Vols AD Dave Hart: "Four coaches in six years. I'd ask it. Is three years (fair)? That's a good question, and we'll have to address it."

Sounds like Hart wants to keep Hinshaw and Graham based on his comments about recruiting...

Vols AD Dave Hart: Previous head-coaching experience is "critically important" in the SEC. "This is a different world."

Caught that also. Seems to narrow potential names...

Wow! That speaks volumes in reference to some of the names mentioned . . .
"Old School"! A strong defense wins championships!

Vols AD Dave Hart won't put a timetable on the search. Said he wants to move quickly but "current landscape" indicates no guarantees.

I thought that Hart did a great job. I definately liked the leadership he showed us in the press conference. Hopefully his leadership will be much improved over Hamilton's.

Absolutely! The university administration and faculty have been a huge problem for program recruiting going back to 2000. Check out Doug Matthews radio program on Nashville FM 104.5. His old podcasts that detail the problems.

Wes, I've got a question and I don't know if you can answer it or not. If not thats fine, but I had to ask. In your personal opinion, who do you think the 3-5 most likely candidates are?

It is HUGE that the powers that be are making the university eat the transition costs. This is part of a bigger move to eliminate meddling by the faculty. Let them also suffer from their mistakes. I look for the athletic department to go back to reporting to the board of trustees instead of the UTK chancellor who is under the thumb of the faculty senate. Also, look for thesystem president to make the calls on academic criteria for entrance, instead of a faculty committee.
and a slew of other things.

"What happened last night was a complete embarrassment and unacceptable at University of Tennessee. We will do whatever it takes to get the best candidate here to win a National Championshp"
That's what I'd like to hear.

He didn't use those exact words, but he came pretty close IMO. I feel good about how he is approaching this search.
