What is Dave Hart's roll in all of this?
Very interesting question. He never had a role in this sort of thing at Florida State as Bobby Bowden was on cruise control during his tenure there. I've heard behind the scenes that Hart has been adamant about Tennessee getting into the 'football business'. Right now, the Vols are fielding a team with a coach who is competitively paid but not at the top of his game. I understand that Hart behind the scenes has been preparing UT's big $$$$ people for this day by pounding home the tremendous impact Nick Saban's presence and success has had on Bama's entire campus and coffers. Hart is going to be a driving force in UT swinging for the fences here.
