Wow, I'm shocked your guy is getting so much support from you on this.
For what it's worth, no, nobody except UT fans think it was a good move. ESPN might like the ratings, but everyone knows this will just bite him in the ass. The guy hasn't even coached a game and he already has half the coaches hating him. He won't make it in the SEC if everyone hates him. The coaches don't have to like each other, but they always show respect to one another in public.
Who cares what the rest of the league thinks. He just took 2 UF commits, 1 LSU commit, and a guy that was interested in Bama. He did this with very little time. I think Vol fans are quite happy.
