Steele about to raid UT's coffers for two weeks of 'work'

[butchna]

Big meat chili fart as a parting gift from ole coach.

 

[kcvols1]

Boyd and Plowman are guilty of letting Fulmer hire him.

Wait, should they let the AD do his job or micromanage?

I’m confused.

The Vols Are About To Pay Kevin Steele An Obscene Amount Of Money For Two Weeks Of Work – OutKick

The big money guys have turned Knoxville into a cesspool!

 

[vol66]

I don’t ever wanna hear about not paying the players. Hell Oklahoma ought to pay Steel, he helped them more than he helped UT. This is ridiculous.

 

[wmcovol]

I am dumbfounded by the stupidity of throwing away 900k on nothing. Its offensive.

How would you feel if you donated your season ticket money to the AD this past season? Talk about hustled. My tickets are about $1,800 so it’s nothing I’d jump off a building over but I’d still feel lied to & screwed over seeing them just piss away money like this.

I’m with you, this is nuts.

Don’t blame Steele. He was offered a contract and he signed it. Nice move if you can get it

 

[ftsandersvol]

Eh - personally I think Heupel should've kept Steele as the DC or a position coach at the least. Steele's experience in the SEC and recruiting the Southeast outside of Florida would have been beneficial IMO. Oh well, no one in the AD cares what I think.

Most coaches don’t keep legacy hires.

 

[ftsandersvol]

A $900,000 giveaway hardly even seems obscene any more.

Do you need my mailing address?

 

[flatiron]

I said this yesterday. Fulmer paid him $450,000 to block Malzahn from coming to UT.

It seems like Phil wasn’t happy with just wounding the program as a coach, he had to come back as AD and make sure it was dead

 

[VOLINVONORE]

No Steele. No Garner. No Kevin Simon. This is setting up badly.

I really hate to lose Simon. He is our best link to the West coast

 

[Zues1]

So who's leading the list as our new DC under Heupel ??

Who's the DC at UCF

 

[vols555]

That money should come from what they are paying Fulmer to leave since he is responsible for bringing Steele in.[/QUOTE Amen

 

[vols555]

Amen

 

[Roustabout]

How the **** does Steele get a guaranteed two year contract during a hiring freeze, during an investigation? How does Fulmer get paid for two additional years. Why is the state AG not investigating UT??

 

[BreatheUT]

You could feel this one coming. I mean Heupel shouldn't have to be committed to Steele eventhough I would've loved for Steele to have stayed.

Surely Fulmer is not the only one responsible for the decision to bring Steele on though it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[badkarma]

Well Fulmer worked his dad gum butt off to screw TN at every turn.

Try to get Zack Arnett from Miss St ...offer Steele LB coach position for 450,000 a year ... he accepts then great addition .. if he bolts you save 900,000 and u can use that for Arnett buyout if he has one ...

 

[Freiwillige]

It is wrong to Steele, but the deal revealed would have great appeal.

 

[Tnphil]

Steele worked to get Malzhan fired at Auburn. I can see why Heupel wants no part of him even for a year or two. I’m not sure White wants any former Pruitt coaches, even if for a couple weeks, involved. I’m sure he wants very few Fulmer loyalists, which Steele would be, in the AD. Hell, I don’t want any Fulmer loyalists in the AD.

They’re surgically removing the cancer. It’s gonna hurt for awhile.

I'd say the Steele-Fulmer connection has something to do with it.

 

[jarnol32]

Fulmer=Dickey=corruption.

=wins.... Alabama is doing the same thing only they are more sophisticated and do it on a larger scale.

Sounds like a plan to me... if he does not like the offer he can walk away without our money. Don't know if he gets it back from AU or not. Just need to play this smart.

Why would any new head coach want to keep a DC that was trying to Fulmer his head coach at Auburn and was privately angling for the head coaching job while he was working for that head coach. Also, why would a new AD allow the new HC to keep a guy that is known to be loyal to the former AD. Knowing that Pruitt was toast and Fulmer was getting retired, whomever signed on to bringing Steele in should be shown the door as well. Nobody allows staff members to retain hiring privileges on their way out the door.

 

[vavolfan6]

I dont get why let him go...what benefit is that? If you have to pay him his full contract guatenteed, then try and see if he can work out first before letting him go. Its not like there are super high expectations this year. If Huepel is so great of an Offensive mind, then put Steele in charge of the defense and use him as a scapegoat in one or two years if it doesn't work out..


Geeze! We are a laughing stock....I swear if Huepel goes out and signs someone from UCF as DC, the fans should revolt
