And the quiet period marches on.
For the folks who are hoping to hear something substantive about the coaching search today, fact is, all we're gonna get today is some football. Hoping the lads pull off a big surprise upset with Brady Hoke changing things up just enough, and lining talent up with opportunity on the field.
Okay, okay, you gotta have something? Then keep an eye out for John Currie before, during and just after the game...see if he's hanging out with anyone interesting. Same for Beverly Davenport, though sightings of her at football games are less common. I'm not saying there's anything to see, I'm no insider, just saying that's about the ONLY kind of hints we could possibly get out of today's game. No one's announcing anything.
Today's about football, not football coaching searches.
At the same time, we may continue to hear "news" from the media types who continue to catch whispers reflected off the kiddie pool walls. This morning, apparently had a rash of "back from the dead"-themed reactions...just more waves reflecting off the walls.
So have a great day of football watching, including our lads against the Swamp Tigers. Hoping for an early Christmas gift win.
Go Vols!
Do you guys even listen to yourselves?? If thats true, youre making a guy that hasnt coached in 10 years (and proven nothing at the college level) the highest paid in the country. And nevermind the fact he was a good (not great) coach in the NFL. This is literally what would happen if they put one of you fools in charge of the AD. You roll the dice on something like that, and it doesnt work out, then the program is the laughing stock of the entire country. Oh and whats the buyout on a contract like that? If hes not winning championships in year one with those numbers I know you guys will want him fired.
Twitter is quiet this morning! I think I prefer that over Gruden never coming, and he'll be a horrible coach!

Im actually excited about it just being football today. I think our coaches are excited to show what they can really do. Watch Larry Scott call a decent game... I think were too banged up to change a whole lot but I bet theres more energy in that stadium than theres been all year.

Do you not read the defeatism in your words?
We rolled the dice on an unproven and inconsistent coach because he interviewed well and promised to bring his all-world dad along to coordinate the defense.
We ran a risk with an unproven mid-major coach because he interviewed well and his last name sounded just like that of a guy who was a darn good coach in an armpit somewhere down in backwoods Georgia.
We took a chance with an untested coach who had teams built for him because the men in charge were in panic and down to the last man on their list.
None of these men achieved anything of any note at any point of their lives. None of them were connected to Tennessee in any respect. None of them understood or respected our traditions.
Now you say we are fools for wanting someone who has achieved the highest honors in his profession? We are fools for wanting someone who understands Tennessee? We are fools for wanting someone who gets our traditions and want to do his best to live up to them?
If that is what a fool makes, then give me the Pantone 151 dunce cap and I will wear it with honor.
