    "I had more interaction with current Vols today than I had n the previous 2 years, met some great guys and excited football players, loved it"

    Sounds like Jones is already allowing former players to interact with current ones. Awesome.

    This is fantastic news. I love it that the former players will be around the program.

    Listen, I understand some people don't want to hear this, but Dave Hart did a really, really bad job during the search. The public relations, even putting aside the search itself, was a catastrophe. Go read anyone who follows the business and the opinion is pretty much uniform: Dave Hart stumbled and bumbled and embarrassed the university, but he may have ended up with a pretty darn good coach. That's not bias, that's how people who have no skin in the game feel. I don't think anyone can look at this search impartially and think Dave Hart did some great job.

    He could have been classy and contacted other administrators without putting our name through the ringer like it has been the last four days.

    BINGO!

    A blind hog can turn over an acorn every now and then, but he's still a blind hog.

    Hart could have terminated Dooley after the disaster at the end of last season. Granted, that would be a tough call, but he made the wrong one; then he hired a hge staff with gauranteed two- year contract. He also forced Sunceri on Dooley (and I am no Dooley fan) who wanted kevin Steele.

    As far as I know, the administration has made no concessions on academics. Apparently, many top coaaches we were recruiting have not heard about them either.
