I would not say that I'm 100% he's gone. With that said, I don't see how he can survive. We all need to get up in the morning and start again with emails. They need to fire Currie and remove Haslam from the search committee. UT Football will not survive with these people at the helm..Who in the hell wants to hire Schiano?

Yep, we all need to do what we did today again tomorrow

I just hope everyone still has the fight left in them

This may have already been stated in some way or another, but here goes anyway.

He said never say never, he talked about loving Rocky Top but he never denied or said no publicly.

It looks as if Currie never asked him? He was only interested in Schiano.

Maybe there was nothing to deny? Maybe saying "never say never" was an invitation to ask? Maybe talking about Rocky Top was him saying look at me, I am interested. I know it may be really far fetched, but the fact he nor his agent never said no was because he didn't have anything to say no to?

As I said in another thread, maybe Gruden was trying to send a not so subtle message (not to the base but) to Currie that he was indeed interested.

This is a failure of epic proportions.

Same guy who didn’t know what happened if an NFL playoff game ended in overtime? Ok...

Not saying he’s right. I’m just saying that’s overwhelmingly the national perception right now. No big time coach is gonna come within 100 miles of Knoxville now unless some major changes happen.

Then he damn well needs to say something!! PM has enough pull with TNs AD to NOT be thrown under the bus.

I don't want to believe that PM was involved in this cluster**** but his silence is damning, to say the least.
Click to expand...

He’s too busy playing golf and picking up retirement gifts to give a rat’s ass about his beloved Alma mater. I don’t think he was involved. But I don’t think he’s ever involved in anything that doesn’t have to do with the Mannings.

I prefer that too. But it's difficult for info to flow freely when posted info either gets shouted down or starts a huge fight in thread.

Just saying. Free flow of info has been DISincentivized. It happens, just the nature of the interwebz.

Edit: to be clear, I am not saying Freak or the mods have disincentivized info here. They do a great job for the most part of keeping trolls subdued.

Disincentivized is hard to say out loud. Try it three times fast.

I think nearly everyone that at first said manning wasnt involved have now said he was. Not sure, but i think so.

And this sucks.....

PM had a visible "cussing out" of the jack-wagon that they tried to hire and now, all of a sudden, he's on-board with his hiring at his school???

PM has lost my support if that is the case.

Look....

I don't come to your place of business and tell you how to cook french fries.......

Leave people alone doing what they want to do. Last I heard, this was a free country.

Hang up and GTFO......

Hmm, if your "place of business" in this analogy is Volnation.com, and you are leaking things for over a month that are completely false, sounds like you should start looking into other career fields. You know what else you can do in a free country? Tell people they're FOS. In this case Beaver, VolNExile, OrangePill, etc. are FOS. Maybe they honestly believed they weren't, but they certainly ended up being it nonetheless.

This place being any sort of source of "inside information" (along with VQ) is officially debunked at this point.

Here’s my fear in all of this. Fatigue. I’m afraid the powers that be will just wait us out until we give in. They will hire someone average and we will be forced to accept it. Currie will sell this person and the majority of the boosters will go along with it because they are tired of fighting it too. Time passes by, basketball is in full swing and coach ______ will have some top recruit flip to us and all of a sudden this will be forgotten. And this thread and what it stands for will look like a high school gymnasium after the big game. Trash on the floor, remnants of the banners torn and on the floor and the lights all turned off except that one that just worn burn all the way out. I hope AtlantaVol and company remember us, the forgotten fans, and take the fight to them for 60 mins, hours or days or however long it takes. We can only do so much.

I think we're way beyond that at this point. Someone brought up the election earlier and how the People decided they had enough of the constant political speak and decided to fight back.

Yesterday and today, Volnation fought back. And they are tired of seeing what's been happening, tired of a single family making the decisions, tired of half assed coaches being shoved down our throats and this move to try to sneak a coach in just drew the ire of everyone involved.

Yesterday, we drew the proverbial line in the sand and are daring Currie to cross it.

Yeah it sucks. The only thing i can think of is PM wants to support Haslem to set himself up for an NFL spot. Just speculation of course.

Its mind boggling that anyone thought this was a good idea.

D. Mcnabb on ESPN radio said after this debacle UT is last on the list of all open jobs. That’s why people are saying Tee. Because he might actually say yes. The big splash hires aren’t gonna happen now. JMO.
Click to expand...

Not buying that at all. Miles has contacted UT and he would be a very good hire. Based off resume and career if we hired him we would have made the best college football HC hire. This is a no brainer hire and should already be done.

SFD is on vacation. I have only been able to keep up a tiny bit.

If AV was blindsided, every single person not named Currie, schiano, or Haslam was blindsided.

Gruden's tie is apparently purple tonight.

Not sure if that's relevant or not, but figured I'd share.
