Dave Hart has 10 months remaining on his contract.

Rewarding Mediocrity should be the title of the next UT DVD documentary

 

Leveraging Mediocrity

 

Leveraging Thighs

 

1. There is a about to be an insane coaching market.

2. His agent is going to float that he is a potential hire at a school, maybe 2.

3. Everyone will freak out, look at an 8-4 record, forget the first month of the season, and give him a raise to stay here.

3a. This is Hart giving another middle finger to everyone for "his guy" being here.

 

No, I understand the idiotic reasons that our moronic fan base would buy. I don't understand how UT became this. No other traditional football power has a pathetic enough leadership to allow it.

 

The the article I linked a while back about what is important to fans.

Sure, winning is "Important", but just as integrated in the "true fan" culture is winning recruiting battles and "getting back to where we used to be". Throw in "stability" (we'd rather be stable at the bottom of the ocean than being tossed and turned on the waves), and viola.

 

I wish o was athletic director. He would come in and say "Alan, I am up for the State University job and I wanted to know..."

Me: "Congratulations! Enjoy your knew job you have earned it here let me help you pack your stuff and please keep in touch and your cab is here so good luck and perhaps we will meet in the field good day and don't call us well call you.". /slam car door

 

I've resigned myself to the fact that we don't dump him. But this would be borderline sabotage.

 

His agent better not consider threatening us with someone else's buyout. I'd dare them.

 

Tennessee sports are going to be garbage ufor the next 5 years, at least

 

He get's a raise/extension and it's going to be even harder to fire him. Do we not think anything through? Are the people in power just sold on the guy?

 

Bunch of pencil ***** in power.

 

Status quo is easy as long as the fans have bought it. It's why they work so hard to keep the media as shills.

 

Communists imo

 

Wait and see.

 

Again, a raise or extension just tells me that Tennessee is not committed to winning. You can't give him that knowing that it makes it harder to fire him.

 

Rumor has it that his agent has already inquired about a bump, was scoffed at and told to tell his client to beat a team that matters, first.

Others can fill in the details, if I've missed something.

 

If true that shows some balls by someone in charge. I like it, but I hope USC or Mizzou don't count as teams that matter.

 

When they hired Dooley (and then Lyle) and Clownzo, that told me all I needed to know about their commitment to winning.

 

Please tell me this is true.
