You obviously don't understand the "process". 1. A coach shows interest in a job. 2. if there's mutual interest he's then interviewed, 3. If the job IS offered there is "usually" a counter offer by the school which currently employs that coach. Sorry...but this takes time to sort out. Very rarely does an interview and job acceptance happen in one meeting. It's a process. It's simply not as easy and clear cut as some people like to think.

or read to much about this so called process. Most major hires are done by the employer not the potential employee. You reach out to your wish list and hopefully arrange a face to face. You do more selling than the employee. Hart has known for at least 5 months that he may come upon the day he needed to replace Dooley. Looks like he dropped that ball and he is now scrambling to hire the best available. If major companies sat around and waited for the best hire to come knocking on their door without any out reach and selling on their part then they would never be able to hire the best and brightest.

I am not ready to say what Hart has or has not done. He has played this very close to the vest.

That said, Fiji is right about how this goes. It is somewhat different than a business hire though. I will almost never counter offer someone who comes to tell me they are leaving. By that time, the person has thought it through. It is always about more than money. Even if you keep that guy/gal, all the reasons they thought were good enough to leave over outside of money are still there. They will leave soon anyway.

If someone wants a raise in business, they need to express it before doing a search. If the boss refuses... then you go see what your true market value is.

If UT wants Strong then they should make it VERY painful for UL to keep him based on salary.

I got an idea. Why don't you just STFU with you mindless drivel.

it's mindless drivel because that's what the 50+ threads each day saying the same thing have turned this into. it's gotten sad at the level of excuses and reasoning that keeps getting turned out every day. nothing i said hasn't already been said by multiple Vol fans in multiple threads. put on your big girl panties and buck up little trooper, it'll get better.

leaving an r off of "your" is not bad spelling it's bad keyboard response. Easy to tell the difference brilliant one.

Why are defending a Michigan fan that's just here trying to be funny and our expense?

i was here long before you were so i think it's pretty obvious i'm not here just to poke fun at your expense, although i do come here for my daily laughter these days rather than other sites.

I agree. I would make them pay for trying to get in the way. That's a Toyota Corolla program trying to compete with a Lexus. If they want to play stupid, as if matching what Tennessee offers Strong is enough to keep him from taking the leap...then drive the offer up, over $4mill/yr...maybe even add BCS bowl, SEC CG and NC incentives on top of that (to make it exceed 4.5 possible), wait until they match it or give in, and rescind the offer (saying we've moved on).

Probably addressed elsewhere but does Hart have any experience in this situation? He was FSU AD until 2007 and Bowden was there until 2009.

Overreaction?

I think not.

If what LaMonte says is true and Dave Hart only reached out to him for the first time this morning as a courtesy.... His ass should be on the next bus back to Tuscaloosa.

What a clown.

The fact that he couldn't get Gruden is one thing. The fan base can get over that.

But letting this volcano erupt for the last two weeks while he apparently sat on his thumb in his office doing nothing?!?!

This is the most botched coaching search one could ever imagine...... And apparently its not even close to being over.

Put me in the group that thinks we might as well search for a new AD as well.

I hope its true.. Make me like Hart even more if it is..
UT doesnt need Kiffin 2.0 and that's exactly what Gruden is.

What has Strong done to justify this kind of salary. I'm not against him i just don't see where his resume justifies this kind of money.

..when it comes to making a Top 10 job look like a job that nobody will take. I'm reserving judgment on the hire because it may very well be great, but frankly, the way he's handled this search has been a PR nightmare.

This is a complete disaster.... We are officially the laughing stock of the league. Turned down by 3 lesser conference coaches in one day!?!? That has to be a new record! Congrats Dave!

Can't wait to see the spin out of Knoxville on this. Now I know what it feels like to be a Vandy fan, sad day.

I think there are some very concerning issues at Tennessee. Why is it every time we need to hire a coach it is a complete disaster?

Where are all the Hart backers from page one and two of this thread?????


Tell us why we are overreacting now. What an effing joke.

Figured I'd get it started. This guy is clearly a clown that can't sell a prestigious job at a an all time 10 program. First Hart, then Cheek.
