I will take almost all VTTW posters over Malzahn, Herman, and Steele.

With the 22 class being a banner year in-state, we really can’t afford to go the interim route right now, because we’d likely miss out on all those guys. So of course that’s what we’ll do.

Fulmer is also out. Will retire.
For God's sake, let's not promote Kevin Steele to head coach. Not with Gus Malzahn available. (Among others.)

Blackburn is still out there. I still wonder what happened with him.

Let's hire Blackburn as AD, get someone in with proven P5 experience as a head coach, and call it a day.

Glad Fulmer is gone. He sunk the ship twice. But this timing is stupid.
Fulmer should have been told who to hire last month, or Fulmer should have been canned, and the new AD given a year to search (assuming 2021 wouldn't be great).

We saved 12 million minus ~1 million in fees, but if the hire is botched because of timing loss of revenue in 2021 will cost us much more.
We should have negotiated a buyout over a month ago for 6 million and been done with it.

I believed before today and still believe that an attempt for a negotiated end was made Takes two to negotiate

I'm glad I'm numb to it all now. There was a time when my whole week would be ruined.

Meanwhile Bama and Uga get the #1 and 2 classes in recruiting and you expect the next hire to somehow beat them. You can't fix stupid. If you do fix it, it takes awhile....lol.

So my shot at the inbred white trash state bothered you? Figures. Still just a game. Isn't going to improve your lot in life. Or any other fan's for that matter. I'm in a really good place in my life right now. Career is going gangbusters, got a big promotion a little over a year ago and all my projects are doing really well. I'm financially secure for life (assuming I don't fizzle something up), relatsionships are in great shape. What does football even mean? Nothing. You know gladiator combat and chariot races were all the rage back in Roman times. Can you name a single gladiator other than Spartacus, who is only known because he had a "political career"? Name a single chariot racer, I challenge you. Ben Hur doesn't count, he was ficitional. And yet to this day, everyone knows the names Caeser Augustus, Caligula, and Nero, all Roman emperors known for one thing or another. In 100 years, do you think anyone will know who Saban is or give a shizzle? Not likely. Football might not even exist. No sense getting too fired up about it. It's "the sound and fury" or the "vapor that's here one day and gone the next".

Yet you are still bothered by me being truthful about all of the last few coaches. They have sucked yet many still want to let them keep sucking. Hire a proven coach. Why does UT seem to be challenged in this aspect of the game more than other schools. UF hires Mullen. We hire Pruitt. aTm hires Jimbo. We hire Pruitt. Hell, Ole Miss hires Kiffin. We hire Pruitt? Why? Not that I want Kiffin.

You bother me in general, on every level. It's not just me though.
