All of this “quiet” silence over Beliema is a bit concerning to say the least

Some have our Battered Vol Syndrome, based on Schiano events. They will do what they told *no one else* they'd do. And overall, the 180 of what he *professed* he'd do.
You're among friends.
I think a lot of people are now afraid of Twitter links, as well.

Here is my twitter info:

@lasirenasmiles

I really only have Twitter because of following Vol football. It was my outlet when I lived in the Keys far from Vol nation. It was my lifeline to keeping me sane and connected, if you will.

I don’t have a ton of followers because that wasn’t what I used it for....but I’m working my bum off tweeting and retweeting. Please feel free to follow me and I will follow you back. Just looking for a way for our base to cover more ground.

Interesting research. He is not the top of my list, but he is certainly better than the jokers that have been offered the last 2 days.
I am still hopeful we can see a pause with a change in leadership before anything happens, but I am not optimistic.

I'm not saying his success was built by Johnny Football, but....

Bev, John and Joe clearly aren't any good at business or math. They are unwilling to spend 10 million per year to get what we want and it's going to cost them much more than that in lost revenue starting the minute they hire their cheap coach.

As much as I want Gruden here the smokescreen theory is absolutely ludicrous.

I’m not so sure. Serious questions!
Why does Currie still have a job? Davenport supposedly refused to sign off on one of his “candidates”.
How can an AD at a major university not even address the public on the Schiano situation?

Why would Manning put his name toward Schiano?
How many posted he hated him?
Who’s one person people think we’d never turn on?
Why have they not interviewed a single good candidate that would actually come here?

Now, the word has got out that we haven’t interviewed a minority. Whose name immediately pops up? Another guy that would in no way take this job.

Is all this just coincidence? Time will tell. We still have only heard from Currie when Butch was fired, no a peep since. Remember, he said don’t believe anything you hear unless it’s from him.

If Haslam is a part of the ruse and Currie too, then, lord, what a gamble publicly when it could have just been easier to hire Gruden.....

Yeah, I agree. That narrative is a little too Machiavellian for me.

I could be convinced that Manning was a double agent. Beaver did say Manning would take one for the team.

I think Currie was given the chance to be the hero and he missed his opportunity.

Just looking to help anyone in need.

If your spouse or significant other is not happy about time spent here. Just let them know it's like real life Game of Thrones, it worked for me.

I'm with you on everything except Schiano being a smokescreen. Currie offering Schiano or even floating his name as a cover for Gruden is downright dumb.

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending

That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real source

And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate The Gruden

And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone's a VOL fan.

Pink Floyd- "Vols", from the album 'Fanimals'

Shine On, You Crazy Grumors

we have officially entered into the TWILIGHT ZONE!!!!!!!!!!!
I am convinced no one in the AD has the intelligence of a sloth...(may be giving them to much credit there )
how can a University with the tradition that the VOLS have parade around such 3rd rate coaches while offering them that kind of money....
makes me sick to see this shatshow....
