Instead of being a smart mouthed punk, address the points I brought up. You can’t. Doing so would require that you be intellectually honest for once, completely challenging your comfortable online persona.

If you can’t address the points, don’t respond. I have neither the time nor the patience to drone on in circles with a troglodyte who is a caricature of snaggleteeth and MD2020 breath.

I find it hilarious that “Silent Bob” believes he can control a starved fan base that is larger than the combination of his previous stops, and by a wide margin.

I don’t think he understands the behemoth he’s subtly mocking. We are rabid. We are starved to death. More than that, we are a loyal bunch that wants to see UT competing for championships. If he delivers on that through his hires, the need to implore fans to “behave” in a manner appeasing to his ego evaporates. His focus should be fundraising and instilling competence across all levels of the UTAD. If he cannot do that, no amount of positivity and Flex Seal™️ will deliver on our expectations, and he will be miming tears in the unemployment line.

Dumbest shiz I've ever read in my life. Not this week, not this year, life.

Y’all are kidding yourselves if you think Jancek would be a good DC. No one wants him as DC at any major program. It would be a bad hire. Especially when you have Steele working here right now, you give it to him. I sincerely pray he is not interviewing to be DC. Don’t tell me we have money to spend and then hire Jancek.

I don't disagree with this statement. Just asking the question earlier. Wondered if Butch shouldered the responsibility for the sphincter shrinking at the end of those games we lost in the last possession.

Your prior post doesn't really make sense though. You are mad at DW appeasing his ego instead of yours. You also said he should worry about instilling competence. It would seem to me that he is doing just that. I think you have gotten so comfortable with the circus that has been UT athletics the past decade that you do not know how to handle anything different.

One thing I felt we needed in the next coach was someone likable. Dooley, Butch, nor Pruitt fit that description behind the scenes apparently. Hopefully Heupel is that guy.

Hell, Butch and Pruitt didn't fit that description in front of the camera either. I always found Butch to be a boring task-master, and I always found myself wanting to like Pruitt, but never actually being able to come around. I actually enjoyed Pruitt's good ole boy, "I'm just an ol football coach" style, but he frequently had body language and expressions like he didn't want to be here, which was a major turn off.

IMO the coach with the most likeable public persona since Fulmer was Dooley, but he might have been the biggest a-hole of them all behind the scenes.

What if having JRM and Barnett covered up how bad he was? No one else wants him as DC. Hopefully it’s just a position coach. He was not aggressive.

Was curious about if he even fits what Heupel wants, e.g. turnovers, pass rush. Would definitely be a meh hire. Guess the hope would be the defense is good enough, allowing the offense to win games.

I am liking what I am seeing of Heupel as a person. He seems like a decent guy, even if he is a bit awkward and doesn't project that "Leader of Men" quality that some coaches have. If he can just establish trust and credibility with the players, that will go a long way.

The players loved Pruitt because he didn't hold them accountable but that's gonna change with JH and I believe that's what most players want and need.

My favorite part of this is Arnett supposedly interviews with Texas and USC....the narrative becomes Texas and usc decided on a different direction.... arnett got a raise and put out a little blurb about how much he loves Mississippi state..... same thing with brown and us but the narrative becomes brown turned us down and we will never get a decent DC to come here.

This. This is why it is so important to control the leaks. The local, regional and national media love to paint a negative picture of anything to do with TN football. If you are considering 8 coaches and one leaks at a time, they are going to paint 8 negative pictures. And Vol fans are going to have 8 negative meltdowns. Anyone they contact is going to turn us down. If they are contacted by someone else, they didn't get the job. It is going to take a while to turn that around.
