UT paying Kevin Steele $450,000/year

[BeardedVol]

Contract details emerge for new Tennessee assistant coach Kevin Steele

 

[VeeOhElEsYes]

Pretty good value imo

 

[DonDiego]

Why didn't we pay him the Butch rate of $35K and let the barn pick up the balance?

We like to overpay, treat’em like they’ve already earned something. Bet we even have to pay him if he leaves on his own accord. Dumb AD is dumb.

Because its amateur hour in the athletic department....

Because he is an actual on field position coach and Butch Jones was an analyst. He will bring value to the program because he is respected and can recruit.

Then I guess a big ole thanky is coming from Aubie. We can call him what we want. I saw Botch a lot on the sidelines. Fact is, Bama is smart, Tn is stupid.

Butch was on the sideline doing nothing , he wasn't coaching

Sark was an analyst for Bama until Kiffin bolted. Saban was getting assistant or coordinator level contributions from him with USC footing the bill.

We could have paid $300K too instead of $450K too if we didn't want to go the analyst route..

Hard to argue against that.

We needed to clean house. But since Pruitt is staying, Kevin Steele is actually a very good addition.

If Pruitt had any sense he'd let Steele and Ansley get the defense right, and he and Chaney spend a week traveling around the country and learning new skills for the offense this off-season.

We didn't pay anything the university did. Stop complaining about someone's money that's not yours.

People who pay taxes, buy tickets, make donations, watch games on TV pay it. You don't know what I contribute jackwad.

I actually like the Steele hire. I just get sick of hearing how we have no $$$ and we could have saved $300K there in a blink of an eye.

 

[Eastknox865]

Now what I hope can happen is for Tennessee to hire the DL coach from Auburn and we start getting Auburn caliber Defensive Lineman

Thanks for straightening me out, cuz we all know Bama's all about keeping the rules..lol. Fact is, Tn paid Bitch's salary while he was there and Saban laughed about it. We, on the other hand, ARE STUPID!!

I can guarantee you don’t contribute anywhere near what the big donors do.

Stupid post of the day. Glad to hear 'The University ' has money to spend outside the alumni, taxpayers, tuition payers, fans, etc.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

🖕🏻

Classy. I make a valid point that every school that's in this situation pays the absolute bare minimum. We didn't do that.

The actual hire is good and I like it for the recruiting angle/Auburn transfer angle and the fact we really need an assistant/coordinator on the defensive side of the ball that's not in over their head.

 

[JoAllan]

Well ******* stop contributing

To be fair you said “don’t complain when it’s not yours” then he showed how it is his. So then you simply say to stop.

By your own previous statement he should be good to go on the complaining........right?

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

I can guarantee you don’t contribute anywhere near what the big donors do.

I can guarantee that you are right. But for an assistant coach hire, that money comes from operating budget which is comprised of multiple sources of revenue.....

You called me a jackwad....I said F you. Classy left when you started running your mouth.
