"Tennessee vice chancellor and athletic director Dave Hart is stepping down. 2016 will mark his sixth year at UT. His retirement will be effective June 30, 2017.
Hart came into Tennessee’s athletic program at one of its most tumultuous times. In his tenure he financially turned around a previously ailing athletic department and most notably rebuilt the Vols football program. Although, he has also made decisions for which he has been heavily criticized.
Hart will be holding a press conference at noon on Thursday to discuss his decision to step down.
We will have additional coverage of this story as information is made available."

I bet David Blackburn replaces him

This could be very bad news.

This could be very good news!


I'm confused.

That's actually great they're announcing it now. He's definitely leaving UT in better shape than he inherited.

It would be very surprising to me if it is NOT Blackburn.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

2 words. David Blackburn.

Not sure that's much of a compliment.

Bring on Fulmer

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this is sarcasm.

Bring on Fulmer

Would be a terrible hire. I love Coach Fulmer but he wasn't exactly stellar in hiring and firing coaches.

Dave Blackburn is the hire to make. Don't screw this up UT.

Diamond Dave has his flaws.


With that said, overall, he is leaving the program in better shape than what he inherited.


Well done Dave!

Yep he is probably choice #1

It seems to be an easy decision. So I won't be surprised to see us pass on him to hire someone buried in scandals and failure.

I am still on the fence if Hart got lucky hiring CBJ in a pinch or actually knew what he was doing....
