Why should fans care about them blowing the bank, if that equates to wins and championships? I don't give a flying FUDGE about UT's budget.

Extremely rational of you! Let's say we brought in JG and he was a huge failure...that kills our program completely. We have no idea what he would bring to the college game but judging by his request (if you believe Hargis's account) the numbers would have been that of a pro staff...

The James Franklin madness is starting to spread. God, please no. I will never watch another UT game if this happens.

I hear this guy named Derek Dooley is available for hire. I think he would be cheap if money is the problem

I want to remind everyone of something. Dave Hart (contrary to popular believe now) is not stupid. UT was losing close to $3M per game at the end of the season. Speculation, but I'd say close to $10M on the year (Troy, Mizzou, Kentuckyx10, merch). This is not a problem that's going to go away without winning games. Money will not be an object, as Hargis said. You hire Gruden at $5.5M + $4.5M for staff, win games, FULL stadium, donations, merch, easily make money back. Until we start winning games and having 9 win seasons we'll be in huge trouble financially. How many years would it take a Golden/Fedora vs a Gruden?

Exactly, yet that appears to be the path they are going in.

i just got a call from my brother who is a jet mechanic at the louisville, ky airport. He just did a routine safety check on a g-5 private jet that arrived from knoxville, picked up charlie strong and flew out 10 minutes ago.

This is all maddening, its like trying to get my kids in the same room to find out who broke the vase, nothing but fingerpointing and a broken vase.

If what Hargis says is truth, and i have known him my whole life and follow him every day in the TFP and he is one of the best, so i have no reason to think he is being dishonest, but if Hart has screwed this up, IMO, he deserves to be shown the door. Many of you laughed and cussed at the mention of making Phillip Fulmer our AD...lemme say this, we would never have had to question the man's motives. In my book, that goes a long way. Hart was brought in to get us back on top, to this point he has failed and possibly has taken the best opportunity that we have had in a very long time and screwed it up. Maybe its all smoke and mirrors, who knows, but it certainly appears that way right now.

I'd rather keep Dooley than to have anything associated with Vandy. The guy is a tool and not what TN needs.
