Who are you to judge the 'rightness' of anyone's heart. I thought that was God's domain, not man's...It doesn’t surprise me that this is the attitude you take towards the post. It’s the same kind of heart and attitude that drives you to think that the coaches made the right decision. If your heart was right then he would feel differently. I can’t fix or change your heart, unfortunately.
Those 2 know what it means to be a Tennessee Volunteer. The vast majority of our citizens have had to make financial sacrifices during these times. Considering the small cut they were looking at, I'm sorry You have lost a TON of respect. Maybe from now on they should be paid for performance. If that were the case everyone of them would be making 10 cents on the dollar.I can't say that I blame the other coaches for not taking a cut since UT doesn't mean anything to them other than a paycheck but it certainly isn't a good look. For Martin and Graham, it is personal. I certainly would remember the gesture when a coaching change happens.
However it is a bad look
Rick Barnes, Kellie Harper take paycuts for Tennessee athletics budget
Vols basketball coach Rick Barnes and Lady Vols coach Kellie Harper already signed amendments accepting a pay cut, Satkowiak told Knox News. The cut will be taken from each's total compensation.
Vols baseball coach Tony Vitello told Knox News he plans to accept a pay reduction.
Every Tennessee head coach other than Pruitt signed a contract amendment agreeing to that tiered salary reduction through June 30. Those coaches also agreed to waive any incentive compensation they would have been eligible for through June 30, except for incentives for winning an SEC championship or a national championship. Those championship bonuses remain in play.
If someone paid you more than you deserved and you knew you would soon be out of a job, would you take a pay cut?It isn’t that they refused to take a small cut in pay that’s concerning. It’s that we hired this many coaches that have absolutely sucked at their jobs yet refused to accept a cut from their exorbitant pay.
Lmao as an executive who works at a not-for-profit business that brings in $30-80 million a year, I fully understand that. And it’s funny that even though we were affected by COVID more than any other industry out there, we never required our team members to cut their salaries or benefits. And if you believe that the UT AD which is privately funded is in need of those pennies from the coaches you are a pretty gullible personYou clearly don’t have any idea how this world works do you? A business provides for more than one family. I took a pay cut so that my business could have enough funds to 1.stay open and 2. Keep everybody employed.

And if its voluntary, there is nothing wrong with them refusing to do so. Their families are more important than the UTADFor, LITERALLY, the 8th time.....IT WAS A VOLUNTARY REQUEST!!! NOT MANDATORY. And UT will be down 40-50% in 2020. I Highly doubt that if you lost that percentage at a nonprofit you would not retain all staff or everyone’s current rate of pay. If you are, then your operating costs are phenomenal.
You directed your comment to another poster here on VolNation, not the coaches. As far as the coahes go, who are you to judge any of them by the decision they made. You know nothing of the intent of their heart or why they made it. You just sit here and cast anonymous judgement on someone you know NOTHING about.. Does your sorry attempt at public shaming make you feel better about your relationship with Christ?Judge a tree by its fruit...... this team’s coaches fruit is rotten. Anyone can see that.

Like the other guy said, self righteous much...
Dude you have NO F’ing idea what you are talking about.You just really don’t get it. It’s not public shaming it’s not judging. They made a black-and-white wrong decision that was selfish. All of you on here trying to rationalize and defend selfishness then you just don’t understand what’s going on here.
There you go again, assuming you know their motivation by calling the decision "selfish". Could it be selfishness? Yes, it could be, but you don't know that for sure. You evidently don't get that you're making a JUDGEMENT based on your views and no real knowledge of their individual situations and that is WRONG.You just really don’t get it. It’s not public shaming it’s not judging. They made a black-and-white wrong decision that was selfish.
