Chancellor Davenport,
When will this dog and pony show end? Neither you nor Currie have quelled the madness that transpired on 11/26/17.
As a lifelong Vol, alumnus and supporter of this great institution, I demand answers, but most of all, I demand the best from our leadership. What occurred yesterday is beyond despicable and is widely regarded as reprehensible. There is no way in hell anyone involved could justifiably agree that this was the most viable option to rectify and rejuvenate an already depleted, beleaguered team and fan base. I am physically sick that my alma mater has disregarded what's been screaming in their ear for years - the voice of the fans. We showed up and showed out yesterday, and this is far from over.
To believe John Currie during his press conference on the dismissal of Lyle Allen Jones, Jr., one would have to be completely disassociated with reality or mentally ill. We were promised a coach who will put Tennessee on the path to competing for championships, not an enabler for despicable, heinous acts who just happens to be a bad coach. If UT believes this is apathy, you've seen nothing. Imagine, if you will, a cavernous stadium filled to half capacity (and this is a stretch), a drastic down-turn in apparel and licensed merchandise sales, a tentatively approved $340M stadium renovation and other lavish dreams on the academic and athletic fronts, has UT considered where the funds will come from? It will not come from this fan base. Will the Haslams foot the bill to maintain their death grip on power? This may be the only option left if this is mishandled any worse than it already has been. Further, I believe UT's allegiance to anything Haslam will alienate other well-endowed athletic and academic boosters. It only takes open eyes and ears to realize the contentious battles within the UTAD. It is a well-known truth that no one outside of the Haslams and their puppets cares for the control and power wielded from Jim Haslam. The marionette stopped dancing yesterday because the strings were cut.
The king is one move away from checkmate. It's your turn.
Thank you,

Thoughts anyone?
someone with the right words needs to help with some of our letters....
Dear Mother Fer is not going do me no good....help me please....Thanks
edit: Thanks Squints, thatll work for me for a draft if nothing else
to who?
how high up?
it's gotta go higher than davenport.
Lane Kiffin or Tee Martin or I give up. Jeff Brohm will do nothing to salvage this.
Kiffin brings excitement, Martin brings his legacy. Brohm brings apathy.
I don't "know" him, just interacted with him multiple times, and know his family somewhat.

I would LOVE to see a post by someone who actually knows the makeup of the BoT --Jim vs Jimmy vs both, which boosters are actually on the BoT, is there a separate athletic BoT, all that.
An awful lot of people name names, and there's not a ton of consistency among them.
What do we really know about who runs things in this lunatic asylum?
I posted this in on a different thread...
Lane may be a loose canon, and might not always think before he speaks, but hes a lot smarter than people give him credit for. This would be too big of a risk for him.
If he comes back, half the fans wont accept him. No one in the AD will, truly, trust him. And if he doesnt succeed, the fan base will eat him alive.
Plus, the ADs not going to take that risk, during this PR nightmare..
