Can't have an active losing streak to every other SEC team and still keep your job
 
8 million dollar buyout and a couple of life championships should soften his fall.
 
So you fired Butch Jones with a heavy buyout. Florida is also looking for a new coach and has a 2 week head start. If you're the Tennessee AD, where do you go?
 
How does anyone know that Gruden is capable at this point of coaching football? I realize he has name recognition for older fans, but why would a young kid out of high school care what some old coach did a decade ago? Can Gruden even recruit? The whole Gruden fantasy is nothing more than a hope and prayer that he can coach.

Tennessee is committed to almost $400 million in improvements to the stadium and other facilities. I have been attending Tennessee games for decades now. The stadium was in horrible shape a decade or so ago. Seated a lot of folks, but there was rusty rails around the top that looked to have not been painted for decades. Bathrooms were, and mostly still are, horrendous, on par with the old lower east dungeon bathrooms. Tennessee, and the rest of the SEC, let Alabama put in all new shiny stuff and renovate and expand their stadium to a show place while Neyland looked like it belonged in a trailer park. Most of the most recent renovations are just spit polishing. Neyland needs a top to bottom going over.
If Tennessee wants to compete with Alabama ever again, they need to shit or get off the pot.

Clemson is pulling an Alabama on us right now. I fear we will fall further behind. Of course, we don't have the revenue stream Clemson has. Tennessee has no excuse for falling behind. They have just had dumbass hicks running the show up there. The days of fat Phil are over. Modern college football is a $$$ game now.

That said. A trip to Knoxville to a Tennessee game is quite fun. I suggest the chairbacks in the upper north endzone. If I were renovating Tennessee, I'd put chairbacks in the entire stadium except for student and visitor sections. Cut capacity to 95,000 or so.

Dude, you are literally the only person on earth that thinks sitting in the end zone is the best place to watch a football game.

Just. Stop.

Nope, there are a whole bunch of us sitting under the walkway in the UN that wouldn't change places with any of you. Best seats in the house and I have sat in every section of the stadium other than the south Wardlaw terrace. The UW is the worst. The LE is second worst. The UN and UE are best. I moved from the LE to the UN and don't regret it one bit. I'm glad the rest of you assholes don't want to sit up there anyway with us poors. We'd hate to disturb your nappy pie time anyway

You cray cray.

Upper endzone seats give a great view, especially of our offense. Field level, not so much.

Agreed. Watching the play form from the endzone is awesome. All the blocking lanes are clear. The lady that has tix next to me her father had club seats in the LE. He dropped those to sit in the UN because the view is better. The bathrooms are much nicer. There is more walk room up there since everything was built to modern standards. Plus, you can see the band real well playing on the stairs before they head into the stadium. Great seats.

I am embarrassed we lost to that moron. We need to use that game as motivation for the final games of the season.

Reminds me of the 2015 VT game, Beamer's last year. They were bad but we found a way to lose. We should have a four-game winning streak against them
