They have absolutely lost their minds.
We have their attention now.
NOW is when we should unite even more, get much better organised, get emails and social media on fire and have thousands at Neyland with signs showing the Haslams and their group and the Admin that we will NOT stop until serious changes are made.
Some of our demands...
1...STOP the coaching hire until the following conditions are met.
2...Fire Currie NOW!
3...Fire Davenport NOW.
4...Hire Blackburn NOW and let ONLY him head our serious coaching search because a 50% or 60% WIN percentage is NOT even close to good enough for OUR Tennessee Vols..
5...Davenport replacement MUST be someone that understands our Traditions and that we demand good coaches for ALL sports at UT.
6...Turn the UT legal eagles loose if that's what it takes but get the Haslams and their ruling class OUT of OUR AD once and for all.
They can be allowed to write a check and include a letter of ideas and suggestions but that is ALL they will be allowed to do.
7...New rules for big money boosters...The Tennessee AD is owned by the people of Tennessee, NOT wealthy bigshots that want to use OUR AD for their personal politics and needs for more power.
We'll be happy to have a Board for top money boosters to make their suggestions but ONLY if those ideas and suggestions ARE totally in the best interest of UT sports and the students that play those sports.
Right now we have the attention of the media and all serious sports fans nationwide so NOW may be the last time that we, the real fans of all Tennessee sports, might have the opportunity to clean house, make serious positive changes for OUR University and AD and get things right according to what we believe things need to become.
VFL...GBO!!!
And to think, all of this is essentially because of a population boom two states to the south, and the type of offense the vols were running when a local football star was looking for a college back in the 60s. Amazing when you think of the trickle down effect nearly 60 years later.
