Woohoo!

HOPEFULLY Phil bucks the Haslams and all affiliations with them. Please Phil, make things right again. Don't hire a buddy that's a cultural fit. Hire a winning coach

The press release said he was "acting" AD. That ought to help bring in a coach, might as well name Brady Hoke the next coach.

I believe they made it for 2 years, which should be sufficient to quell any concerns of potential coaches.

This is it... the real war may have just started. Or business as usual. We won't have to wait long to see which way this goes... actually his first move will be telling. A great chess match about to start.

Now bring in David Blackburn as associate AD, to assume the position of AD when Fulmer retires!

I don't want to see a chess match, I want great football.

There are 100,000 butts that sit in Neyland Stadium every home game and only a handful are named Haslam. After all I heard and read about that family they would be better served to remove their butts from Tennessee football, the University and the Governors office and move their pathetic asses to Cleveland.

The Haslam name is tarnished forever in Tennessee.

He doesn't want to do this forever, think blackburn. But he's going to unite this thing and right the ship before turning it over.
