Glad his getting a new job so quickly mitigates some or all of the buyout money we owed him.

Well, don't let that effect your yearly donation. It won't change mine either.

Congratulations on your new job/thanks for being one of the best - if not the best - football coach at Tennessee the last 5 years.

Good for University of Tennessee too as this offsets the buyout to Coach Gillespie.

 

[Remy]

You have to think he will be a HC somewhere someday. Great recruiter, great coach.

Knew he would have no trouble finding a new job. Congratulations coach G.

It'll be interesting to see how our RBs play/progress this year compared to UNC. I really liked Coach Gillespie. I felt like RB was always a position that was well coached and developed talent while RG was at Tennessee, but I trust Pruitt in brining Weinke aboard. It is his staff.

I am surprised he didn't land at Florida, but I'd rather he be at UNC. Thanks for your good work CRG.

One of the few bright spots over this last dismal decade

I don’t care if we go 0-8 next year in conference play, going to UNC football from Tennessee is never a lateral move.

Worthless directional Carolinas.

Not at the moment.

Not at the moment.

They went 3-9! So you mean it was a descending move?
