You do know Chip Kelly is not a coach at a power 5 school right now..... right?


For anyone else confused.... current sitting head coaches at power 5 school's don't leave their current jobs for another power 5 school anymore.... now with tv deals and revenue sharing all University's have similar $$$

So if your at a power 5 school and power 5 school _____ comes calling your agent goes to your current school and tells them and your current power 5 school gives you a raise. This is how it works now...

20 years ago it wasn't like this the big boys made all the money

Now everyone is similar in revenue because power 5 conferences share revenue

This is only true for revenue. UT has privately raised almost a billion dollars the last 2 years. We have more money than every other school looking for a coach. We can outbid anyone! Now, should we give a coach that’s under .500 in conference over 6 million a year? I don’t think so.

UT admin cares more about maintaining the highest profit margin possible. We'll hire a cheap coach, with a low buyout, because fans still fill Neyland regardless of the poor decisions of the administration. Another 3-5 years of "next year, next year is our year", and we'll repeat the process.

I disagree. UT brings in 10x more privately than the entire A.D.. while I agree they want to be profitable. The real $$ comes in the form of donations. You think football is going to cough up the $380,000,000 for the stadium upgrades?

I need to backtrack here a bit. My numbers are a little high. My math was just a tad off. It’s $500 million raised the last 2 years. Sorry.

As long as those donations are tax-deductible, it won't matter who UT hires. The people donating the large sums aren't doing so out of a pure and altruistic love of UT football.
