Hart has 8 years at East Carolina, 13 years at Florida State, and 3 years at Bama. So how exactly is he Bama through and through?

Maybe because Hart is an Alumni, he got his grad and undergrad degree from UA. He worked as an grad assistant coach at UA. He played ball four years at UA. His wife is an Alabama graduate also. Alabama is basically their home state.

But if you really think he'd jeopardize his career because of that, you're crazy.

His career is about over, Hart is retirement age. He is already a millionaire many times over. Hart's contract pays him the same whether TN wins football games or not!

Cutcliffe, Tee Martin, Jason Swain and a boatload of others are from Alabama and helped our team immensely! Dumb argument. At one time 4 of the top 10 coaches in America were all from the state of Tennessee...Fulmer, Spurrier, Carr, Cooper

Bammer has organized a hostile takeover of our program in order to reduce us to ashes. What, you didn't get the memo? They even sent them to Vol fans. Said something along the lines "we're taking over from the inside out - suck it!"

Well everything we've gotten from Bama so far has been disappointing.. Par for the course i guess..

Where he went to school doesn't matter as much IMO. Whatever someone is doing 70-80 hours a week is all that matters to them. But coming from FL and AL, he obviously believed there was enough here for him to sell the next good coaching hires and keep the alumni...doubt he would have left even a #2 role at AL for a lesser program. Only way for him to get a primo other job from here is to have success at TN. So far, Cuonzo

The thing I like about what I take from Hart's bio bio...he knows what should be doing. He won't bow to the highs and lows of anonymous chatboards. He won't freak like hamilton did mid-season and fire an underperforming legend in a horrible show of timing, judgement, etc for the likes of LK.

I expect he is actively/quietly searching for a Dooley replacement. If he find ones that is an upgrade (obviously most would be) in the present, he will make the call post KY bowl or no bowl.

The next hire is the critical one. The talent cupboard is in much better shape than after what LK did (transfers, dropped commitments, etc). Need to pick a real good coach if available. And while I don't want to give DD more time (just don't think he can win), I also don't want us to hire below our stature like we did last time given the loving timing from USC/Kiffin. I would even consider keeping Dooley one more year for continuity's sake if the alternative is not ND/Kelly type talent.

To that note, I don't want to buy Gruden...just want him to come if he's hungry to coach again. Fulmer was a great coach / recruiter...he just relaxed/got lazier at the end of his career w/o putting the right assistants in place to handle that. Only want someone w/ a fire to be coaching today.

So are you implying because he has those ties to UA that he can only work for them without being some covert plant that UA will activate at appropriate times just to keep us down at the bottom of SEC football?

If that is the case does that mean you can only work for Jefferson Middle School ?
