Fans should have no input on the inner dynamics of the football program or any department at UT. Have you read your own thread????So, you are saying that the next time we hire an AD, it does not matter what their qualifications are? And we, as fans, should not have any input into the process?
OK.
I am so glad that we did not take that approach on the last Head Football Coach search. I think some people should just go back to the Gruden XXXXIV thread. Now, that was useful.
Tennessee 101: Athletic Directors - University of Tennessee Athletics
According to the video at the above link, all UT Athletic Directors were either UT or SEC coaches before becoming AD, up until Mike Hamilton. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
This poll is not intended to be for or against our current AD. Someday, we will be in the market again.
That is the funny thing. Most everyone assumes that I have a (barely) hidden agenda.
I am wondering: can we not simply discuss why we were so bad in so many sports for the last 10 years or so? Is it because we have had bean counters when we should have had someone who has run a football program before? Or is it more important that they are a VFL who cares about Tennessee? Maybe we have simply had bad luck in our hires.
At this point, however, I think it is one of the most important questions we should be asking. I am sorry if it brings up a lot of old - and new - wounds.
