Chuck Benson

Do you think that Coach benson was not retained because he waisted UT's 5th and Final visit with Gordon before UT had named its new head coach? The left our new coach little if any chance in getting Gordon to Tennessee. :bad:

Gordon was never coming to UT period. Benson wasn't retained because he wasn't good enough period.

and the entire staff needed a revamp...good or not, its better to start from scratch then build on a shaky foundation.

Benson was a bum. Plain and simple. He has his chance and now it is time for Pearl to give someone else a chance.

i believe Edgar is gonna be a WAY better recruiter than Benson was..I'm glad that Pearl got him in here.

Some other boards are filling up with rumors that Benson had paid the Smiths money for the son. In addition, apparently Billy was moving to K-town for a new job and more $$ thru Benson. The RUMOR (RUMOR IS UNSUBSTANTIATED) is that Benson was retained for a few weeks after Pearl was hired due to an investigation of the deal by UT and the NCAA. WOW
