You only need to remove Haslam from the hire. Power loss. Regardless of what he can try and do after this fact, once a new AD is in he loses this battle.

Moving forward, he can continue on with his agenda but it won't matter in terms of what has happened , he was negated and made null and void on this decision for a coach. This is the battle first and foremost as it is the point of the exercise, getting the coach.

Strong words to say I have no pride, but everyone is entitled to their opinions, I suppose.

It is just my opinion. I'm sure plenty of people on here disagree with me. I was raised that when someone craps on you, you don't give them an opportunity to do it again. If you do, then you deserve whatever you get.

Kiffin might have grown up a bit and he might come here and do well. I just personally don't believe that. I think if he was here doing well and Kelly started foundering at UCLA, he would leave us again in a heartbeat to get back to the west coast. It brings to mind the rattlesnake story scene from Natural Born Killers. "You knew I was a rattlesnake..."

Maybe I'm wrong for being too proud. Pride is one of the seven deadly sins, after all.

:hi:

Guys.

Don't get distracted by this coach, that coach or the other coach. Focus on FIRE CURRIE.

As soon as Currie is fired, we need to IMMEDIATELY call for Blackburn. In full force.

Then, THEN, we call for the very best coach for Tennessee, who HAS NOT SAID NO.

how may strikes does he get before it actually happens?

where are we now on prospected hires 6-7? 8?

Wasn't Brett Beliemas (sp) record similar at Arky to Butch's. So in other words he failed. At least Sumlin had a decent record. Don't want either though, I want Gruden.

Impossible, The Schiano story would not have happened if that was the case. Too many people were involved, and Schiano would have never allowed his reputation to be drug around in the mud like that. Also there were direct comments and interviews from Meyer, and the AD of Ohio State. There is NO way that UT used Schiano as a smoke screen to keep the heat off Gruden.

As much as I want Gruden here the smokescreen theory is absolutely ludicrous.

Gonna nerd out for a sec.

Stranger Things 2.

Mindflayer = Haslam
The Breach = Currie
Eleven = VolNation

If we close the Breach, the Mindflayer loses power here. Still alive, but cut off from influence here.

Close the Breach. Fire Currie.

Do you really believe he will go that quietly just because his guy is fired and Blackburn (or anyone else) is brought in? You have another thing coming if you do. He has to be completey removed or this will not change. Don't for one second think he won't attempt to sabotage the hiring of an AD, and by proxy, sabotaging any new coaching hires.

Just heard on the radio that we are moving to Sumlin
Click to expand...

to get a gauge on how sumlin may do at UT, look at his record vs the east and bama.

overall, while at a&m, he was 9-3 against the east (played uf, ut, mz, sc, vandy) and 1-5 vs bama.

that's 10-8 and 56%.

bout the same as mullin was vs the east and bama.

not sure he'd be worth what we'd have to pay him.
not sure how i feel about this truthfully.

EDIT: 3-3 vs Mullen

This is the plan so many of you keep asking for. It's simple: Stay focused, diligent, and patient. We are winning, but it's not nearly over.
