Can we just celebrate a major step forward. My take (and hope) is that football people are back the door now and have some say. If true, that is a major victory over the powerful forces who were clueless but had overwhelming financial and political influence and who thought that only they...

Nope! This poor fan base is trying to save Tennessee football in the face of massive incompetence from the administration and a booster family with far too much control. Since this goat rodeo has reached this point, it could help make visible what the real problems are at UT. If we settle...

Agree completely. Something started going wrong around the time that Doug Dickey retired, and this apparently even extended above the level of AD. The commitment to maintaining the winning tradition faded. Note that Alabama went through a time like this before Saban was hired. They...

Then why was he just fired?

Or Nebraska. The Tom Osborn teams were some of the best I've ever seen. They absolutely undressed an excellent Florida team in a bowl game. Florida quit in the third quarter.

We keep hearing about "smoke screens". Not sure I understand what the purpose would be. What is gained bhy this?

You could be right. It will require a real burning to the ground though, but then some admin levels would be in jeopardy, and the point could irrevocably be made that the current "pilots" in the cockpit (admin and boosters) have flown into a mountain wide eyed. Multiple million dollar program...

With the signoffs on the last several coaching hires, the insistence on "blue light special" salaries, and the stated goals of significantly improving academics at UT, it is hard to think that the UT admin is serious anymore. If the things you mention really mattered, from the president's...

The events of the last ten years seems to make the a valid question to me. I keep seeing rumors that the administration is not as supportive as it once was, and we are certainly losing our standing in the SEC. If so, let's just cancel the unneeded $300 million Neyland upgrades, and consider a...

Is there any hope to fix the source of our problems...weak administration support now for the football program? In my mind, it is how we have gotten to the bottom. This seems to extend down from the BOT thru the Chancellor. Coach Fulmer and others remember Bob Woodruff, Doug Dickey, and...

It's instructive to see that advertising works.

Why is John Curry still "making decisions"?

So the Lane Kiffin, who is desirable because he "doesn't care" what others think, treasures what others think about a second chance. Well what happens when he "treasures" his next dream job and leaves UT in NCAA trouble again.

And leave UT in NCAA trouble when he bolts.
