Swain asked Lowe if they are passed the point of no return. Lowe dodged the question and basically said people are swimming in different directions over there. Respects Chancellor Plowman.

Swain asked about Bill O'Brien. Lowe doesn't think UT will be able to land an established coach. Believes O'Brien is a done deal at Alabama.

He is basically saying that things are crumbling behind the scenes with recruits and the parents of high level players are blowing up Fulmer trying to find out wth is going on. Says even a new coach will be set back for years if they don't quit screwing around and make a decision and announce it. Nothing that we don't already "know" but when Lowe starts saying it, it's getting bad.

We can't get out of our own way. No one has a more dysfunctional administration than UT.

Sorry, but listening to Lowe, he isn't saying anything new and I think this thing has been so tight wrapped that even he doesn't know what is going on and only speculating.

Yeah I’m firmly on board that it’s not Pruitt, Jones, Dooley,Kiffin, or Fulmer we should be blaming..... its 100% on our administration......they are not cohesive and don’t know how to manage an athletic department.

Kind of petty on our part since he wasn’t going to be renewed. But I’m good with it! We’ve been on the receiving end way too often.

Tired of over paying for crap results. Coaches get every bit of the leverage. If his buyout was $12, we should have knocked on his door every day till it was paid, on principle alone

We seriously need to clean out the entire AD and get rid of all the barely functioning idiots for people that know what the hell they are doing. We kill ourselves through self-sabotage.

When an organization has been bad for this long and you're trying to figure out why, you look for a common denominator(s).

Best as I can tell, the only common denominator appears to be the boosters.

Our boosters are dysfunctional, but I don't think that's it. There's more to the Athletic Department than the Athletic Director. I honestly think a lot of the dysfunction is there, and it doesn't help that Fulmer isn't really qualified for the job.

I’m going to be on board with whoever they hire barring it being some disaster hire like Steele. If it’s Herman, Gus, Napier, Chadwell, Marrone, O’Brien, or someone like that, I’ll be fine with it

Bass you know after a few days you will be in full sheep mode supporting Steele if he is the guy. Its the Bassmaster way lol

The old post office is close to that DV's auto repair/junk yard, on Raccoon Valley. It looks like a tiny house.

I went to ACHS. We lived on the Anderson County side of Chestnut Ridge Rd.

I recently saw an old hand drawn map that showed the post office over near the railroad track many, many years ago. There used to be a train depot over there.

You bring up something that I would like to ask for clarification. Not directing this at you all but rather anyone willing to help, but it would be good for this forum for someone to identify all of the "players" involved in the dysfunction and where each one stands, where the friction lays. I get it that Fulmer is dissenting, but seems that everyone respects Boyd and Plowman and from what I have read from "the insiders" on here that the boosters are split on whether to write the check. Where does the BOT stand on the issue (if anyone knows)? Are there others involved that are aligned against the football program?

I have always heard we are dysfunctional, but was under the impression that President Boyd and Chancellor Plowman were good for the football program. Just trying to get a better understanding. Thanks.
