Reading through the posts in here it appears the whole issue with closing a deal has been the impending NCAA issues. It may not be the worst thing to do the interim thing for a year and see if the job is more attractive the following year. I don’t think Steele believes he is a long term solution. The man is 65 yrs old so he has a 2-3 year shelf life at most. I could see him agreeing to step aside to take coordinator role with the next hire in 2022. JMOI really hope Danny White has something up his sleeve! I'm really worried were gonna end up with Steele as interim. This is sickening and embarrassing that we can't get a deal done with a good coach. For once it would be nice if we had things swing/turn in our favor for a change!
That's the problem. We don't order from Amazon. We order from Wish.Some people don’t understand that hiring a coach isn’t like ordering something from Amazon where you place an order and it’s on your doorstep in a day or two. There is much more involved in hiring a head coach: salary, buyouts, contract terms, lawyers, egos, families, etc.
If the unknown NCAA punishments are holding back signing a good coach, let's go with Steele for a year. Potential coaches will see more clearly what they have to deal with next year.
No UT or non-UT aircraft that have been associated (that we are aware of) have taken off from Knoxville this afternoon. We had one visit west Tennessee for a STEM fest today. It returned about 4:00pm. Perhaps ADDW is smart enough to use aircraft that we do not typically use. The plane he used yesterday is still parked in Knoxville as of now.
