I wouldn't think that Jim Chaney would have the authority to fire Sal Sunseri.
I would think that with Dooley gone that would fall directly to Dave Hart, and is Dave Hart going to give an interim coach the authority to authorize that kind of buyout?
It would be great if he did. I'm not saying Dooley is/was/will ever be an amazing coach but the main reason he got fired is because Sunseri's defense was so terrible we had to score 40 plus points to even have a chance to win. I hope Sunseri knows that.
There was a guy from Pa. that used to call Hyams once a week and tell him about Sunseri at Alabama and how Tennessee should go after him as their HC. He claimed Sunseri would be the greatest coach since Neyland. This was a couple years ago way before Sunseri was hired here. I wonder what that guy is thinking now?
Does Rucker think Chaney would actually have the power to fire Sunseri? He isn't very bright when it comes to UT football and it's history plus he's brutal to listen to.
Makes no sense. Sunseri will more than likely be moved back to LB coach next year at TN so he can finish out his contract. That would save the University a million plus buyout money.
