Rank These Saboteurs According To Their Level Of Blame In Tennessee HC Search

Beverly Davenport?
- Chancellor who is an outsider and been on the job less than a year. Can she provide adequate leadership? Is she a helpless bystander to the good ole boys club?

John Currie?
- AD who comes across as an aimless idiot but maybe he’s ok and been knifed?

Bill Haslam?
- Billionaire Governor, oil man

Jim Haslam?
- Billionaire booster, Cleveland Browns owner, oil man, by all accounts a major role player.

Phil Fulmer?
- Former HC and program hanger on with influence who wants to have a role and say.

Clay Travis?
- Media whore who throws red meat to fan base and works them up to a lathered frenzy.

Peyton Manning?
- Pizza parlor owner and wannabe football executive, beloved former qb, by all accounts a player behind scenes. Rational influence or meddling green fool playing around over his head with things he has no experience with?

Fan base?
- Foolishly convinced themselves yet again that they were getting Gruden or Petersen as a fallback plan then melted when X was leaked as the guy. Long suffering followers that remember the good days, saw the new hire as a chance to be legit again, and cannot accept reality that they are no longer a top tier choice program.

Am I missing anyone?

My guess is a lack of leadership by Davenport and Currie is the crux of the problem, complicated and extenuated by powerful meddling boosters (Haslam, others) engaged in a power struggle with no real leader providing a guiding role, topped off by an emotional, borderline hysterical fan base whose worst predispositions were encouraged by an opportunistic gaggle of media whores (led by Travis and a couple local UT sports guys).
