very hard for me to find credence in someone who writes for a newspapers located in the city with the one of the largest student body popultion in the state yet cant put 10,000 people in their football stadium. Sounds like alot of little brother butt hurt.
Yeah, this makes a lot of sense! smdh
How does writing a piece for a newspaper have anything to do with how many people show up for a football game?
By your logic, there's no way John Grisham could ever write a decent novel because he went to school in Mississippi...the state that has one of, if not the lowest, education rankings in the nation.
What does a guy in Murfreesboro know about UT sports? Nothing
What does anyone in Murfreesboro know about how a real athletic department works? nothing
if the writers was from Athens GA, Tuscaloosa, Lexington, etc.. there's a bit more credibility but coming from a school that struggles to get butts in seats but wants to dish out repimands reeks of jealousy.
is that slow enough for you?
The dysfunction at UT is deep. The article correctly identified Bama Dave as the majority reason Zo fled, but the "fickle-fan" comment remains stupid.
The "fickle-fans" filled TBA when we were underperforming. And the "fickle-fans" ate popcorn. The "fickle-fans" have EARNED the right to say, "Hey, we think we should be doing better right now. Hey, I really like the way Bruce Pearl got me fired up for basketball."
It's true that Hambone et al put us damn near on the event horizon of a black hole. But does anyone expect Bama Dave and Jimmy the Cheek to haul us out of the abyss?

Yes I do expect Hart to pull us out of the abyss. It's his job and all the evidence shows that's exactly what he's doing. Our Athletic Dept has never been more healthy than the days of Florida Doug....
Old news....not sure it should be in the football forum.....and sensational journalism. The writer calls people lackeys and says Hart mistreated Martin. Clearly pandering to the national audience or the uninformed.
CBP set the bar high. Martin had big shoes to fill no doubt. The next coach will have a tough time due to poor recruiting by Martin. Did Hammy hire Martin? I don't remember.
Divided fans? We all want to win!
Hell, when I was at UT we had wade Houston and Kevin Oneil!
Martin wrote his own death wish. It was not necessarily play on the court. It was his lack of engaging with fans and support. So much reminded me of Dooley. Butch understands the fan base thrives off interaction. Martin never even gave the effort. I'm not sure he like it here or he just has the personality of a wet mop. I like to give benefit of the doubt that he just didn't like it here and wants to be at a place where fans will leave him alone
This article has SOME correct information. But, that was written like a jilted middle school girl who just had her boyfriend snatched away. Almost like reading an opinion piece on VN.
Wow, how childish for someone with supposed professional credentials. Whatever pays the bills I guess.
Compare this article to this interview :crazy:
