Without the Sandusky ties, Schiano gets hired. That's the truth. Yes it would've been an ugly welcoming, but the whole reason Schiano got rejected outright is because of the Sandusky ties. UT fans would've been pissed but there would've been nothing we could do about it. See Derek freaking Dooley...
Hate to bust your bubble, but the fans alone did not do this. This was orchestrated by big boosters (not named Haslam) who have powerful friends..
I hate to see fans get all the blame for this. The fans also should not take all the credit either...
You really think this wasn't cause of the fans? Even after all the tweets stating that GS and others were worried about the scene in knoxville with the fans?
Really? Cause apparently neither Currie or Haslams appeared to be scared of other boosters cause they still tried to go through with this hire until the fan outrage was so bad that they had no choice but to kill it

Yes I do. It's the fans they're not scared of. Don't get me wrong, I've NEVER been more proud of this fanbase and **** anyone who says different, but this wouldn't have happened without a serious threat that fans alone aren't capable of.
If the fanbase is going to protest anything in mass, it has to be the Haslam influence. It has to be directed at the administration, BOT, and legislators. I am afraid we are screwed on this coaching hire.
We have to encourage the media to investigate the Haslam influence and what exactly his role is in the AD and the coaching search. Not only locally but nationally.
At this point, we might as well change the name of the university to Haslam University.
Everything points to Haslam being ran out of town. Who has the stones to start the movement. If 100 people showed up today it would go viral and he'd be gone by the end of the week!
All this would do is encourage the existing perception of Tennessee fans being a bunch of uncivilized hillbilly hicks. And other ugly things pertaining to Tennesseans in general. We don't need anymore attention suggestibng we're all a bunch of whining, miserable, millennial meatheads.
