Agreed--they should ask for input from those 3 if nothing else. I was there 85-87.

The "leadership" over there is too prideful and foolish to ask for input from former players and alumni. For some reason, they've all acquired this immeasurable arrogance that is an instant turn-off.

Tinnell recruited me. He's way overqualified to run the program, as is Harold and Mitchell, though Mitchell's demeanor would rule him out anyway-----he's a very sour soul. Looks like its Goss's for a year, so let's support him and wish him well.

Dane's an embarrassment, incompetence at its highest. There's not one single task he can handle. He and that trashmouthed obnoxious prick known as Colonel Kaler.....if I ever see him again, I swear I will beat him beyond recognition.

Before. Harold left after the '87 year, my last.

And Harold was an exemplary person and damn good player also.........seeing him catch Kevin Tuck was poetry in motion.

I know that both he and Pappy were approached on some level when Prather stepped aside. Harold's with the Tigers now as a scout and had no interest and I dont know specifically about Roger but nothing materialized so I guess he wasnt interested. Roger Deskins (Pappy) was a prototypical...

Prather was a buffoon, a total laughingstock. I know, I played at the school when that jackass was coach.

Prather is now and was then nothing but a complete joke.

Dane would rather watch his children starve in the street than support baseball. Its an damn embarrassment, the program is a laughingstock, and thats hard to stomach for someone who played there. The Chancellor and AD are just ignorant buffoons with no business drawing paychecks from the...

Thats what I hear. I wish it were a joke, and hopefully my source is wrong. Either way, the way this has been handled is laughable and embarrassing.

Its an embarrassment, from the timing of Cates' reassignment to the public way the AD differed to the resulting diminished candidate pool. The Chancellor Rakes is a stumbling buffoon and the AD has been an acknowledged clown since Hollis retired. Its a joke. Would seem like they'd interim...

I'm a Tennessee-Martin alum, played there, and know the program and Dane personally. I can absolutely assure you that Dane has no respect amongst his peers, his administration, or ex-players such as myself.

Agreed. I played there as well, and have had some dialogue with Dane, as have had some of the guys I have played with. Dane's the most bitterly distasteful, aggressively hostile administrator I can even fathom, much less interact with. Even the most benign inquiry provokes the most...
