Doug Dickey worked out pretty well, he was fired at his last job as head coach ( his alma mater ) and he had no athletic director experience when we hired him.

Hamilton is to UT as George W Bush was to the USA.

Both failed.

Let's move on.

Have Pat Summit take on the AD job while coaching a No. 1 seed, that is what should happen. She would be awesome.

The big outcry from many fans, is that Mike Hamilton made this statement two days before the Vols play in the first round of the NCAA Tourney. They believe that Hammy sabotaged the team by making the announcement when he did. My feelings are that this was a well thought out and planned statement from Hammy.

Mike Hamilton has a brand to protect, first and foremost. Bruce Pearl has harmed the program's image and the networks have not been shy about telling the world as loud and as often as they can. Hamilton was not ready to blow up the program in preseason, as the team was about to start practice and play. However, the season has progressed and in light of the NCAA's letter of charges, a new charge against Bruce Pearl, came to light. Hammy is making it clear that Pearl's conduct was not acceptable and a fireable offense. He is also making it clear that Bruce Pearl's refusal to sign the new contract is an openly rebellious offense against the UTAD, in light of the NCAA charges and potential punishment facing the coach and school. A move to break ties with Bruce Pearl is likely to help absolve the UTAD and bring a much lighter penalty against UT in the punishment phase of the NCAA's handling of this matter.

Secondly, the statement was made, as an announcement that the back channels of communication between the UTAD and potential coaches is open. The NCAA tournament is the best place to find your best coaches. Mike Hamilton is making sure that aspiring candidates have time to think about the UT basketball job and what it offers. Coaches will not be shy to have their attorneys and agents go through the back channels ask about the UT hoops job and have UT gauge their interest in their candidates.

In hindsight, Mike Hamilton is doing what is right for UT and protecting the long term interests of the UT basketball program.

He was a yes man from day one. Why you think Failmer pulled so hard to get him in there? Yeah he's a weak leader if you want to call him that. Also the reason the whole thing resembles a circus right now.

All of this crap is not even debatable! Yes , mh is the common denominator! Fire him then decide if pearl should go but please get a decent ad! Ut needs to be looked up to and not looked down at!

So when is someone going to make the "Possible replacements for Hamilton" thread or the "Hamilton is already gone: Hypothetical" thread?

Who hear really thinks this program needs Mike Hamilton? I damn sure don't. I mean what would he need to do to get fired? Shoot the Pope?

Our overall athletics program has been slapped around left and right for 2-3 years. And yes, we are surviving OK despite. But IMO he is the last bad horse in the stall with the door open who won't leave. Time to get out the whip and show him the door.
