SIX year contract?

[ChattanoogaVols]

ESPN reporting we signed Jones to a 6-year contract. Considering our $ situation, this is ridiculous.

Hart is a cancer to the University of Tennessee. We will never be back to prominence until he and Cheek are run out of town, preferably in the most embarrassing way possible.

Are you kidding me? We had to give an assistant a six year contract just to take the job. Who is his agent? Dooley or M. Hamilton?

 

[TucsonVol]

We should have kept Dooley!

 

[ibvolman]

What are the terms of the contract? That might not be too bad if the pay isn't sky high, and there isn't some ignorantly inflated buyout. IMO there shouldn't be a buyout unless the coach is proven to be a winner first.

 

[ChattanoogaVols]

I now hate Hart more than Dooley.

Game to game contract is the only way to go here. 6 years? Give me a break.

Umm..

 

[VolFan_N_NC]

Just more proof that we have a moron running the show

 

[Vols4ever]

Giving six year contract just means no one wanted the job and we had to do this to even get Jones!!!

Not sure, the ESPN article only states that "A 6 year contract was finalized Friday..."

We are paying him $50,000 a year. His buyout is $100,000,000.

 

[ChattanoogaVols]

To quote a friend of mine: "Hart can get bent."

 

[TrueOrange]

Rarrr we should tear down the university and just leave the football stadium cuz that's all that matters rarrrr

 

[Vols4ever]

Also, we needed to do this from a stability perspective... 4th coach in 5 years! that is sad!

I wouldnt say this but maybe the folks calling for Dooleys head from day one will recognize that were on a slow rebuild. Thats how it was done last time we were down and thats how it will be done. Now that doesnt mean that we cant catch lightning in a bottle by getting a couple of special players and push that time frame forward.

All these haters in one thread. So funny.

Our program needs stability and support. Get with the program or get lost.

I see who likes to drink the administration Kool-Aid.

"Fans" like you who are loyal to the administration and not the program should be punched in the face.

How many now think Hart and Cheek aren't Trojan Horses from BAMMER and FU? I think I do now after seeing this amateur debacle/abortion of a coaching search. :realmad:

 

[Chilmonty]

I believe I read 6 years and 18mil, or $3mill per year!

If he has to be fired in 3 years that will be a nice $9mill buyout! :banghead2:

If Hart and Cheek are, in fact, trying to destroy our football program, What Would They Be Doing Differently???? :no:

 

[VolsRule]

6 year contract?? are you serious?? he probably has some obscene buyout built in--bigger than dooley's $5 mil.
