Hyams source is the Haslam family, I know that as fact. Because when Trey Wallace was screaming the Haslam family loaned UT it's plane to get Gruden, Hyams quickly debunked that and like you said everyone called him a know nothing clown.
Not a big Hyams fan. However, he makes the call on events after he has confirmed them as most people know. He's no Trey Wallace. With Phil in the chair and the Haslam's active with Jabran, he has a bit of access again.
As an example, Brohm was coming until he blew it. Hyams would never go to ESPN with it if he was not. If releasing it too soon caused the back out like has been reported, I'm really glad Brohm did not come. I want a competent HC that wants to be here - period. No matter what excuse, no matter the press, no matter perceived hurt feelings - whatever. Coaches are paid a fortune that any of us would be willing to accept even with the snark and trashing they receive from the public at times. You need to have a burning desire to be a Vol HC, not just a HC somewhere in a P5 or the SEC. Orange blooded fans know the difference. Hasn't been one since Johnny and Phil.
