Truth: I've been thinking so much the past week. Trying to move forward with life in a better fashion than before.

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

This time of year makes me think of how I miss someone who I never truly had. I will always care about her even though she’ll never even know. Wish I could have won her heart instead of breaking my own.

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

Nickelodeon needs to release complete sets of all their classic cartoons like Rugrats, Doug, etc. that would be awesome.

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

It is unacceptable that we haven’t won the SEC since 98 or East since 07. I don’t want to be a Champion of Life. I want to be a friggin SEC Champion. I’m tired of settling.

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

I’m in wait and see on Pruitt and more cynical than optimistic I’m not gonna lie, but I’m glad he’s bringing Fair home and keeping Gillespie. I’ll always support the players no matter the Head Coach.

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

So I guess Saban will be interviewing Schiano to be his DC right? Since he’s the best D Coordinator in America.

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

@GiveHim61016 @TreyW_Radio Hasn’t said for certain. I know Gillespie RB, Helton QB, Fair DB and Friend OL. I’m not certain who OC will be

@GiveHim61016 @TreyW_Radio Will Friend. OC/OL Coach at Colorado State

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

Not that Fulmer or anybody else at UT honestly cares what we think, but Pruitt has a lot to prove to me. I’m angry we went cheap yet again but I’ll give the guy a chance just like I have in the past. I’m very unhappy with this hire but I don’t matter to UT. I know that.

[Houston Kress @VolRumorMill]

On the surface, the recent names are total and complete garbage. Anyone telling you otherwise is spinning or serving an agenda.

Is it possible Tennessee gets lucky with a Steele, Tucker, or Pruitt? Sure.

But these are not inspiring names, these are desperation names.

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

@ChancellorDav. Please accept a heartfelt “Thank you” for your decision today. As a proud member of the Vol Nation family we are all grateful that you have made the decision to move forward with a Tennessee man and lead us back to where we belong. #ThankYou

Now several folks, including someone at Washington St., tell me Currie interviewed Mike Leach & possibly 1-2 other candidates today in the Los Angeles area.

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

But hey, on the bright side I finally got to try some Benton’s Bacon. Mmmmmmm....

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

Currie going silent worries me greatly. Usually means someone is scheming something. Not good potentially

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Just trust me, read this on the Tennessee coaching search and what it means going forward. There's a big story here that most are missing so far: https://t.co/lQqOU4L5JL

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

@MartySmithESPN We wish.

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

I’d be fine with Sumlin. He’s a good coach, would be a very good hire for us. Definitely better than every other coach we’ve talked to except Gundy or Brohm.

[Erik Southerland @UTVolFan29]

Anyone else find it telling that the AD continues to avoid even talking to the candidates Vol Nation backs?

[V-O-L-S 🏈 🧡🐝 @SEC_CRNA]

Update!
They’re directing calls to the president or chancellor.
I left complaints w AD dept, Pres, Chancellor.
Please call & do the same! https://t.co/VT0fpflzsD
