doubles their net worth, but doesn’t throw his weight around much.

Imo...underestimated Haslam more than over estimated Ergen.

It's like N Korea. He is willing to burn it all down before giving up control.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

247 ad employee said it is done deal 2 mins ago!

For Gundy?

For real?

 

[FacelessArya]

Asking for support or gauging support?

It was said asking. Swain said the same thing. Most if not all of Swain’s info comes from former players.

Ergen is filthy rich but has no balls. Sounds legit

 

[Tally_Vol]

Haslams are the largest donors and carry the most influence (obviously). Ergen nearly doubles their net worth, but doesn’t throw his weight around much.

So, pretty much he needs to start throwing his weight around a lil more.

I want to know about ALL of that. I believe in Beaver. This was all a coup performed by Currie and Haslam.

Not accusing, just sayin' what comes up if you google. Expect people to google whoever is hired.

How simple is it to say "keep your donations and leave"

 

[EddietheVOL]

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.

I’m guessing bc it’s nothing solid that a media outlet would even pick up. But what do I know I’m not an insider

 

[volinSmyrna]

So, pretty much he needs to start throwing his weight around a lil more.

I think that is what the majority wanted and were hoping for. However, I’m not sure this was spearheaded by Ergen. I think we weren’t told to stop thinking that, but that kind of power play isn’t his m.o. if I understand him correctly.

 

[SaEve81]

Ergen is worth more...
A lot more. But it comes down to what he is willing to donate to University versus what the Haslams have been able to donate

 

[VFLnSFD]

Any secret info learned from your undercover work at Disney? With your input we are about to blow the lid off this Can!

I got a Go Vol's from a university of Utah student yesterday. Maybe that's something?
