So do we think as each Coaching name that comes out as being talked to by UT. You think the boosters are making calls telling them they will pull funds? And that is why there is no hires being made?

Good morning! Catching up this morning I was thinking of my nuclear engineering professor, Dr Bill Snyder who was also the chancellor at the time. He wore Tennessee suspenders every day, and played the organ at the Tennessee theater. He loved our university. I wish he were signing MOUs today.

Interesting night, bball game and chants and removals, a deerhunter, a denial and refusal of a Kiffen, season ticket holders to cancel because of the delorean.....

I posted on the previous page a thought on the conspiracy, and more and more the Manning "approval" and wish some would think. Why would someone who by all accounts loves this university, doesn't need the Haslams to get anything for a NFL job, who by accounts disliked schiano, and by all accounts true to his character would be willing to take the black eyes and criticisms of being a traitor....because he was raised as was his dad from the words of Archie's father in the 30 for 30, "just want to be a good guy"....do you side on the thought of what we know of our beloved or not?

If so, our boy was willing to take the heat for the greater good, because all indications are and have been he is a UT man through and through, and by him doing what he did I believe he is and it was for the greater good, gave haslam the final push to have the rope to hang himself.

much more to the character of Manning than what we have seen being said.....

This.

When Gruden takes the podium, just remember that Peyton Manning was the architect of the deal from day one.

Are some of you seriously still hoping for Gruden? I know this thread is fun, but come on. Really? Might as well get on the Doeren train.

I will be off the train if it is the Doeren train. No reason we should settle. If it turns out we turned down a trio of Kiffin, Tee, and Steele, then get Doeren, we will not recover for a long time. The fan base will respond.

Power corrupts. He isn't infallible guys. It's time people stop the hero worship and take him off the pedastal. He is still a man.

Hey, I'm open to the idea as more than possible and plausible. I put no man on a pedestal and know man is fallible.

But, think about him. Brand or not, from all accounts both privately and publicly he is just a good decent guy.

Which is more probable, him being who we think and thought or selling out all we thought for who, f****** Haslam........why? There is no real benefit to do so.

He doesn't need Haslam or anything from him, Manning has more than enough to do as he wishes and needs no one to help. Probability states he is more apt to care for the university, than Haslam.

This type of faculty member and fan has been overlooked and pushed to the side for far too long by this administration.
Soon we will all be able to wear our Orange with pride again.

I'm sorry with this much being said, I have to believe Peyton is on the wrong side. No reason imo to not make a statement about not being involved with Schiano, and botching other hires, unless it is true. I still have a sick feeling about it all.

it is always Gruden till it's NOT for here on out for me

When these threads got started again this year, 13 I think, I was told to gtfo because I said Gruden would never happen.

I got interested in Beaver and the theory. It was fun and it actually made sense, even though I really didn't buy it.

I started questioning everything and everyone, on both sides.

I finally got to the point of feeling I needed to commit to one side or the other. "You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything".

No one knows what's going to happen with this chit show. All kinds of things going on that some said wasn't realistic, never happen. Things even I said was stupid, right before it happened.

Guess what I'm saying is, I decided I had enough info to think Gruden was possible. I feel I need to stick with it until I'm proven wrong, which I probably am, but even though its was and is unlikely, its not not over. I'm not wrong. Yet.

It seems disappointment is inevitable at this point. Might as well be disappointed that Gruden doesn't happen and we get Deorean (sp),than he doesn't happen and we get worse.

I know. Tl;Dr.

Blackburn has to become the AD for the Gruden deal to pass in my opinion....I hope that happens

Haslam has to be out of the way for Gruden or any elite coach to come here...

How many times does it need to be said? It's Haslam, it's Haslam, it's Haslam... Currie is just one of his puppets...

No statement needed. The game is being played, and for him to continue silence allows the end game to happen.

Think about it, why Manning, why Schiano, and why he would ok it. He was the piece that solidified in Haslam's mind that he could do as he wanted.

The guy at UT, the one. The chosen one. Who we all know and can't argue one bit that he loves UT.

Who better to allow the napolean to move on and hang himself with no thought to how he was going to be harangued.

He is willing to take the crap and black eyes and criticism and hate because why......the result is justifed in the public punishment and he gets what he truly cares about done, and is willing to fall on the sword to achieve it. The truest sense of the word and from its origins...Volunteer!

For the love of God...We are not only the laughing stock of the College Football world, but the laughing stock of the entire sports world. Why does the Chancellor, President, AD and/or Mr. Everything Haslam not walk to the podium and take some kind of stance? The secrecy is deafening.

Peyton, Coach Fulmer...someone please make a statement on the direction of our beloved University. Haslams or whomever be damned. We are a joke to EVERYONE and the bleeding must stop.

Gruden to the Hill!!

Remember the Tylenol crisis? And how they were on TV rather quickly, pulled all of their stuff off of the shelves, owned up to their being a problem, didn’t wait, etc.?

Why on earth have Currie and Davenport just put out statements instead of trying to get ahead of this?

It’s full on crisis PR time and... silence.

If we legitimately hire the NC State guy over a Kiffin/Tee/Kevin S. package they have to know that will come out and ruin them.

You’ve got former players now tweeting a “wtf” brand of comments.

You’ve got Will McBride tweeting “wait none of this makes any logical sense”.

Seriously what on earth is going on?

We are seeing Haslam being reduced by connection to currie, the public sentiment is shifted to the good side, once it does the power is beginning to be relinquished.

Remove Currie, insert own AD, and his prowess is no longer, he doesn't have a yes man, and he can play politics behind the scenes but the new power players have seemingly begun to chose the winning side.

Davenport was a wild card. New. Think, any new person in any high profile power position has to chose a side at some point in conflict like this. They smartly play both sides and parcel out their personal objectives versus the outcomes.

The smart play is to not pick a side until the appearance of winner pops forth. I think we have seen this beginning to take shape, aside from the veto on the contracted out work denied to Haslams from a few months ago.

They don't care what we think. They have their agenda and it will be carried out at all costs if they remain in power.
