No clue but it could be as simple as because, even if he knew he was going to get fired, if he were to not execute his duties to the best of his abilities & with appropriate effort that would give UT another "for cause" argument to negate his buyout.

Option 1 really won't work unless the big money donors stop giving money too. You'd also have to contend with people that are happy with simply having a seat at the table & those that feel they have to support the athletes regardless of bad AD leadership, etc... Option 2 might be fun to dream...

He's not complaining about the media covering the story. They'd be dumb not to. Rather he's saying that the UTAD is dysfunctional & that leaking the "internal" investigation was done in bad faith to elicit a specific response. No comment on the actual tweeter or his history, just that the info...

Someone should tell the other schools making a change that they are not allowed to do it because of COVID. SMH.

That is the issue with hiring an inexperienced head coach for a team that needed a big rebuilding project. Maybe a green head coach can tread water while learning on the fly at a stable, good program but it is almost impossibly hard for a first time head coach to grow into their role while also...

The big donor is Mit Shah, partial owner of the ATL Hawks.

The one thing to consider is the new December signing day. Expecting a coach to stay with his old team until the season is 100% over was not optimal but manageable before. But it's borderline crazy now if the new team wants to hang onto recruits. If that provision is in Alabama assts'...

Ehh kinda, but it was largely the political and big boosters who really kicked the reversal with Schiano past the breaking point. But they were definitely spurned on by the general fanbase. Need to hope some boosters are working behind the scenes to stop this if you don't want Doeren but at...

Well yeah, the whole point of a dog catcher is actually catching dogs. Currie hasn't shown the ability to even catch a cold at this point and he surely hasn't found & caught a new coach.

Wes Rucker @wesrucker247 3m I don’t pretend to be a genius, but it doesn’t take a genius to see that the #Vols administration is offering someone its fans just don’t want. Sometimes that ends well (Chizik won a national title at Auburn). Usually it doesn’t end well, though.

He's a Ron Wellman apprentice, aka the man who set back WF Basketball for going on 8 years now by running a one man search committee and hiring a friend (Jeff Bzdelik) he'd known for years over the objections of most everyone else. He ginned up a totally BS quote sheet from past coaches &...

Per ADS-B there is a plane registered under N555GE heading to Knoxville from Dallas. It's registered to Cellular Sales Aviation LLC out of Knoxville. It is not transmitting its call sign and is blocked on Flightaware. Could be a plane associated with UT as schools routinely use planes outside...

Most of the Canadian basketball scene is inundated with media coverage now, especially since the high major players likely play on either CIA Bounce or Canada Elite. So recruitment of Canadian players is basically the same as the recruitment of US players. Hard to keep the recruitment...

Figured I'd put my thoughts into this thread. I am a Wake Forest grad and the Deacs will always be #1 for me. However, through my sister by a UT grad, I am also a Vol fan. I do not follow UT sports as closely as I do WF sports but I still know what is going on and really care for the school and...
