Hey, if the man fixes things... worth every penny!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

White will be the highest paid AD in the SEC.

Please hire a great coach and not humiliate the University even further.

I mean how can they justify making him the highest paid AD in the league? Sheesh

 

[volfaninky]

Now let’s go pay for the coach we want and don’t settle

 

[DiderotsGhost]

It's going to take a lot of McDonald's bags to pay White's salary, but totally worth it!

Just going out on a limb here but maybe because we’re in a situation at this time unlike any other major school?

Exactly

What do you mean justify? He’s done a great job at UCF. I also assume to get a guy of his quality to come into the difficult position of being AD at Tennessee you’d have to offer him a lot. This isn’t an easy job. We gave him the money to help us fix this mess. No justifying needed.

 

[Boca Vol]

Great!! UT can't afford to pay the football coach a ton of money because they paid the AD a ton of money!

 

[BeecherVol]

Spending $ has not really been the problem. Its who and how it was spent

In this case it appears we have landed a guy that's worth the check for once.

1 more to go.

Seeing as how bargain hires have helped us so so much I

 

[Godfatha]

If this guy is the next Jeremy Foley, he will be worth it.

It was my understanding the money was actually being moved through the kids' smart phones and the online apps that allow you to send money via email to their checking accounts and it is nearly instantaneous. Initial weekly transfer limits are $299.99, then it goes to $4,999.99 per week once the payment network "recognizes" the users.

Very little paper trail, very little ways to track it unless you can get to one of the payors phones and the student privacy laws in that arena are pretty stout.

When they hand him his check, he should immediately tell them to hand him the next one out of the book... “but leave it blank, im gonna go get us a coach!”

 

[TNHopeful505]

WE AIN'T PLAYING AROUND! Heck yes!

 

[Volfan1000]

It is nice to see the check book being opened for people like Barnes and White.

 

[VolBricks]

1.8 Million with a 5% raise each year. Who gets a 5% raise each year? Mine raise is lucky to be 2%

He knows who he’s gonna hire. He knows who’s coming in. That’s why you spend the money to begin with.

He was making $1.2M at UCF.....

What was his prior salary?

 

[Skippy95]

You drop the dump truck of cash for a guy that has pull. Most fundraising done at a university when he was at UCF. It’s time. There will still need to be the process. But UT is about to be white hot again. Not like I haven’t witnessed in my lifetime.

 

[GrizzlyVol]

Worth every penny

 

[thistime]

If you want to get quality and proven results you have to pay for it. Unlike what we have done in the past which is to pay more for less and hope for the best.

 

[BeardedVol]

White’s contract with the Vols will be worth $1.8 million per year, with a possibility of a $300,000 raise each year based on athletic and academic performances
