Sure gets a lot of love around here. If he isn't the worst he's making a good run at it.

You would probably have to look long and hard to find another AD with three ongoing serious NCAA investigations in football, basketball, and baseball, wouldn't you think?

But hey! Guy's a helluva fundraiser!

Who has the stature to fire him? He's only reported to the chancellor of the UTK campus for about 30 minutes. Before that, he reported to a toothless interim UT president, and before that to a scandal-plagued incompetent president who was on his way out for years. Our new president probably hasn't even moved his desk out of the Ag Campus yet.

No one is at the bridge.

But he's a good fund raiser, he's a CEO type ad, that's who you need running a multimillion dollar program now days. This is what some might say but I don't not like him never have never will. Ya know we had this discussion at work today and all of use agreed that you don't need a nerdy accountant running your athletic Dept. Only reason why people want him as AD is to keep coach fulmer out!! Ham never has coached or played so he doesn't see eye to eye with a coach, boosters are pulling his strings!!

If the NCAA drops the hammer on us I hope ham's ass is fired the same day!!

Jeremy Foley is regarded virtually unanimously as the best AD in the country. What's his coaching background look like?

If everyone on here loves Dooley why don't they give Mike any credit for it. Bruce was a GREAT hire. Lying to the NCAA and getting screwed cause of it does not change that. Has he done some dumb stuff? Yeah, but he is not as bad as people make him out to be.

I could careless what Jeremy Foley does at FU. I only care about our AD at UT, I'd rather have an ol' ball coach. People skills, organizational skills, leadership skills, and still be business minded.

Having an old coach as a ad is dumb. Thats how you end up with a non existent basketball team. The good ol boy philosophy is what got us into the Fulmer mess in the first place.

There's no such thing as a serious investigation into a college baseball program.

Any chance we could make a deal where our baseball program is dropped and our football and basketball programs are left untouched?


Kidding baseball fans.
