Horrible contract. Hamilton was an idiot. How does it protect the school? If he loses out this year and were to lose all his games next year we would still owe him 5 mil. That doesn't sound like any kind of protection to me.

He is no more a idiot than a certain poster is.

Sounds like great protection for Dooley. Should have included one of those 5 dollar Lane Kiffin buyouts.

Go ahead and bite the bullet and pay him to get out of here! We only save 1 million for having to do it next year. We cant let the football and basketball team rott at the same time!

Good solution. That way we can hear everyone *****ing when the next coach sucks because of the horrible situation that was left. Spot on I say.

on here one damn dime. That money comes from donors and the VASF and we got the money to rid ourselves of this excuse making clown. Quit talking about we can't afford it when you have no clue what you are saying.

Lol, so the donors have endless pockets? You think the big donors are going to want to pay 3 coaches at the same time?

Dooley will be here atleast 2 more years, so all this whining and b*tching is all for not. No matter how much everyone complains, he is going to be here so just calm down.

Our D-line has played pretty good, considering that was our weak point coming into the season. Worley has gotten better. Bray would have been killing teams. Arnett/Dallas have gotten better. Linebackers have gotten better. Try and keep up.

Oh come on. There's always a chance some school with a functioning football program and a Mike Hamilton-like AD could fire their coach and hire Dooley.

All we need is Mike Hamilton... working somewhere else.

Dooley has to pay the university $4 million if he breaks his contract before February 15, 2012. Decreasing to $3 million to $1 million to 750,000 to 500,000 over the final four years.

Tennessee wanted stability. Dooley wanted assurance.

He is being given a fair shot folks. He ain't getting fired and he ain't leaving. So lean back and take a deep breath.

Due to us owing several other coaches at this time, I don't see Hart firing Dooley anytime soon. He could get the blessing of some prominent alumni and fire him, but
that is not likely, unless things go further down hill.
I doudt that (Mike Shula) Dooley is Hart's answer. I am sure that Hart will take the " wait and see" approach
at this point. I don't see Dooley as being Hart's choice, had Hart been here in 2009.

Worse case scenerio: Dooley does exactly what Mike Shula did at "O Bama" and takes care of the program until a better coach can be convinced to take the job.
The new coach will be able to coach better and win with the recruits that Dooley brought to U.T. Reference "O Bama" 2006.

Best case scenerio: Dooley coaches these players up and continues to recruit well. Our schedule becomes favorable and we begin to win, built confidence and get back to actually winning games.

Either way, we are in pretty good shape!!!!

Exactly. This contract made sense on both sides. You can't divorce a contract from the context in which it was negotiated.

UT needed a coach. Kiffin bolted two weeks before NSD with very little contractual repercussion. UT wanted a higher buyout so they wouldn't get burned again, and Dooley used that as leverage to get more guaranteed money. In addition, Dooley knew he was walking into a terrible situation not just for the present, but for the next several years.

In 2010, UTK sold out 3 games. They hired IMG to help them market tickets this year. I've heard on air commercials for single game tickets almost weekly in the Nashville radio market this year. Not sure what the sellout tally will be for 2011. 10,000 unsold tickets per game is about $3.5million per year at the gate assuming 3 home OOC games per season. This does not take into account unrented parking spaces, concessions, a drop in sales of licensed merch at the campus bookstore, etc. Easily over $4million in one year. And then you have to factor in the effect on the Knox economy, which gets back to the AD via the trustees who are political appointees. If you want to keep Dooley indefinitely regardless of the record then you'd better be making the appropriate contribution to VASF and buying season tickets.

Yet another gem by Mike Hamilton.

You should do some research and check out the contracts of other head coaches at BCS schools. When you do, you'll see some similarity in most of them. Hopefully others will do the same so we don't see these extremely ignorant posts. At least not as regularly as now.

UT has a lot to pay for over the next few years. Makes this buyout look like a drop in the bucket. Hopefully, for all parties involved, we don't have to go down that road.

Fire Dooley now, he's part of the 1%. We need a 99% person as head coach and pay him $8.35/hour.
