Can we STOP pressing our influence now?

[chuck0303]

We stopped Schiano, possibly helped to discourage Doeren from taking the job, got Currie fired, and got Fulmer in place over Haslam’s guy. Pretty incredible work by our fanbase. If we had not done anything, Schiano would be coach and Currie still would be AD, and Haslam would still be pulling all the strings. Now we just need to let Phil do his job and support the new coach that he hires.

Well, Fulmer can be a hero or a zero, the choice literally is his. If he fails then Davenport needs to be fired too.

Well done Vols fans! We came together at* the right time to press our influence and stop the wrong hire, didn't let up until we got a UT person in charge of some things. Ms. Davenport has seen the picture and gave us our guy. Seriously, Congratulations.

That being said, can we please shut up on social media, get the national media off our behinds and let ADF make a great hire? PLEASE!

Nope

Born and raised in Tennessee many years ago. Was proud to be from a state of tuff as nails God fearing people. Always more ap to help you than hurt you. Strong minded but raised polite "yes sir no sir" yes mam no mam" seems most Tennesseans are gone. Sad to say! Guess we're down to just people that live there. I believe in PASSION! But feel just as strongly about COMPASSION! Go Vols!

I can’t believe I am seeing people mention it

They talking about this on the gator board?

I would advise that people also stop living in fantasy land about Gruden, Kiffin or Petersen being back in play.

I would advise a Florida fan not try to advise Tennessee fans on a Tennessee message board on how they should feel about a coach.

Yes Please. And, can we stop believing every rumor that comes along? It's now Phil's job to select our next coach. I trust him to get it right. I also trust he knows way more than I on this topic.

No. Hard to trust Phil if it's true he was on board with Dave Doeren. I'd like to trust him on this...cuz I like and respect the guy but I'm not 100% convinced he's gonna make the "right" hire.

Continued vigilance to keep the Haslams on the sideline will be required over the long term. Control freaks don't just quietly slink away - they scheme for revenge and a return to power.

This^ And Vols don't let Vols Love Flying J Pilots, or anything to do with the Browns.

Hazmats are toxic!

I don’t think we’ll have to. I think Fulmer will squash any rumors that are prevalent and damaging. That being said he didn’t say Gruden ain’t coming......

It's hard to let the Grumors go when the few people who have gave information about what was going down actually came to pass. A group of Boosters has been planning this for almost five yrs after Haslam kicked them in the stomach when Butch was hired. We were told there was a plan in place weeks ago to get Currie out and push Haslam back. Plan A was present a deal with Gruden they couldn't refuse but Haslam refused the control and fought for another puppet coach. Also we were told there was a plan B if that happens and it's gonna get ugly and the media is gonna smear our name. They even said Peyton was gonna have to take a black eye of sort if they had to press to plan B.Guess what that happened to. HE DECEIVED THE DECEIVER. Today was step 1 of plan B now it's time for step 2 of plan B. Press Gruden again. This was all laid out weeks ago but you all refused to believe it. Now let's see how they fair on the press the White Whale.

Welcome to VOL fantasy land...Some of those bozos will be screaming soon enough that we didn't try and get one of those guys...Just watch it will happen...Still got people on here thinking Cutcliffe will come back as well...Most don't try and keep up with what is actually going on.

Ya can't put the toothpaste back in the tube

You can, but it will be covered in hair because you're too lazy to clean the sink after you shave.

Seriously, though.... How hard is it to just take a paper towel and wipe the sink? I mean, they're RIGHT THERE!

 

[Vfl83]

Well the Gators did live in a Kelly done deal fantasy land for a short time. I can see how talking about your dream coach gets them in their feelings.

Yep mission accomplished. We should all feel a sense of pride right now. Taking to my brothers and parents today... It all felt really good.

Lol. Yeah... Agreed.
