| What he's saying is that our direct rivals hire top-notch coaches...we in turn hire coaches who have won 1 NIT game. Should work out well for us. Maybe Cuonzo can bring the "classy in defeat" attitude with him. Great, we've now turned in to Vandy. | |

| Mods, cancel this thread. When I did a little research and found out Tennessee was paying $1.3 million to a ladies basketball coach plus $6 million to an ex coach who had two losing seasons in his final four years........I thought the more appropriate title would be "University of Tennessee: the Neiman Marcus of college sports"!  | |

| Good analogy. Just remember guys, when we're getting our collective butts kicked by both Saban on the field and Calamari on the hardwood we'll always have integrity and the AD's office will still have your money. It's a win win for them. | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | It's real old when all you've heard in Hamilton's defense is how he turns a profit. | |

| Yeah I guess they can use all that extra money to build a bigger trophy room since it's filling up so fast the last 10 years!

We don't need CEOs with platinum parachutes, we need winners with platinum handcuffs.
