And that’s why people talk crap on Vols fans. You guys were never truly interested in Schiano’s connection to the Sandusky scandal, you just needed an excuse to crucify a guy who wasn’t Jon Gruden.

Btw, while you’re here, run down for me why everyone thought Gruden was the guy. (I don’t follow nfl enough to truly understand it.)

Ok, The Gruden thing is insanity. Everyone DIDN'T think Gruden was actually the guy it was a select delusional few that actually did. The reason it blew up in the media is because nobody definitively said otherwise on either side to shoot down the rumors. Gruden never openly said he wasn't coming to TN, his latest quote was "never say never". John Currie or someone else in UT's administration could have shot down those rumors before they exploded but chose not to. Ultimately that decision probably hurt him. Here is the real kicker though, this isn't the first time the Grumor nonsense has occurred. The whole Gruden thing played out for the first time back in 2012 during the coaching search that would ultimately hire Butch Jones. Naturally everyone that was gullible and hopeful that Gruden would take the job was heartbroken and devastated when it didn't pan out. You'd think people would have learned from the first time around but apparently not so round two was birthed and it drew even more interest.

Maybe you can get that tumor growing out of Peyton's forehead to come coach for you.

Lol! That's another small faction of misinformed fans among Volnation, Peyton Manning's forehead becoming the head coach at TN or Peyton Manning himself. The man is a legend but he has no interest in becoming the head coach at TN. Why risk possibly tainting your legacy by becoming the head coach of TN where it "might" work out? Realistically if he wanted to coach he'd could probably succeed as a decent OC. He'd obviously be an excellent QB coach as well(of which he's technically already been with the QB camps that he runs). Again though, he's not interested.

The best part of all of this is the victors then turning the sword on themselves.

The fact that so many Vol fans believe that UT is some kind of elite football program is pretty comical.   UT hasn't done crap in 20 years.

Who wants to go work at a school that literally eats their own at the drop of a hat?  Nobody beyond mediocrity, that's who.

Plus, the whole coaching search was so John Currie, I can just see that little weirdo telling himself he had this over and and over.

TN is actually is an elite football program, it just hasn't appeared that way since 2007.

You beat us but at 35-21 "destruction" is quite an overstatement.

Tennessee was 16th in the country in 2007, that's not elite.

Not Tennessee

Come on man, it's been TWENTY years since Tenn won a conference championship, TWO DECADES

Tennessee is a good football program, not an Elite football program.  Alabama is an ELITE football program, Ohio State is an ELITE football program.

Complete lack of leadership and AD's that had no idea what they were doing. Haslams running the show on top of that. No chance to be great with no commitment to winning.

We will be elite again soon. :cheers:

I changed my mind, you guys are nothing like Vanderbilt people.... you're twins with Nebraska fans. That feels like a better fit.

The game wasn't nearly as close as the score...even Fulmer called it a "good old fashioned ass whoopin'"   and he was correct.

Btw, let the record show that I absolutely respect the zeal and nastiness of Vols fans to not settle for a guy that was not their standard. If only we had mustered that kind of enthusiasm when Currie introduced oscar rough ridin' Weber, we wouldn’t be in this pickle.

you can bet your ass that if oscar was even in the same room as JoePa I would have absolutely accused him of covering up pedophilia in order for him to not coach at KSU.

again, trash them all you want but there are 14 sec teams and I'd put them no worse than 8th/9th.
