Chris Low on Nashville's 104.5 The Zone said that he is certain Cheeks wanted Pearl gone and told Hamilton to do the dirty work.

Always bad when one of the academic Grand Poobahs gets involved. What's Cheeks going to do--pick our next coach, too? Good luck with that.

He needs to make the call and lobby for the hiring of a top-tier coach, too.

I think you'd be surprised to see how much he's been involved in all our recent issues with the basketball program (not sure about football).

Jimmy Cheek has done nothing to this university but preach diversity. If he could have it his way we'd have all international students, blacks, jews, and a terrible athletic program. Our new president Joe DiPietro has done jack since he got the job. The university as a whole's administration. Big Orange Screw... sorry, student just venting here

I'm with you. He absolutely should drive the train and when he pushes something idiotic, like Hamilton's getting out in front of the firing, he should eat his share of the bewildered stares.

Dude... What's wrong with having representative black population in our flagship state school? What do you have against Jews?

He was behind the stupid looking Hamilton mess from last week. Academic types can be the biggest morons of them all.

The UT administration -- both at the system and campus level -- has done such an abysmal job controlling the UTK athletic department that I'm sort of willing to overlook a PR screwup, if it's actually indicative that administration is taking a firmer hand. The inmates have been running the aslyum way too long.

I say this as someone who ranks UTK way above any of its sporting endeavors.

So you don't want to have classes with Jews?

You better run along. You're running late for your White Studies class.

How's that tiny square mustache treating you?

Don't disagree. Frankly, the AD just needs to be more capable of making decisions that better rep the University or simply directly answerable to them without the Chinese Wall.

No, I don't mean it like that by no means. I have no problem with diversity. All I'm saying is that has been Cheek's sole focus. The thing I do like is his push for a top research institution. This has nothing to do with anything, just venting.

Bottom line is administration at the very top is terrible. Blame has to go on DiPietro too for hiding since he has been hired

I think the issue people have is the lack of accountability from the Chancellor of UT, Mr Cheek. Pearl is gone, rumor is Hamilton will be in a few weeks who was primarily acting on behalf of the Chancellor and the donors.
