Ok. Currie said don’t believe anything until you hear it from him. Gruden is in and getting a staff together and wants to do it by SEC Championship. Sexton says he will get his guys to interview to buy time and also get Sexton and the Coach a little extra money. Now they were not expecting Volnation to go nuts on Greg and then take it further by head hunting. Currie walks Gruden out as always planned and says I never said anything. Far fetched. But I’ll take it.

I feel like Currie "spoke" via the statement after the renegade Schiano hire... I'll be happy if you're end result is right, but I'll be a little irked at the theatrics.

If Tee is offered the job, it would be up to VFLs or friends to stop it. A social media campaign isn't going to do it. If he is offered, the best we can do is sit back and watch.

I love what Tee Martin did for UT as a player, but he is not yet ready to be the HFC at UT. They know this. That is why he is only being considered after everybody else turned Currie down.

This isnt about any particular coach. It is about getting the dumbarse Haslams and their puppet(s) out. I will resend emails tomorrow.

Can't count on Chancellor or President to veto a Tee hire, that would look rather iffy, right?

Time for boosters to nuclear option if they have to. Whatever that means - leaking Gruden info to prominent journalist, whatever - only option to stop that.

If it is Tee, that is. Heck, sounds like no one knows where Currie really is. You'd think you could find the plane he was on. It isn't like he flew it himself.

I believe Haslam is about to pull his last gambit.

They are going to try to sell you on Tee as HC.

They hope this will make you cheer and accept a Haslam Hire.

If Tee is hired by this administration, they will remain in power.

They will do their utmost to destroy Tee if he accepts.

If he accepts and fails, they will crow that it was "all the fans fault."

And the cycle will continue.

DO NOT FALL FOR IT.

Hopefully the Good Guys will whisper in Tee's ear (geez, left you folks an opening there) and warn him.

Better yet, we need Tuesday to warn him.

I completely agree with this. The rest of this has been a smokescreen. And everyone hates Currie for it but he’s prob the one that made it happen lol

If only there was someone who knew Tee personally, and might be able to talk him into not accepting anything.

Good news is he has a game to coach tomorow...that should slow things down enough to hopefully get the AD fired and for Tee to evaluate things afterwards.

I don’t think he will regardless.

It’s been said before that Tee is a rockstar legend in Knoxville. Why would he risk coming back and putting it on the line. If things go bad he’s hated forever

Because he has the mentality of a winner and wants to save his alma mater. Pretty simple.

Here's the thing: I think after all the people demanding Tee, people WILL accept. I mean, if this is their last ditch effort and people have genuinely been asking for it...idk, it's a sticky situation as a fan.

I get wanting the Haslams out, but MANY have asked for Tee.

So... I've not been around for a few days but I was wondering if anyone has called out that Tuesday guy yet for being completely full of sh*t. He was friends with Tee and was saying that he was in talks. I knew he was a fraud when he says he was like 29 but good friends with Tee.

We have had a good run, but I honestly do not see how we would or could boycott a Tee hire. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase would accept that hire, and rightfully so. I think that's where the boosters opposing Haslam would need to step in and do their part. We have seen all these cryptic statements and "sources," yet what have the people with real influence done to help this cause? And I do not mean rejecting the Schiano deal, but to overthrow Haslam and Currie. The only way to do that is when people with real power and money within the University take a stand.

If he is talking to Tee, and Tee was rumored to OC/HCIW for Gruden, wouldn't he turn it down let Currie get fired? He could then take that position once Blackburn and then Gruden is hired?

I would think with all he VFL's involved Tee is very aware of the current situation within this administration and Haslem.

Surely CPF is giving him the straight facts
