It has been two days and all is quiet. Dave Hart even went to the Knoxville Zoo today.
What does that mean? Is it just a pressure release? Is it to throw the Knoxville media off? Is he thinking about things?
My thoughts are this .
Dave Hart has someone working with him doing some footwork and legalese. Hart checked in on a Tim Miles/McDermott package deal (Doug McDermott's father). Miles wants to stay in the midwest. That does not mean that he was offered the job.
My feelings are that Hart knows who he wants and has some legal types and accounting types working up some numbers and contract initiatives. I don;t believe he would be waiting around to sign a tier three guy like Tyndall. I think that Hart os going after a big fish. He has an opportunity to really create a real legacy at Tennessee if he can land both a football coach who can turn things around and a top basketball coach, who can build a championship basketball team. I don;t think he is waiting on a Kmart blue light special coach. he could have had one of them already. He is swinging for the fences right now and that takes time.
I would mot be surprised of he landed a tier 1 coach and in a worst case scenario, he lands a tier 2 coach.
