He was in charge of the sports information department. It was assumed he would be the historian of Tennessee athletics once he resigned but he was let go
Did they have a contract in place. I thought it was more of a good ole buddy deal between Hamilton and Ford. When Hart got here he eliminated the position.
Wasn't this guy widely loathed by most, except for a chosen few? Hart has sizeable chunks of fat that are long overdue to be cut....and "Resident Historian" should be second on that list, right behind "Vice Chancellor of Taint Scratching" - which I assume is the job that Hammy has held of late, Emeritus style.
It was a real position created a few years ago. It was offered to a buddy of mine but it didn't pay much so he turned it down.
