I think PM implying that T's not ready, probably true. Its a big gamble that we may have to take but would rather not....

So PM’s back up who beat Florida and won a Natty isn’t ready to be a HC? According to whom? Oh yeah, a guy who’s never been a college coach and might just be a little envious of those who have - particularly one who won a Natty the year after he graduated. Anyone else see what I see here? hmmm....

I ain't worried. She's a free woman and I'm not sweating it. You know why?

I make her laugh.

With my clothes on before one of you punks gets the idea to come up with some chippy remark.

Good thing you added the part about your clothes being on, that could have been embarrassing 😜

Ok. Because I am an eternal optimist...thoughts on this? Currie now painfully realizes his legacy is on the line with this hire. He has to be so spooked based on yesterday. Is there any chance that, based on the fact that he apparently began the process of getting Schiano 2.5 weeks ago, never seriously gave Gruden consideration? Does Currie, now panicking because of the massive pressure he is under, go and give Gruden whatever he wants to "get his man?"

Thoughts?

No.

I thought Peyton was supposedly key in the Gruden deal. Now suddenly he is Haslams right hand man making calls for Schiano support? Am I missing something here? Peyton can get out if true and I mean it too. To hell with him if he's really that crappy of a person to side with Haslam. And not supporting Tee- get out due to that too.

I like Tee. I just think he's underperforming as a OC. I like coaches who milk all the talent out of a player they can. Coaches who do more with less. Then when they get the good players at a better school, great things can happen. I just don't see it with Tee right now, but I've been wrong before.

I think the draw with Tee is that he is a familiar face coaching at a high level. In desparate times, people seek familiarity. Its human nature. I dont know if he would succeed here or not, but he would be a calming figure to the current dumpster fire. I doubt he would subject himself to it right now though.

Be prepared for people to yell at you for that. But I agree 100%

Yea, I don't even know what this means.

Son did Gruden buy that house and get into that Golf Club? I’m still holding out hope. Never say never to nothing man.

So long time lurker on here and finally decided to join. I think I've kept up for the most part and just want to say thanks to all that bring honest info and I feel like I've seen enough to know who those are. I don't claim to be an insider nor have any insider connections, just friends of friends who may be, and everything I have gathered from them lines up with ATL and no one on the other side of the aisle so to speak even knew anything about this Schiano deal until it all came out yesterday. Like I said I'm no insider and not joining now acting like I've been on here for years, but just glad to finally join there seems to be a lot of passionate Vol fans and very respectable people I wouldn't mind conversing with from time to time.

Thank you

When federal dollars are dispersed to state and local governments, then guess what, whatever those funds are used for is also FOIA-ble...I have worked in state and Federal govt...I have had to respond to numerous requests...ultimately all a part of being "open and transparent"...try again with another internet search.

In all FOIA, there are exemptions...and how things are worded as far as the informations status, can influence if it would be eligible or "available" for dissemination.

Anytime something like this arises cause will be evaluated. So my answer is yes but I have not been told directly by anyone at this time.

The thing now is do not let up. Write, call, text, tweet. If you know anyone booster, player, BOT, legislators, make it your mission to help. This does not need to stop with Currie.

For those that are worried about the national media making us look bad. Stiffen your back and do what’s right. Stand up for Tennessee and don’t be a wilting violet in the face of a bunch of wind bags. Many people give lip service to giving your all for Tennessee and now is your chance. Don’t go quietly or be shouted down.[/QUOTE]


Quoting so this does not get hidden

Evening folks, I haven’t been on the board for like 24 hours because I’ve been busy engaged in the pointless exercise of arguing with the members of the national media and other outsiders criticizing our fan base and also trying to summarize the law as it applies to the schiano situation in 280 characters or less. I’ve also probably ruined all chances of ever being hired as legal counsel at Pilot, which wasn’t altogether wise given my desperate attempts to find a job back in Knoxville so I can get out of Charlotte. Oops! But I did want to pop in and lend my support to those being crucified for fanning the Gruden flames. Who cares who beaver is and whether knuck or Tuesday were insiders. It’s the internet. I personally am a logical and calculated individual. That said, I was a fully committed Gruther. I chose to believe anything positive anyone was selling regarding Gruden while explaining away negative Gruden info. But I didn’t do it because someone said they were an insider. If you’re mad because you accepted as gospel something someone posted on an internet chat board, I’ve got some ocean front property in Tennessee I’d like to sell you. The Gruden stuff has been fun and it’s given me something to do at night. And while I realize it’s drawing to a close, I’d probably be right back on the Grumor train given even the tiniest morsel of info.

Me too

Peyton can't play both sides of the field and I read that he was sending all the old VFL players tweets to get on board with Schiano.

Tee's are best shot and we need him back home.

If Peyton won't go to bat for Tee, then Peyton is not the Vol that I once knew and loved.

Sad thing about it is... Haslam will not leave till we have a new governor. At least not fully. This is complete and utter bull****.

Excuse my French. If it were not for the fans.. UT would be screwed for another 5 years.
