Could new penalties and extended probation hurt out coaching search?

The NCAA waited on purpose.

They are tired of people getting sanctioned and then still kicking azz on the field. Examples are USC and Ohio State. Both got sanctioned but USC is still doing well, even though Lame keeps getting caught cheating, and OSU is undefeated. They're putting this out there now hoping is hurts our ability to get a new coach. They want us down for a long time so they can use us as an example to show that when they sanction someone, it hurts the program.

The NCAA is worthless. A bunch of hypocrites. Reminds me of cheerleaders in high school disciplining other cheerleaders. Ridiculous.

im not going to believe ANYTHING about Chucky coaching UT next season UNTIL I see it on the ESPN ticker or in a press conference live...im not getting my hopes up cause we ALL KNOW if he did coach here it would be a few years and then he would leave for the NFL again and we would be f***ed yet again!!!

If he wanted to go to the NFL then he would go directly to an NFL job, not stop by the Vols first and then leave. That would make zero sense.

If anything, it may limit the coaches we are willing to consider. Anyone who is not perfectly squeaky clean need not apply. With the new guidelines, a HC is responsible for his entire staff's actions and the university responsible for the HC. Being on probation makes it likely for us to get hit with "double secret probation" or worse if the HC does anything wrong.

This this and more of this.

The timing of this announcement by the NCAA is just too inconvenient for UT not to be something "personal" against UT.

At the end of a miserable season which has ended up in the Vols looking for a new coach heading into the home stretch of recruiting?

The conferences need to start pulling out of the NCAA and let this antiquated, bloated bureaucracy with it's byzantine rules and arbitrary enforcement of those rules die.

They can probably do a much better job of enforcing rules for their own schools than the NCAA can anyway.

I imagine that the investigation and punishment had been discussed with possible coaching candidates. This didn't catch the AD off guard one bit. It had to be expected. Does the university have the right to appeal the punishment?

“We were disappointed with the initial penalties and appealed on two occasions, in writing and at the hearing in Florida,” UT chancellor Jimmy Cheek said in a statement. “Although we disagree with the additional penalties, we accept the decision of the Committee. I am proud of the stronger compliance structure we have instituted at the University of Tennessee.”

Doesn't sound like they will be appealing anything.

It certainly does not but I say just take the slap and move on since there did not seem to be anything that could really hurt the recruiting firm of Gruden Martin and Morris
