Just got in from road trip today. Did we get the secret signal from the "Big Coach" today? Still looks like a dumpster fire. Why don't we just hire Miles short term and move forward.:crazy:

Especially now that Tennessee has truly shown that Currie, in fact, has no authority to bargain on behalf of the university on his own, i.e. see the Brohm debacle.

I'm wondering if the only reason they're rejecting offers from Currie now is for legal purposes. They're probably just trying to prove that they have the final say so and a deal is not binding without their signatures. Think about it. Before the last couple days there were absolutely zero names getting out that Currie. Now every single coach Currie is contacting is getting out to every single news outlet and Bev is publicly blocking Currie. CYA is all this is.

This is expected because they believe that we, as fans, will go back to the way it's always been. We have been fed crap ever since the Dooley hire and we have responded by filling Neyland and buying up gear anyways. It may very well hinge on the fans speaking with their wallets for a long duration of time until the university feels the financial impact. They don't believe the threats from fans, they'll have to experience the follow through on those threats.

GV, are you up for the job of Chancellor or President? Really your choice. If not, I'll go down my list.

I’m not exactly sure what this means (but it don’t matter because ape’s staff is “ride or die”) but ape told us we get paid in “booze and farts”. Not sure what it means-just passing it along.

My mission is to make my county turn away from Haslam and Currie's reign. Not giving up on UT at all, but going to do my darndest to make them hurt.

Currie is trying a new bottom up approach of offering the lower tier coaches first. It’s not going well.

Just got this “canned” response to my email that I sent within the hour. Today is Wednesday. It’s not “Giving Tuesday” anymore.😠

not in any disrespectful way at all.. I get the point of pushing the issue to oust this tyrannical regime if you will, but why are we still trying to push the Gruden hire when they've made it pretty clear by courting every other tom dick and harry in the country but they're just going to up and be like, hey what about Jon Gruden we haven't spoke with him yet.. like I said not being a smart*ss I'm just not seeing the legitimacy given the current situation. real question, thanks in advance

These creative types...we just have to work around his quirks. He's like Leach mixed with Keith Richards with a little dirty Miley mixed in with, oh, Malzahn's crazy wife with a splash of Petrino and Kiffin.
