I know you are struggling with your decision. I just want you to know I wish you well wherever you go, but my heart will break for you if you announce ESPN. We love you in Tennessee. You would be our hero....
But I watch you and I think you do what it is you do as good as it's ever been done.....
We love Dave Hart and the brass he has brought to this battle....
But most of us will love you and want well for you. That's just the kind of people that live here in Tennessee. I'm sure your wife's family knows something about that.....
I hope I see you on campus sometime so I can shake the hand of a man that is getting set to coach big time SEC ball. You got it in you, bro, you just have to take advantage of all your opportunities. Work your hardest whatever it is you are doing. At Tennessee You will lead the team your first year and there is a real possibility of winning. The longer you do it at a high level, the better your chances are for the millions that come with coaching at the next level. We love you Jon.
