Thank Mike Hamilton

[tvolsfan]

I also give honorable mention to Phil Fulmer for the misses on all those 4 and 5 star recruits that led to the misery.

Fulmer started this. Absolutely no question about that.

for putting us in a coaching spiro and ruining UT football

Hamilton was a puppet. Haslam controlled him

Hamilton didn't hire himself. He's the worst AD I've ever seen, but his level of incompetence was just a symptom of larger rot at the top of UT leadership.

indeed, a much looked over fact that has largely gone unmentioned on message boards...... but it starts at the top and Tennessee football has been a byproduct of those ranking officials at the top of UT's food chain for many years:cray:

He wasnt a puppet. A puppet has a hand up its azz. Hamilton had his head up his azz

It's not Hamilton's fault.
We've had consecutive bad ADs in this millennium.
The jury is still out on Currie.
The problem is whoever selects our AD.

agree 100%. bigger problem than the ad. our admin is horrible and do not have the will to win at any cost mentality.

It goes a lot deeper than Hamilton. The AD is just a puppet for those who really make the decisions.

Two fun facts that everyone ignores:
1)The irony is Fulmer lobbied for Hamilton to get the job. It's unlikely Mike Hamilton gets the job without Fulmer's approval.
2)Whatever you think of Dave Hart, he took over a bankrupt AD and made it back into one of the top ten most profitable programs in the country. He made some mistakes but UT will be in a better position to hire an elite coach because of the efforts of Hart.

I'm not saying the guy was great but let's recognize his accomplishments with his failures.

SEC Network money fixed the finances.
