Not much surprises me much now days, but I still stick to the values that my parents and Navy taught me. I've been a long time lurker to this thread and it has taught me that people still care about other people and it has been a blast the last few months keeping up in here. I still believe in the orange.

That is a really tough question to answer right now and one that will most likely changed over time. Is it better than Schiano? MILES Better. Could we have done better without all of the self inflected wounds? Yes.

Would you recommend a dehumidifier for a basement? I’ve been thinking of getting one.

Better than Schiano, I say yes. Self inflicted wounds too hard to overcome this time. But if its Pruitt, I support him, cause I'm a Vol.

Common knowledge with a play on words and then more common knowledge.

Really people? Call Beave what you will, reports were Here was considering the job. I happen to think the scorched Earth tactic Haslam and Currie used created collateral damage that high profile hires found untenable.

I think Beave served good purpose in print the stays quo in Knoxville on notice, that one man will no longer hold the football program hostage.

We have a hire with proven sustained results at the highest level possible. Due I have my reservations and wanted a home run but given the events of the last two weeks this was probably as good as it gets.

Edit: and I'm drunk at this point in the evening so I reserve the right to deny this post later!

Leach was on the hook as a back up to Gruden. We protested a OC w HC experience to end up with a OC as A backup to Gruden.

No report of the Grude saying no still.... Soon!

What a ride. Thanks fellow Grudenites for all the laughs, moments of frustration, and joy.

For those saying "I'm out"... Listen, I wanted Gruden too..badly. But to say "I'm done with this program"? How do you just turn it off? I didn't just wake up one day and decide to be a TN fan, I was born a TN fan. This doesn't change that fact. How you can simply walk away from it, I do not understand.

Vinnie, I’m not out but instead of donating 10,000 for tickets, I’ll choose the games that I want to go to and pay 200.00 for tickets and those that I don’t want to see, I’ll watch on TV. I’m a VOL fan and yes, I wanted Coach Gruden, but if he didn’t want us then I wanted a really good coach and there were many available and even had UT connections. I just can’t support a dysfunctional UTAD.

Ladies and gentlemen it has been an honor these past two months. I’ve enjoyed them thoroughly. I’ll still lurk around some threads and follow recruiting.

I Hope beaver does set up a golf outing or some type of party. On a side note beavers like to post ratio is out of this world. We will never see the likes of that again in VN history. That’s a fact. (Fact is in blue bc I know how some are when that word is used.) :)

Get off your laptops and phones and take a breather. We all deserve it. Thanks to everyone who made this thread enjoyable.

One last thing about Gruden. I hope the real reports come out because I would love to hear what happened,if anything. Why did we never hear of these meetings except inside this thread? What counter? Did we counter him or did he counter us? Was he wanting more than we wanted to pay? So many unknowns except for some 3-4 people coming in here telling us stuff. Maybe they was just going on what they was told but I’d love to hear it.

I wanted this to be true so bad that I have to admit I believed everything. It was like I was part of the worlds biggest conspiracy theory’s. It was fun though.

Where is Atlanta vol? He promised us!

I’m going to back Pruitt because I love this university ( I’ve got tattoos to prove it so I kinda don’t have a choice). I hope he can turn this program around and get us back to the dominant team we once was. SOON!

Went to a Christmas party and intentionally left my phone in my coat so I wouldn't be staring at it. Seeing a lot of threads titled official. Are we still in business here?

It's not about Gruden. There were many other choices we could have made that I would have supported. I cannot get behind a life long Bammer w/ no HC experience at this point in our history, with the state of the program, and hired by the all-time King Bama Hater.

I love this University and this program, which is exactly why I cannot support it being mismanaged to the extent it has been.

I don't question anyone's fandom for supporting the hire I disagree with, and ask that they don't question mine because they see it differently.

Wtf is wrong with you? Who did you want as the coach? Was it Pruitt all along? Who did you have hope would get hired? If it wasn't that coach, would you want someone coming into their thread and being a jerk about it?

Your trolling worse than those you claim to dislike.

Serious.. why?

Not enough attention at home? Little dick syndrome? Picked on at school? Feel hopeless in life and this is how you make yourself feel important?

Ftr I wanted Gruden, and I believed not one shred of info brought here by anyone.

But this was a place to hang out and have fun during the coaching search. Like a big tailgate party.

And spineless, mealy mouthed trolls just like you were always coming in to get your kicks.

Just stfu and go on.. grow up.
