Did you mention he is a politician? That answers your first question.

Show us the MOU. Otherwise, it is just another Twitter trash rumor. Just like those by MIT-Beaver and his team of trolls.

Beaver isn't a state representative but it's been proven he's highly connected...but yea it's twitter trash ,lets all ignore a state representative that will lose his job or make him look less credible, I don't think you understand the magnitude of him tweeting that...when before we had no one other than this board saying gruden was a possibility,now state representatives are coming forward?...I think I would take it for what it is and see what becomes of it,where there is smoke there is fire and it's a forest fire right now

I know this will not be popular but Ainge is really pushing for fans to lay off social media, especially twitter for now. Coaching candidates are beginning to refuse taking calls due to fans per Ainge and Rice. They have talked to coaches who have said there is no amount of money they could be paid to come here, not because of admin but because of fans. It is one thing to push the admin it is another to disparage the university to potential coaches and be rude to them as coaches. Just passing the info along. Do whatever you want. GBO!

Um...we dont want any garbage coaches...which is all they are going after.

I think one coach would come here after Currie is gone and Haslam is nuetered.

According to Sun Tsu the purpose of war is to advance the goals of the state. Von Clausewitz said it was to achieve an end state different and hopefully better than the beginning state. ... But, if a war is to be fought, it must be fought with the betterment of the state as its goal.

Holy crap how you guys seen the other threads ? It never ceases to amaze me what adversity does to people . If you peek outside you can see just how easy people give up . I get that people have different personalities but blaming the fans because we have high expectations for our university , coaches , players and Admin is just ridiculous .

What do they expect us to do? When we say nothing, they bring in the Dooley, Butches and Schianos. What other choice do we have. They either destroy UT or we do at this point. Might as well be by our hand this time.

Yeah - that is BS. They won't take the calls because they know the Administration is a train wreck. These guys are smart. They know a well-oiled machine can deal quickly with social media. The fact that it is spinning out of control is not a reflection on the fans - its a reflection on the administration's Public Relations incompetence. These coaches know that.

Think of how much you thought you knew a week ago. They are playing games behind the scenes that none of us are privy. Here's what we know, though:

* They tried to hire a coach behind everyone's back (including other boosters). This is verified.

* They've lied to the media about whom they've interviewed and to what extent. That is verified too.

Are they capable of doing what Brad Fullington described? Absolutely. And I don't give a **** what everybody thinks of us. I want the truth from the AD and school. If it takes spreading misinformation to force their hand, so be it. Personally, I think this Fullington information is real.

I agree with much of what you are saying. But if the fans are going to retain credibility we would need to have verified evidence or documents to nail the incompetence to the Cross. I have been following this thread since early October and people have been coming on here stating all kinds of things and very little of it played out. It is time to hold people accountable for the facts they present.

If you can take credible evidence to the media you can win the PR case against the incompetence.

Otherwise, you are really baseless in your cause.

Ainge lost any credibility he had left after his bizarre text with Kiffin.

The fans aren't why coaches are turning us down. They are turning down a lame duck AD and having to be handled by Jimmy Haslam. Our Administration is garbage from top to bottom. Why would any coach want to sign on for that?

The fans ARE playing a small role in helping to dissuade coaches and that is a GOOD thing. No hires while Currie is AD. Those are our demands...for now.

If we have to have an interim for 2018, so be it. This is about the long term future of our Athletic Program. Ainge isn't bright enough to figure this our or see the long term goal.

I’ll be in and out all day, got a lot of traveling to do. Sometimes you can’t get anything done over the phone, it’s gotta be face to face.

The goal of the day is delay! The longer we delay, the better the outcome. We’ve been successful thus far and we now have the media (for the most part) on our side and not just locally.

Delay, delay, delay!
