Won’t argue most coaches are jerks, but why are we simply settling for “the best we could supposedly” that’s why we’re here. Dooley was a panic hire and Jones was because Strong jilted us and Hart was in a hurry. I’m tired of just settling but like I said I will give him 3 years to prove me...

The “believe everything UT sells us” crowd is a part of the reason we’re here now. Until we demand excellence and accept nothing less we’ll be just like Vandy, Missouri, etc.

Guess at least now we have a home where those of us who aren’t simply Sunshine pumpers can talk. I’m unimpressed by this hire to say the least, but I will give the guy a chance only because I’m tired of being mediocre. Given that we almost hired a thin skinned, control freak just like Jones in...

Good luck selling another pitiful, cheap hire to this fanbase. We wanted Haslam out because this was his m.o. and we get the same unfortunately it seems. I get it if indeed JG turned us down, but if not I’m gonna be madder than heck.

Tucker or Steele while everyone else hires Taggart, Fisher, and so on. Any wonder we’ve been pretty much irrelevant for a decade. Fulmer is just like Hart, Hamilton, or Currie. Just once I’d have loved a huge seismic splash like Gruden instead of just another nobody cheap hire.

The optimist in me keeps thinking that the nervousness Gruden showed yesterday is a sign he’s saying yes. However, the Battered Vol Syndrome kicks in and says Tucker or Steele. I’m hoping I’m wrong, but we’ve been disappointed so much over the past decade it’s hard not to expect it. Will be...

So very sorry for your loss. Mothers are the most special people on this Earth. Prayers in this tough time.

No. We can do better.

I love this thread. Last night I was dying laughing at the e-orgy, enjoyed the Benton’s Bacon talk(got to try some myself it is awesome) and of course all the hope I get here. Thanks to everyone here for everything.

Unfortunately this just sounds to correct to be anything but true. Currie’s “statement” essentially calling Vol fans stupid for running off his and Haslam’s guy Schiano and now how we reacted to Doeren makes me think he’ll play this exact card. “I gave you what you wanted, he failed. Now shut up...

Even though the Grumors have died down, I still love this thread. More quality information and people here. God bless you all. Sincerely.

Done.

I would definitely be onboard with Tee provided we give him a proper experienced high level staff. Fulmer had Cutcliffe and Chavis so why couldn’t Tee succeed with coordinators of that caliber? I certainly would take someone who has a vested interest in the University over someone who views it...

To me this statement reeks of You should shut up and know your place. I’m smarter than you so leave ma alone.” Nowhere is there an apology for the embarrassment he has brought to this program and nowhere does he say that he understands our criticism of his hire. In fact, I read it as him saying...

It was pure hubris on Currie’s part in my honest opinion. He thought he was making a big time hire and that Vol Nation would adore him because he got his guy. He believed the fans making noise were just a loud minority and that once again Vol fans would rally around the new coach as we’ve whole...
