I’m told Browns owner, and Tennessee booster, Jimmy Haslam, has been personally calling members of the Tennessee legislature who were critical of Schiano hire and telling them: “You don’t make the Tennessee hire, we do.”

Every one of the people he called should have just answered: "Yes, that's the problem."

This coaching search is actually really simple.....the fans want want any coach that the Haslams do not. If Haslams picks them I guarantee they are not what UT needs.

Doubt he could hack it in Madden Franchise mode, let alone trying to run real ones.

He will not tell Beth Harwell what to do. Diane Black, season ticket holder, also spoke up. Is harrassment the next thing up.

He's half right. The state legislature doesn't make the coaching hire. However, the University of Tennessee is a large public land grant institution. It does not answer to shareholders like a for profit, but ultimately answers to the state of Tennessee and the various communities that the campuses are located in. It is there to serve the people of this great state who serve as the shareholders. Management at UT's Knoxville campus is responsible not only to the board of trustees but to the community and state at large. When shenanigans such as what has been happening with this coaching hire go on, it is a right thing for the citizens to contact their state representatives to voice disapproval. Frankly, Jimmy Haslam should stay out of the coaching search as he has proven to be an abject failure in competence with this task.

"We" got kicked in the balls this time.

How's the sack Jimmy?

Maybe the swelling goes down so that jumpsuit fits better.

Pilot Corporation (50.1%)
FJ Management (11.3%)
Berkshire Hathaway (38.6% (Warren Buffet)

It drops substantially over time IIRC.

Jimmy deserves to live full time in that northern garden called Cleveland. If you you've never visited there I encourage you to go.

 

[AM64]

Jimmy needs to take a long walk off a short pier.

Helped ... to make sure he gets into the deep water - wouldn't want the concrete shoes to hold him back.

 

[molsen81]

Poor admins.......working overtime to merge all of these similar threads.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

It's amazing someone with that much money can be that tone deaf and stupid.

 

[austin_vol]

Why does this suprise anyone?? Someone posted the other night that they knew with 100% certainty he called one of them and told them to take it down. I believe they said he politely told them to go to hell

I think he is arrogant. He's right and everyone else is wrong and he's got the money to prove it (as long as daddy says ok).

I hate Haslam

Same. Moving to greener pastures.

 

[andywilson001]

who is this "we" he's speaking of?
oh, so he is the ad. right.

someone needs to stand up to him.
why can't bev and dipietro just fire currie, hire who they want (blackburn) and let him hire the coach? why does everyone have to do what haslam says?

Since Jimmy is the one who called, I assume "we" means him and his dad, Big Jim.

Big Jim is the one who gives most of the money.

It drops substantially over time IIRC.

Believe Buffett will own 80% in a couple of years when the deal is complete.

 

[16thStreetVol]

So Jimmy is claiming they hire the coach? That's funny. I thought Bill said a couple days ago Jimmy wasn't involved at all.

 

[sanefan]

Correct, but in 2023 based on Haslam still serving as CEO for 5 years.

However, outcome of trial might impact his ability to remain at Pilot.

I think Berkshire Hathaway acquires a greater percentage of the company over the next few (5?) years ... but currently, the Haslam’s have majority ownership.
