For those that don't understand the big deal place yourself in the person's shoes.

You have worked to become an accomplished professional in your specialty in your industry with much upside to your career. You are highly respected in your current job and can stay in it and do well. So should you take a job for substantially more money for a boss who doesn't know who his boss is going to be, when there are other equally interesting job opportunities with employers who have solid top leadership, are financially sound, and are industry leaders as well? Should you uproot your family for that new boss that is fairly or unfairly ridiculed by national analysts and when his supervisor's role is vacant? Not to mention you have observed there appear to be several other new openings on your prospective boss' staff that may make it a bit bumpy with relationships for a time. The new person hired above your boss in the future may not develop a good relationship with your boss. In your industry that would mean that most likely you would have to find another opportunity and move again soon.

Of course that's what the new assistant coaches have to deal with in addition to what Butch has to sell over to try his best to improve the staff so he can improve his existing standing. All while opponents are using the situation to blow him and UT to bits on the recruiting and hiring trails.

While our stupid leaders bicker for months over filling a role that should have been planned out and executed before the 2016 season began. They are 100% at fault for how things are now and get zero credit if Butch pulls out this mess and moves the program forward.

Or we could just follow the "Nothing to see here, move along" instructions from the nothing is ever really bad crowd.

Tennessee finished with 6 commits in the Top 247. Smith was at #5 overall. Jordan Murphy also jumped over 100 spots to #232. The funny thing is Chandler(#77 down 17 spots), Gray (#140 down 7 spots), Reid (#240 down 2 spots), and Ignot (#115 down 15 spots) all dropped spots. It seems that if you commit to Tennessee your ranking is going to take a hit. I swear they stop scouting these guys when they commit to us.

The fact that they dropped Chandler and Ignont shows how stupid ranking sites are. That is a effin joke.

Where's Waldo?

TN BOT/Chancellor/President: I don't know this is way too hard lets pay millions of dollars to a search firm for assistance.

Parker Search Firm 5 minutes later: we found him!

TN BOT/Chancellor/President: wait that was too fast. Let's hire another search firm to make sure this is correct.

Turner Search Firm: we found him but someone else got there first but hey there is this other one one right here.

TN BOT/Chancellor/President: whoa whoa this is too much too handle how quickly you guys have found a solution to our Waldo problem. Let's firm a different committee to look for another search firm

You're right, but it would appear Bama had an executable executive resource plan in place and they were able act on that plan when the time arose.

Well run organizations have executive development and transitions plans in place, typically within a year of hiring. UT should have had a plan for replacing Cheek and it should not have been a inhibitor for selecting an AD.

I think this is the point some are making.

Wasn't Blackburn at UTC because he was an AD in waiting? This process should have been quick and easy. But for some reason UTK just can't do quick and easy.

Who the F is Dan Wolken? Nobody even knows who that dude is! Just because its on the ticker, in the news or on the internet doesn't mean the rest of the country cares!

He is a national CFB writer for USA Today. My point was that there are some national people paying attention. And you forgot, just because it's on a message board...

The situation is embarrassing because WE know it. I'm embarrassed for our program.

It doesn't have to be front page news on every paper in the country for it to be embarrassing.

Our admin doesn't know what it is doing and it is blatantly obvious.

To each their own, but I'm not going to spend time worrying about something that will be taken care of. An AD will be hired, and we'll see if this person does well or not.

Just like the coaching hires after Fulmer were nothing to worry about and "that will be taken care of". Right
