This is what really happened. As we all know at this point Strong was hired and had accepted the job to become Tennessees next HC. He stayed behind in Louisville to have his last team meeting. We also know CBJ had accepted the Colorado HC position. So what really happened? Well Ill tell you.
The ghost of Robert Neyland himself had been looking down over his great orange nation. Neyland had not been happy with the results of the coaching search and decided to take things into his own hands.
His first stop was a visit to coach Butch Jones. As he appeared to CBJ he told him in his demanding voice.
Coach Jones youre going to go coach my Volunteers. You will lead them through the T with pride, honor and dignity. You will return my Volunteers back to prominence. You will Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes. Do you understand son.
CBJ replied, coach Neyland they have already hired Coach Strong and Im going to Colorado. Neyland just looked at him and said son you heard what I said. So on a leap of faith CBJ called Colorado and told them he would not be accepting their offer to become their HC. His wife didnt even understand what was going on at this time.
Neylands next stop was a visit with coach strong. This was a brief visit as it did not take long to convince coach strong that Tennessee was not the place for him. At this point coach Strong notified Hart that he would not be accepting the position to become The Volunteers HC.
Now back at Harts office where he sits in total disbelieve in his luck. Thinking to himself, how am I going to get a coach that is going to satisfy this rabid fan base. Holding his head and about to cry Neyland appears above him. Neyland says son pull yourself together youre not in Alabama anymore. Man up, youre a Volunteer now. Hart looked up and saw Neyland and about sh*t himself. Neyland looking down on Hart says.
Our program is the state of disgrace and I am fed up with the incompetence that I have had to witness. Now son this is what you are going to do. You are going to hire CBJ to lead my Volunteers. You will fly out and you will bring him home. I dont care if youre up 48hrs. straight you will get it done.
Hart looking on in disbelief didnt say a word he just nodded. Then while still looking at the Great General Neyland wide eyed and scared he slowly picked up his phone and told his secretary tell them to get my plane ready Im heading to Cincinnati.
Now no one will ever admit to this but now you know the rest of the story.
