No accident that all sports are thriving. We all pay attention to the coaches/players, but if Chancelor and AD isn't right, we've seen how it doesn't work. Plowman's depth of questions tells you she's top shelf...leadership from the top matters.

I’ve worked at UT almost 20 years and indeed everything has changed recently under Plowman, and I’ll throw in Boyd as well.

Big fan of Donde. As an interviewer, she has a bad propensity of issuing “yeah”.

I really enjoyed that interview, two great leaders. University of Tennessee is rocking!

Care to elaborate on specifics?

I’ll leave that specific answer to @Volprofch05 , but I would submit a synergy across departments.

Plowman and Boyd are the 2024 version of Dickey and Johnson.

Well, previously we had constant turnover of leadership, in fighting, lack of cohesion, questionable decision making, etc. As an example that stands out in my mind, the preceding Chancellor was fired via the letter at the link below, in which the system president tore her apart, which is unusual in academics, to say the least. If you are looking for info specifically on the athletic department, just check out the book Decade of Dysfunction by Mark Nagi.

Read Beverly Davenport's scathing termination letter from the UT president

Davenport will earn $1.7 million for four years of work as a tenured communications professor even though she was dismissed for poor communication skills.

…woof. Didn’t realize it had devolved that far. Regardless of how bad it was, that’s a large amount of dirty laundry to be airing in public.
