Tennessee wants Jamie Dixon or Jay Wright (reaction to Griff's story)

[crusse10]

This is stunning to me.

It's still difficult to wrap my head around that fact.

Griffith is an embarrassment to his profession.

That's like saying you are the sexiest guy at MIT. Or who lives in Raleigh.

Jay Wright could possibly double his salary by coming. May not be as much of a pipe dream as you would think.

Jay Wright passed on the 76ers job last offseason. He's declined to talk to Kentucky on 2 different occasions.

I don't like hearing names like this because it will make it sound like UT settled for their 5th choice.

FYI...Gary Parrish and Greg Doyel were railing on Griffith this afternoon. It was priceless.

cities that spend $$ on, oh, I don't know, libraries, museums, restaurants, SIDEWALKS.

Your emphasis on the latter amused me. Some of the sidewalks (such as they are) are crummy, though I don't think that would have much bearing on the quality of life for a UT head coach.

I'll spot you the bucks and the facilities, but people need to get real about Knoxville vs. cities that spend $$ on, oh, I don't know, libraries, museums, restaurants, SIDEWALKS. The big spenders who shell out the cash for UT coaches should think about spending some of that money in Knoxville to make it a city people actually want to move to.

And, by the way, I live in Knoxville, so I'm not just blowing smoke. I'm a UT grad and a loyal fan, but this city has problems.

I doubt Jamie Dixon is thinking, "You know, Tennessee would double my salary, but I just can't go there unless they build a new public library."

...and have you been to Pittsburgh? I don't care if it has the nicest library system in the country, the city is a dump and has few if any redeeming qualities.

Can't believe anyone would suggest Jamie Dixon and Jay Wright are Tennessee's top targets. Why not just go after Phil Jackson?

Was he surprised people actually read GVX?
