I don't give a $hit if he can't put a complete sentence together as long as he can take us to the promise land. We need a coach nota Rhodes scholar.

Problem is Strong can't take Tennessee to the "promise land"! And I for one don't want UT to hire a coach who says the reason he had been passed over for HC jobs was racism!!!

And in today's media/sports world, HC's must be polished inasmuch as they are dealing with high profile donors - media, etc!!!

Did anyone else hear what Hyams said on 104.5 this morning that he believes Hart is doing interviews in NYC and that is where he thinks he interviewed Gundy???

Which is funny since it has been widely reported that Hart wasn't even in New York until last night.

If everybody would quit listening to Hyams, he would lose his job and maybe somebody who actually knew their a**hole from their elbow would take his place.

Dooley was well spoken, how did that turn out? Again we need a coach, not the head of UTs English Department. I don't buy the racism crap.

Hey Haus,
Nice to meet a fellow Rhea Co'er. My screen name derives from my love of the Golden Eagles and the Vols. My wife is on the faculty at Spring City Ele but we live down in Dayton.

See ya around,
AV

PS. GRUDEN!!!

My problem with Hyams is how freaking condescending he is while being wrong. I mean, it's ok to be wrong every now and again, but don't be a jacka$& at the same time.

Gundy won't leave OK State as he is a grad and I think he dad was also and he has been there for a while so he is in love with OSU.

Jim Mora JR??? Pleaseeee, we can't do better than that?? What has he done but win a couple of games in the PAC 12. I rather have Strong as at least he can recruit especially in Florida and is defensive minded which looking at our defense this year, we'll enough said!!!!!!!!

Disagree completely. The coach is the face of the university. He has to be able effectively interact with the media and fans. Like it or not, the PC skills help folks form their opinions of the coach.

That certainly gives him incentive to stick it to them, doesn't it.

The reason Strong was not offered the HC position at UF had nothing to do with anything but his ability to be a head coach. Period.

Anybody can think what they want, but if we hire Strong, we will be a 6 or 7 win team for a long time to come. Of that, I have absolutely no doubt.

If the story is true or not why "keep the heat" on it? What does that gain us or solve? On the flip side how does that potentially hurt us?

Because if Gruden deal got derailed I want to know "how", "why" and more importantly "who" is to blame.

You and I both know Knoxville's sports media isn't going to investigate the story. I think UT Fans should and need to know the truth of what went down and who is to blame. The answers to those questions are in my opinion paramount.

If Hart is to blame for the snafu, he should be held accountable. If someone else is to blame, then that person/people should, likewise, be held responsible. I strongly believe that the UT Athletic Department's paramount duty is to its consumers!!!

Oh I am sorry I see now the last two years Louisville was in between Bama and USC in recruiting rankings!! Must be those paint chips I've been eating!!

Strong must be planning on going to another team. Sure hasn't been recruiting for Louisville. Rivals has them ranked at #73 right now. Major recruiter, my a**.

We should be careful to not fall into the same trap as before.

Listening to the Knoxville jockeys may prove worthless again.

Another name will surface. One we haven't been mentioning or paying close attention to.
