They were the same people attacking the ones who hated Dooley.
If Strong tells the Vols thanks but no thanks, Hart should be fired for botching this entire search. If Strong says no, we have issues at UT. I worry about the future of athletics at our university.

This is a total embarrassment yet I would call you crazy if you expected it to shake out any differently. Like someone said in an earlier thread: this feels eerily similar to our last coaching search. For those of you that don't remember, coach after coach turned us down. Just remember all those that said hart has been looking for months and already has his guy. Now we are reeling. Will be interesting to see how this one shakes out
Just think. What if Gruden was never a realistic candidate to begin with and Hart still called his agent bc Hart wanted to appease the fanbase. Could you imagine how awkward that would have been for Hart. If that's the case then I respect the AD for doing his "due dilligence" as LaMonte quoted him saying. But these are all things that are speculatory at best and we will always wonder "if."
Make no mistake about it, Arkansas has hired the best coach so far. Malzahn was a solid choice for Auburn with their NCAA issues hanging over them. With that said, Dave Hart is NOT going to tell fans why any candidate did not take the job. You can feel he owes you this or that but it will not happen. How could the man tell the fans/media how he tried to hire this guy or that guy and they all said no. So here is your new head coach. Tennessee has alot of things coaches want in a job. We also have alot of things coaches want no part of. Calling for Hart's job or head on a platter before a hire is even made is just stupidity. IF any of the rumors of money and what we were willing to spend this time is accurate, we will have a good football coach. IF those were just rumors and we go on the cheap as usual as the boosters talked a good game, but were nowhere to be found when it came time to write a check, then it is what it is. I think Dave Hart knows exactly what he is doing.
