One constant.

[Doc_Vol]

There has been one constant since 2008 and the name is Haslam, one family is responsible for our down fall. As long as they are allowed to call the shots we are doomed.

Don’t the Haslams also control the Browns?

 

[VolBricks]

Another name that has been around since the late 90's is Manning. Maybe the boosters are not the issue.

 

[madbamahater]

So are you suggesting that the Haslam's hired Josh Heupel? I don't think so. They're probably pissed

I do not agree. It has been 3 inept UT presidents, especially the last one prior to Randy Boyd and the previous incompetent UT Chancellor. Both were originally from the University of Florida. UT has very good leadership now in UT graduate President Randy Boyd and Chancellor Plowman. We also had two losing Athletic Directors as well. One of the ADs was fired.

By all accounts, the new AD had full control on this process. I find it hard to believe any booster had any influence considering he's only been here a week or so. Correct me if I'm wrong, but White has no prior history with UT and, therefore, hasn't had enough time to be in anyone's pocket.

Not true. Anderson/Thornton fingerprints are all over the Fulmer/Pruitt $hitshow

Oh I thought this was a baseball/ Field of Dreams discussion thread carry on with whining

The browns are good now and they hired a good young up and comer head coach (Stefanski).

Yeah, I mean it’s not like anyone else involved in the coaching search had any connections to Heupel.

Right - My point being, the Haslam influence doesn’t automatically spell doom and gloom.

Yea they have actually made great moves lately

Another constant... bad coaching hires.

So the Haslam’s “hired” the coach from the university we just got our brand new AD from?

Finally, after Jimmy got his hands out of the pie.
