All I meant was that this isn't about Gruden in particular. If we get the right AD we'll get a great coach.

Maybe. It sure sounds like we had a great coach on the hook and torpedoed it to further someone's agenda.

I'm up for one more, Charlie. Getting the right person hired as AD. Or more accurately, ensuring the wrong person isn't (this Currie underling).

But no more "one mores" after that. After that, it's Find The Best Coach We Can (which I personally think has a near 0% chance of being Gruden, but we'll see).

No more social media midnight pitchfork and torch rallies.

Not unless one of those "insiders" comes forth with something more than platitudes and hand-waving.

One more it is.

My uncle donates enough to get on the terrace. He says one more push and we might get our wish. I belive him. Not saying Gruden, but I believe neutering the Haslams helps us get our University in order. When Alabama hired Saban, they told Bear Bryant Jr to go sit in a corner while the adults handle this. I fully believe this is where we are at. Let's keep the pressure on! Love your voice on here too. Love my veterans!

Beav. is filling a needed role but I don’t think he’s “in the know” by any means. PV’s called his inaccurate comhments out on multiple occasions.

PV also thanked him and his people for doing what they’re doing

He just didn’t want Beav giving “false” hope

Anything is a poseability in the Greater Knoxville Twilight Zone ....
Click to expand...

Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
There's a guy starting to realize that eternal
Fate has turned its back on him.
It's two a.m.
It's two a.m.
The fear has gone
I'm sitting her waitin'
The gun's still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of taking chances
Yeah there's a storm on the loose
Sirens in my head
Wrapped up in silence
All circuits are dead
Cannot decode my whole life spins into a frenzy
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
I'm falling down a spiral
Destination unknown
Double crossed messenger, all alone
Can't get no connection
Can't get through where are you
Well the night weighs heavy
On his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
When the hit-man comes
He knows damn well
He has been cheated
And he says
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone [x2]
When the bullet hits the bone, a ha
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone, a ha
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone, a ha
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone, a ha
When the bullet hits the bone

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!

I went to all the old threads and compiled how many times each of us posted in each thread. This is a crude list of how many times each user posted in the first 45 Gruden Threads. I will figure out if I can somehow harvest this data for other useful information for you kids. This data does not include any data from Gruden XLVI and on.

Just trying to move up a couple of spots.

Seriously though, if we can get an article from anyone that Fulmer is not to be blamed, that would be amazing. We need something to shoot! Otherwise we're slinging bayonets against machine guns.

Ok so John Brice tweeted Fulmer taking the reigns has been in the works for 48 hours. When did Deerhunter show up? Just saying...


Lulz. I'd like to be hopeful.

Yes, and I'm very disappointed in Finebaum's comment that Phil tried to sabotage this whole thing. Paul is definitely not a VFL. Why is he allowed on campus?
Click to expand...

1) He made the statement on his show he had lunch with Jimmy Haslam when he was in Knoxville recently. 2) Pilot Flying J is a sponsor of his program on the SEC network... You figure it out. :good!:

I’m sorry. I just get a little defensive when people go at PV. What he did for me and my family, my family and I will never forget and never be able to repay. As far as you saying that he hasn’t said anything that hadn’t already been reported is completely false. Remember when he said yesterday morning that in order to get rid of Currie, we had to delay the hires. He said they needed more time, while Beav. Was shouting for Bev to make the hire ASAP. PV even confronted Beav. and said that’s the last thing that needed to happen because if he got a hire, he would still be here today. This whole week he’s been giving us nuggets hours before and sometimes days before it happens. He’s been careful not to give any false hope because he’s so invested into this program and the fan base that he doesn’t want to disappoint anyone. His heart is 100% invested into this program and the fan base. If you don’t want to hear from him anymore, put him on your ignore list, but if you do want to hear from him, don’t contest him. He’s giving us what he can. Once this is all over with, they’ll be gone so appreciate the time we have.

Okay, laying all my cards out on the table specifically concerning PV.

I believe he is Atlanta Vol. Same guy, different name. And I believe he is a legitimately good, kind and generous person. I also believe he has access to the UT administration in a way that only big-$$ boosters get. I don't doubt him one bit on a personal level.

But I absolutely question his professional goals in all this. Don't know where he wants to take this fight with Haslam, or why.

And I'm not into fighting battles whose purpose can't be explained. Or won't be.

So, PV/AV/anyone else on this team can explain it, if they will. Or I'm not on board.

I'm going back to the basics: get a good AD, then get the best coach we can. All the back-room deals and efforts can fend for themselves.

I'm not angry, just curious and skeptical. If my words give off any emotion other than those, forgive my ability to be more clear.

Go Vols!

As I said Charles is a permanent option.

Right now blow up the world and get Coach to the podium at 4. Do not let Sigmon get the interim. Show everyone we know what is going on.
