The hits just keep coming. No delorean for me, not into gullwings.

 

[Rizzo924]

I've changed the recommended chant for tonight from
"Please fire Currie" to "Must fire Currie".

Shorten - "FI-YER CUR-RIE!" {Clap., Clap. Clap-clap-clap}

 

[revjayp]

maybe they just want to wait til Dec 6th to hire Brohm, save a million on the buyout.

So in other words, you don’t know either. No one knows what’s going on up there. It’s a mad house.

Boooooooo, rational thought left a few days ago.

 

[TheFbright]

Doeren is by far the worst option so far. As a coach, he is on par with Schiano and he’s below Butch. This cannot happen.

At this rate, let’s go get George Quarles at Furman! The old Maryville HS coach. I don’t know how he’s doing at Furman, but I know the man knows how to win.

 

[superdave1984]

We know Currie is doing what Haslam tell him. So we know by Bev and Joe standing up to Currie, they are really standing up to Haslam. Reasoning at this point doesn't matter. Just the fact they stood up is a huge plus.

Maybe they actually read their emails and have an understanding of the fanbase?

 

[revjayp]

Just offer Gruden 15 mil a year and be done with it already.

It’s not Gruden. It’s the people he’d have to work for. They suck and don’t want to relinquish control.

 

[BubbaWms]

Is Johnny Majors available or even Les Miles :thud:

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

I'm sorry but this is just getting funny. I've poured my heart into Tennessee football but after all this is through. I believe it'll be over for me. I won't watch another game if a crappy coach is hired.

Well, waiting til dec 6th would be the smart thing to do, so that's probably not it.

Nailed it.

I led my 12 yr old son’s team to a 6-2 record. We came from behind to win 3 of those games in the 4th quarter too! Now, it was basketball but...

 

[VFLnSFD]

Four coaches offered in 24 hours.

Let that sink in...

Desperation.

I believe the tide may be shifting.

 

[Wild @s a Mink]

Four coaches offered in 24 hours.

Let that sink in...

It’s not a good look. hmy:

 

[SportsVol]

Chant tonight where?

Basketball game.

Don't forget protest at Gate 21 on Saturday.

 

[tennvols77]

I passed that emotion a little awhile ago, not too long ago actually, but have thrown caution to the wind and have reaffirmed my position to go down with this ship, it feels better so why not.

 

[VolsLady-in-FL]

It’s not Gruden. It’s the people he’d have to work for. They suck and don’t want to relinquish control.

I know. I still don't think they ever talked to him, and his "never say never" and Rocky top comments were him pitching it out there that he's interested.

 

[ATPVol]

Every coaching hire fail...is another Gruden to The Hill chance.

Soon.

 

[tennvols77]

Well, waiting til dec 6th would be the smart thing to do, so that's probably not it.

That's more like it.

 

[smittysmitt3434]

Yeah, yeah, not a real fan I know, but...

This morning I got dressed for work and after I walked into the bathroom and saw my orange shirt, I went and changed clothes. I am embarrassed to be associated with the morons on the Hill. I will always love UT. I will never give up on them, but I cannot stand to be associated with them this week.

 

[Otis07]

folks on Volnation said he would be a good hire before Butch.....this administration would screw that hire up also

 

[Coastypop]

We are so f****d.

Maybe.... BUT I intend to enjoy it while I simply believe we have a chance

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

The only way to truly cause change is to be willing to burn it all down so it can rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.

Contacting the University is great, but the old saying goes something along the lines of money talks & bs walks but when the money walks folks start to squawk.

Economic impact will have multiple folks screaming bloody murder about this situation.

How much do you spend annually in Knoxville to attend UT sporting events? Hotels, meals, shopping?

Call those businesses you frequent and let them know that due to the incompetence in the AD and the continuing Haslam Family control of athletics you can no longer in good conscience attend events in Knoxville and the $$$(dollar amount) you normally spend with their establishment will no longer be spent. Let the Chamber of Commerce and Mayor’s office know this as well with total spent annually.

Are you a business that advertises with the Vols? Game day programs, score boards, digital ring in Neyland? Give Steve or Brandon a call and let them know why you will not be purchasing any advertising due to the incompetence in the current Athletics Department.

There must be a consequence outside of the University to get attention focused on the problems within the University.

Steve has been there a long time..Goes back to days when the amazing Ed Huster ran the network.

 

[BubbaWms]

if Haslam can't see that as an option he's crazier than I thought.....lose $200mil from boosters or pay JG 5 mil more a year....sucked @ math but duh !

 

[shaggymoe]

I’m done , this is beyond ridiculous. Going to cancel the softball camp we were going to come to next month. That’s no hotel stay ,no money at restraunts. If 100,000 people do the same thing , things will happen.
It’s gruden or nothing for me at this point.
